Wow, i just read through that. Missed the whole thing on here. Whatever you think about the back and forth between this girl and forum members here and at RS the real question that needs to be answered is- what the **** is Jordan playing at??! Is anyone really stupid enough to buy the "he's just training me up" line or the "i'm just trying to drum up interest for him while he's away" ??! Whaat....? Yeah i often get my 12 year old niece to do that when i want to sell that's very sought after, incredibly valuable, specialist, vintage items that i know full well no one is ever gonna want to deal with a kid over. If my niece is busy i try the cat. Just get a pic uploaded of my cat (he's 2 now so adult) and let him type away on the forums. It's not me who's a dick it's all those nasty collectors who have taken offence to being led up the garden parth by a ****ing madman and his clueless minion.
The whole thing, apart from anything else (creepy, questionable, insane, misguided, deceitful, manipulative, dangerous, clueless, arrogant) is pretty ****ing insulting. The lack of respect and disregard for the collecting community to pull this kind of **** is unreal. Whether you think he's done it honestly and meant no harm (and that's probably scarier!) or he's done it to not only use and manipulate a teenage girl but also to (in his mind) cleverly manipulate and entice experienced collectors to fall for "the deal of the century". Or maybe just to have some fun at our expense. Or this girl expense... i'm not really sure. Either way it's one of the most questionable and unsettling things i've ever seen or heard of anyone doing on a forum. To not see that is either ignorant or plain stupid. Or Josh but we know that's a different thing. :lol:
Someone really needs words with this fool [Jordan]. If it happened on a forum i ran i'd be looking for his phone number and having serious words and talking to that young girl's mother to see if she's aware of what this middle-aged man has been getting her daughter to do. Now i'm not condoning grown men lashing out at a young girl but at the same time what kind of a ****ing idiot would put a young, completely clueless girl in this kind of environment. One where people are not usually nasty for nasty's sake but are understandably always on edge and guarded against time-wasters, scammers, piss takers and the like of which we see here week in week out. Good people getting conned, messed around or just plain lied to. When you see ALL the tell tale signs of this kind of member be it a man woman teenager, whatever, the reaction is not only understandable but more often than not, warranted. Read through the threads again, right from the outset it was clear that this girl was hiding something, not telling the entire truth (for whatever reason) and that is ALWAYS gonna get people nervous, on edge, would up, outraged ETC. And quite ****ing right. If i feel that someone is trying to take the piss out of me and or waste my time in any way whether on a forum or in real life i am incredibly quick to quite aggressively tell them to **** off. And no matter how you wanna look at it, this girl/Joran was here wasting people's time.
