eBay #3276449778, Hunter Original R52

[organist89]

eBay item #3276449778, is a 2-speed R52 from the 1970's (I believe). This is the 4th or 5th time it's been listed and always using the same picture. I'm wondering if the fan really exists, or whether this is some kind of weird scam. I've bid on it (maybe unfortunately). Any thoughts?

I'm in communication with the seller, he's supposed to call me tomorrow. Let's see what's going on.

I make no comment about you bidding 'pon it.

[pierces nightmare]

as you can see i cancelled your bid & you are now blocked from my auctions.
you freaking loser !
i would like to know where you play organs so i can shove one of those organ pipe where even god could'nt pull it out.

"pierces nightmare", you seen to have little class. I made an observation or two, and some reasonable conjectures which I posed as questions...not facts. To make such harassing personal attacks as you did shows your lack of intellect or sensitivity. And to make violent comments that concern one's profession, art, and religious beliefs demonstrates your total and complete absence of moral maturity and social class. You, sir, are a lousy waste of human flesh. I honestly think that you should consider turing in your membership card for the human race.

And one other thing...you seem to show a lack of knowledge concerning, or care for, the English language. To say "pierces nightmare" is incorrect. Since my name is a proper noun, it should be capatalized. And since it is posessive, there should be an apostrophe placed before the last letter [of the posessive singular form of my name] (s). In short, it should read: "Pierce's nighmare".

I've tried to be as respectful and articulate as possible. You will notice that I have not stooped to your level by swearing or taking cheap-shot insults.

BTW, this typographical slap-in-the-face has been delivered by a 14-year-old. Unlike you, I have a professional career...so I know that at least my house won't have wheels.

[organist89]

I'm not done yet, sir.

Let me be honest. Man to man...do you really have the fan? It has been listed several times. At least one of the past auctions was cancelled because "the item is no longer available for sale". Your current auction and the last one or two all said that the brown canopy was unavailable, so you'd send a white one. And why do you keep reusing the same picture? And is the white Casablanca Zephry Intelli-Touch that you're selling an existant fan, either?

BTW, good sir, here are some more corrections for your English betterment (from a 14-year-old):

1. "god" is a name (proper noun), so it should be capitalized.

2. "could'nt" is a contraction for "could not". The apostrophe (which is used to denote a missing letter, and put in its place) replaces the "o" in "not"...so what you actually meant to say was "couldn't".

3. There is no space between the word "loser" and the accompanying exclamation point. So instead of "loser !", you should have written "loser!".

4. The "you" in "you freaking loser !" should be capitalized, as it starts a new sentence. Actually, it isn't a sentence...it's a sentence fragment. Reviewing the conjugation of the infinitive irregular verb "to be", you meant to say: "You are a freaking loser!"

5. Insert the word "that" between the adjacent "so" and "I" in your last sentence.

6. "...one of those organ pipe..." should be "...one of those organ pipes". It is a singular article from a plural noun.

7. In your first sentence, you meant to say "As you can see, I cancelled...". You'll note that I capitalized the first word (it starts a sentence) and put a comma between the adjacent "see" and "I"...it is a split directive.



If you will permit me to do so, I would also like to further make note of your uneducated, hick-like use of the following cheap-shot, unintelligent insult: "you freaking loser !". Be a man. Say "freaking" when you mean it...you can't fool any of us into thinking that you mean something else; you also waste energy by making an extra useless keystroke for every asterick.

Now, old chap, let's think logically. If I was a "loser", why would I have a professional career at 14 years of age, speak better-quality English that you, collect ceiling fans, and be so polite and considerate? Let's face it...I'm a nice guy. I retracted my bid on Adam's fan when he asked me to, and I've spent the last half hour of my night helping you to speak more intelligible English. So how could I be a "loser"?


I won't charge you for my time.

I bid you good night, sir.

when it comes to a little crap like you, i don't have time for proper english.
however, quite impressed that you can read & write so well.
watch out--alot of people are on to you--just be careful....

[organist89]

I am aware that Adam's forum software automatically changes the real f-bomb to "" (it automatically puts the astericks in), and it also automatically changes the word "sh**" to the word "nuts". So when you talk about a "little nuts like you", I know that you're calling me a "little sh**". Don't worry, sir, I have realized this and appropriately detected your anger towards me.

I again wish to point out the fact that I have been erudite, articulate, and intelligent in my posts. You, my friend, have made yourself look like an imbecillic fool by swearing, calling names, and taking cheap shots.

I believe that you are angry only because I uncovered your little scam concerning the Hunter ceiling fan.

For the safety of the fan community at large, I am forced to issue you this ultimatum: if you cannot show me proof (like new pics) within 10 days that the fan exists and is in your custody, I will have to report you to eBay and also post on every corner of the Internet fan community that you are a scammer.

If you have a problem with this, you can come and visit. Man to man. You have my address. We'll sit around the fire in our nice British suits, and enjoy some fine brandy and cigars. We can have a lovely little chat concerning your morals and ethics, old boy.

I am afraid that I do not know what you mean when you talk about people being "onto" me. If you would care to elaborate, it would be much appreciated.

You may either post, or email me: [e-mail]
I'll leave it up to your discretion concerning privacy.

It is 1:30 in the morning, and I have a $225 church service to play tomorrow; so, I must bid you good night, sir.

pierce,
i am mad with you because of the stunt you pulled on me with the hunter original brushed steel fan. you sent me and the folks at ups around in circles looking for a fan that didnt even exist. i have been in contact with your school and they are aware of what is going on.
you also cost me near $48.00 in shipping and pick up fees from ups.
i posted this on the fan collectors wesbsite and my email lit up with guys from that site who have repeatedly had bad dealings with you.
you never rerturned any of my emails about the matter of the steel hunter fan. someone called me and i was told this is where you are now posting-that is how i found you.
if anything you should pay me for the shipping & return fees and the pick up fees ups charged me for your fiasco--then i will be quiet.

[brianH]

you go AP lol. i must admit that i do not trust pierce, and probably never will just because of the brushed steel original , (i almost contacted him on the thing) and what you did to AP was not right and i DO

suggest(only a suggestion mind you) that you consider your actions and think about what you have done

i am a Christian and i do not appreciate cursing in any shape form or fashion. so whoever is using these"nutty words" should please stop. i will always remain neutral in a subject until someone i know is involved and they r right. which is why i am involved now.

good day pierce. brian

Whoo hoo hoo! I cant wait to dig into this! Where do I start . . .



1. Adrian, my friend, I support you, but you hit two of my pet peaves:
i. PLEASE dont post anonymously. Sign a real name so everyone can know who's guilty.
ii. Vulgar slander and profane threads are lovely, but they shouldnt be in place of content . . . and relevant cunning insults are better.



2. Wow, Pierce, you've really done it this time! I didnt think it was possible for you to write or do anything more stupid than in some previous threads . . . and yet you've gone beyond my wildest dreams . . . let's take a look . . .

I think we all know that Adrian's attack on you was not directed to this particular thread but because of your overall business behavior, both on and off eBay. This is something we all have questioned from time to time, albeit more subtly, but if you havent noticed those subtle questions perhaps we too will have to break out the jackhammers.*

The bottom line: you took a 40 word statement and read into it to the point where you posted two replies, totalling 700+ words. Your tone was Very VERY arrogant and snobby, which believe you me, is not going to make *anyone* think any better of you, in fact quite the opposite. You make reference to your age . . . do you think that EXCUSES such behavior and attitude? I think it makes it worse.

What's all the more appaling is that, in those 700 words, you completely ignore the issues to focus on, of all things, GRAMMAR. Does that perhaps mean that you can not defend yourself when it comes to the issues? You wont honor your word, much less your legally binding contracts, but you know grammar, and that makes it ok? Good education is no substitute for character.

"I've spent the last half hour of my night helping you to speak more intelligible English. So how could I be a "loser"?"

I think you answered your own question.

"I have . . . appropriately detected your anger towards me."

And it took you this long?

"I believe that you are angry only because I uncovered your little scam concerning the Hunter ceiling fan.

"For the safety of the fan community at large, I am forced to issue you this ultimatum: if you cannot show me proof (like new pics) within 10 days that the fan exists and is in your custody, I will have to report you to eBay and also post on every corner of the Internet fan community that you are a scammer."

What scam? A fan was bought, and the new seller has relsited it, using the same picture. I'll admit it makes me suspicious, but there's no evidnce of a scam. And you have some nerve, talking about reporting other people to eBay . . . but I wont go there, not today.

"You have my address."

Your school's address, I understand.

"We'll sit around the fire in our nice British suits, and enjoy some fine brandy and cigars."

You're far to young for either brandy or cigars. I dont know what the hell you'd be doing in a British suit . . . and more snobbery does not make you appealing to others.

"I am afraid that I do not know what you mean when you talk about people being "onto" me. If you would care to elaborate, it would be much appreciated."

See above, see other posts (by myself and others) and maybe THINK for a few . . . seconds is all it should take.



3. Brian . . . good to see you as the compassionate voice of reason. You're Christian as well, eh? In addition to being a music director and multi-instrumentalist (including organ) I am a Minister of Music/minstral. Very much involved in ministry (despite evidence to the contrary embodied in my bluntness of speech). Wow, all this combined holiness will probably scare the hell, so to speak, out of Adam That is, after someone goes and drags him out of the club lol

*A jackhammer is not subtle.

[adrian parrado]

[CEILINGFANWIZ]

[Deleted]

Yes, everyone loves me, because I'm special.

Hey Adrian, you can be the bigger man and apologize to everyone, including Pierce . . . and that way, if something flares up again, you're guilt free.

But back to me being so wonderful . . so who wants to bow down and give me fans?

[CEILINGFANWIZ]

Make sure you have my address right, I wouldnt want them to get lost in the mail, or accidentally sent to Pierce's school (because then you would get charged by UPS 42 times)
