I am surprised no one has bid on my 1966-67 DEC Flip Chip Logic Handbook on
eBay, item 5295648822, about 15 hours to go.

I have one too. You'll have to tell me if it sells. Mine is the digitial
Logic handbook, with "Flip Chip(tm) modules" printed across the photo on
the front cover, 1966-67 edition. Been wondering what to do with it.

[Criticism] On an occasion of this kind it becomes more than a moral
duty to speak one's mind. It becomes a pleasure.

Well, if I didn't already have a copy...
Somehow I'll be surprised if you don't get at least a couple bids in
the last 60 seconds.

Hi All,
I realize that this is NOT the proper venue for pursuing this, and I
apologize to the list before hand, however
as this has to do with a persons credibility, and doing business with
people on this list, it is definitely on-topic.
Last March I had a fairly large lot of IBM XT and AT parts from some
5150's and clones picked up at an auction.
I had no use for them but looked for a good home for them. Several of
the items were somewhat rare and maybe even
semi-valuable, as I received quite a few responses from people on the
list that were looking for these same parts!
I decided to cut down the hassle factor by giving away the stuff to the
person who would take the whole kit and caboodle!
There only cost would be re-reimbursing me for the UPS shipping cost,
approximately $30.00. The person who agreed to this,
received the shipment, and then complained to me about the rough
handling by UPS, then totally reneged on the shipping costs,
despite several polite reminders. I decided not to pursue this as it is
not worth my time and effort.
I have given away for free, various items using this list and off-list.
About 98 percent of the people I have dealt with have no problem
sending me the money promptly after I have paid the shipping upfront.
Unfortunately this person IS NOT one of them.
Just a word of caution. Credibility on this list is, IMHO, worth more
than any Ebay sales effort.
Respectfully,
Tom

Sorry Tom you are right, I am behind in my payment.
When the box was delivered by UPS it was highly damaged, missing packing
materials and with boards and chips falling out.
I communicated with you, filed a claim with UPS and decided to wait and see
what they said. Reviewing my records it looks like UPS never got back to me
and I never followed up. Unfortunatly out of site was out of mind. Tis my
fault.
I offered paypal at the time, but you said no. I can offer that again or
will get a MO out as planned. Please contact me privately with what I should
do.
My credability is important to me too. I have supplied a lot of equipment to
this group at very reasonable prices.

This is one reason that it's more effective to just sell the stuff on
E-bay. If there's any problems then you can use E-bay's procedures to
handle them. If you sell privately, you're own your own. I hate to say it
but I've sold stuff to several people on this list that have never paid for
it. I've also held stuff for people on this list that never made
arrangements to pick it. AND I've loaned stuff to people on this list and
never seen it again. If some of you wonder why I haven't replied to your
"I'd like to have this" messages that's why (plus I just get too busy
sometimes). If I have something that I don't want and someone else wants it
and sends me a SERIOUS "I'd like to buy this" message then I'll take it
seriously but all too many of the messages fall into the "I won't mind
having this but I'm not serious about it and you can send it to me for
free" or the "Maybe I'll get around to paying you one day" catagory.
