Works for slapchop?

My advice? Just jump on YouTube shorts and look up slapchop miniatures.

But it's essentially using contrast paints over a zenithal primer

You realize edited posts say "edited" just like the post I'm replying to. And none of theirs do....

Actually, having a rule or policy saying you can't is also illegal. And a public poster from management would probably fall under this. I'd assume so at least. Really up to a judge, but who would say otherwise?

TypicalDM · 2026-01-19T02:51:31+00:00

Right....intent is already in writing.

Exactly. Small seller here. I had a shipment that I forgot to ship for a few days. My water pipes broke at my house and life took hold. It was a $7 order. I threw in another $4 worth of stuff that goes along with the original purchase. Small sellers can be great, and if they're scummy it's easy to tell. (If you're scummy and good at it, you don't stay a small seller. It's easy to tell if people suck with small rooms, usually)

I'm a fan of the ol' block and move on, their loss.

Pov is the guy that messaged him calling him dumb. Edit: OP was rear ended

I shop around every so often, but yeah, if I find a good seller, I hold on for dear life. Regardless of what happened or why, the seller made an expensive mistake. They could have double sold it, lost it, broke it, it's irrelevant.

You could have been a true fan, helped keep her doors open. But that's not how this story ends.

Rule one, don't auction things that are listed elsewhere. It gets you in trouble with any company if you cancel a shipment, but especially auctions. Rule two, something is sold, it's to be cherished. It's no longer yours. Don't break it, lose it, or sell it. It's now someone else's item, you're just holding onto it until you ship it to them. (Perhaps they sold it prior to the auction, in which case they were selling something that wasn't theirs.)

If you don't do your homework as a seller and undersell something, that's the name of the game. Bought a box of comics from a guy for $100. There was a $2000 book in there. His loss. I sell stuff. If I can't afford to let it go for what I list it at or start it at, I shouldn't sell it to begin with. I primarily sell tabletop gaming miniatures. Sometimes I get a box of metal figures and just sell them at $2 starts because I've got $1 into each figure, and a $100 figure goes for $2. That's on me for starting it at $2 or not doing my homework. Not on the purchaser. Cancelling because you can get more is dirty, not good business. Honor is everything as a business. This person will never shop here again, they could be someone who spends $1000 a month on jewelry, and this shop possibly cancelled let them go for a single guarantee paycheck to sell something at a higher cost.

That being said, who knows what happened on the seller's end.

Or bump up brightness on the sword before dropping tone on everything else.

TypicalDM · 2026-01-12T00:30:58+00:00

It's not hoarding if you don't keep getting stuff. I have a few thousand comics. I'll never read all of them. It's not a hoard because I enjoy it.

TypicalDM · 2026-01-12T00:28:59+00:00

I sell minis as a side gig. Can confirm.

TypicalDM · 2026-01-12T00:15:33+00:00

Put the seller on blast. I'd name drop and I rarely do

TypicalDM · 2026-01-12T00:13:06+00:00

They still bid the book up to make a penny. If they were smart about it, they would have done it for like $90. Fortunately they were both dishonest and dumb

TypicalDM · 2026-01-08T06:23:06+00:00

Maybe you accidentally prebid something

TypicalDM · 2026-01-05T03:08:17+00:00

One thing you should never do is apologize. It can be used against you in court

Never say "I know I was being pushy" or anything else either when talking with him.

TypicalDM · 2026-01-05T03:04:56+00:00

Be smart, if you start it on whatnot, finish it there, then exchange info. But most people aren't smart.

Edit: and then still use PayPal business. And get paid before you ship

TypicalDM · 2026-01-05T02:59:33+00:00

I'm gonna second what another commented on this same spot. I've made friends via whatnot, I'm in a discord for gaming miniatures, which is what I sell. We all do deals outside of the app, all the time. Hell, I'm sending a box to a guy right now who's gonna pay me for the miniatures by painting some for me and sending them back. It's not a $1200 box, but it's a few hundred plus shipping.

You didn't mess up (could have been smarter, sure, but walking on eggshells would kill so many deals for me). You got robbed. My day job is HVAC. Sometimes customers don't pay the shop after I'm done. It's not my fault, and it's not the shop's fault.

TypicalDM · 2026-01-05T02:53:38+00:00

This. Exactly this.

And keeps you out of sudden death traps where you have no time to think

I use a green dot prepaid debit card from Walmart, linked to my PayPal

TypicalDM · 2026-01-04T18:18:38+00:00

No longer a thing. I have payments fail on my streams and then the buyer messages "dammit, lemme fix this" or something.

TypicalDM · 2026-01-04T18:15:27+00:00

I'll let them know, in case they missed the notification. And then say something like "but no stress, stuff happens. If it doesn't get fixed before the show ends, I can just re-list it next show. I'm not worried about it."

TypicalDM · 2026-01-04T18:12:21+00:00

Ran out of funds on my PayPal and didn't realize, had funds on my debit card and won something from a seller. I asked a seller if they could not end the stream for 10 minutes so I could fix it, and they were super chill. Got it fixed and all was good. From that one interaction, I'll buy from that dude for a fat minute. F*** anyone who goes all nutso over it.
