So you can probably see my confusion. Totally understand if you're selling for someone else though - thanks for the explanation.

Also, I wasn't try to be snarky with the "food on the table" bit, I literally meant it -- I DO understand that some people can use this forum to make money to provide for their every day needs. Got no problem with it. And if you want to use eBay to sell to members on here, that's fine too. People are free to do what they want and set whatever prices they want.

I never got a response from you regarding the TR questions or anything else, just the bag, so that added to me asking the question above - but I thought I did respond regarding the bag. Could've sworn I asked you for price and where to send payment to after giving my address, but never got a response. Maybe the PM didn't go through because of a full inbox? (Get that error alot on my part but don't always notice it because it says it AFTER I click send) Box is always full lately.

Anyway, guess you answered my questions, and I'll send (or re-send) you a PM about the bag when I can.

Well I am a bit confused by your response. You say to me "no need for rudeness" yet your initial posting that I responded to was exactly that. So my response defending myself was "rude" in your eyes, but your initial comments were not rude? How can that be?

Also, can you show me where I said I had gotten "several" of the Tomb Raider prints? I checked all of the messages in my sent box and found no such message where I said that. Nor did I ever make a promise to you or anyone that I would get something. If I sat back and did that my entire time at PAX would be running around getting stuff for people and not being able to enjoy the convention or the time with my nephews and friends. For you since you were the first person to ask me, I did my best. I was able to get you a Sword Coast Legends bag and code card, but then YOU said you were waiting for the console version and that the code would not work for it so I held back one of the bags for you. I also said they had given out some sort of pin but I personally was not able to get one for myself, they ran out each day. Unfortunately that is all they had for that particular game. I never heard back from YOU to get back to me with regards to the shipping costs to mail the bag to you, I wasn't planning on charging you for the bag, as I had said I would try my best to get you something and I did just that, all I expected was you to cover the shipping. But again, YOU never responded to the last message I sent you back around the third week of September.

You know all of this could have been avoided had you just private messaged me directly but you chose to post on a public thread and at the same time your initial post made me out to be the bad guy here, and all I did was post in response defending myself. You and everyone else would do the same, but had you simply messaged me directly, all of this could be avoided. In the future you can't mock someone and then when they defend themselves, come back and have the audacity to tell them they are being rude, that's like the pot calling the kettle black.

For the record, I didn't get several Tomb Raider prints, they were very strict about them making people wait and they had only a set amount per day, I was told 100, but by the time the crowds got in, it seemed everyone was going to the TR booth to line up either to play or to get the print. There were two different prints, one for Friday/Sunday, the other for Saturday/Monday. The game doesn't interest me, nor does waiting an hour or longer. A few of my friends and nephews waited and got one. One friend had theirs personalized and kept, which left me with four to sell, one which did recently and three left to sell (two of one style, one of the other style) and one of those being signed by the lead writer. Yes I sell for over half a dozen friends and nephews, should you be interested in the signed one, feel free to message me directly, or you can wait until it gets posted on eBay as I put things up in waves mainly due to time.

So I hope you understand why I posted in response and if it had a defensive stance to it. It's all good though in my mind now....

After reading my original comment I can see how it was coming across rude (and why I apologized in my second post). I already said though that I was not intending to be snide/rude. If it was, I most certainly would have sent it (with some explanation) in a PM. The "pfft" emoticon was merely the closest thing I could find to express the "hey, those are things I asked you about before but hadn't heard back on, GIMME!" feeling I had. Followed by the realization that, "I should let him know that if he didn't want to sell/trade to me but wants to fetch an open-market price, I'm "OK" with that too" emoticon/sentence.

That's all I was implying in those 2 sentences. But like I said, I can see where it could be misunderstood or perhaps miscommunicated on my part.

I'll send you a PM so we don't clutter up your thread beyond this - I really didn't intend on it being any type of discussion, I just thought you'd say "yes, I have some of those now and couldn't sell to you BECAUSE...". (normally I'd insert a emoticon here, but I'll skip it as these things seem to be causing more trouble than they're worth)

Here's the quote about you having extra TR prints since you asked about it. I sent you a PM about it afterwards asking about them and the response just mentioned the bag, nothing about the prints (thus the whole "pfft" emoticon post to begin with).

My Tomb Raider prints will make it up on eBay, I think I have three of one style and one of the other style. One is even signed by the lead designer of the game, the others aren't.

Anyway, I hope that clarifies my intentions and motives. You've clarified yours, and it sounds like we're both on the same page about them and good to go. My apologies again if I didn't send you a follow up PM regarding the bag -- I still haven't checked if I did or not (though I remember typing it out), but I'll send you one in just a minute either way.

I appreciate your time and the help you've provided thus far. Thanks. I'll try and double-check my posts/emoticon usage for the future for any implied "rudeness" that is not intended too (if it is intended then I obviously won't apologize for it haha, but I don't think you have to worry about that).

Let's get back to buying and selling eh?

Unless the emails delete after a certain amount of time I could not find an email where I said that but don't doubt I did say it, I just don't have any messages in my inbox or sent folder, so I have to assume then that messages auto-delete themselves. Yes I got Tomb Raider prints in, my apologies if I was not as open as I should have been clearing up any confusing as to who technically got them, I simply don't have the patience to wait in the long lines at PAX, so I avoid them, thus, I avoid some cool swag but that is the risk a person takes. Others with me had no problem waiting so they reap the rewards per say, I just sell it for them.

I don't really subscribe to the emoticons thing, personally I feel in today's world since people rarely "talk" anymore and rely on emails, text, instant messages to communicate, its difficult to tell if a person is being rude, trying to be funny, serious, etc. That is the problem with living a world where people rely too much on technology running their lives for them rather than the other way around. I guess I am a bit old school, and since I am probably much older than you, you have to understand why I feel that way, when the internet was coming on board for home use I was already in my mid-20's.

So for me its best to avoid the emoticons and just say what you feel, if you are happy, say so, if you are pissed, say so as well, its much easier to read a person's feelings and reactions that way.

I got your PM and will respond.

Thanks, I sent you a PM, I have multiples of these in stock so the one on eBay sells before you see my message, I have about four of five more signed ones available.
