[Closed] AAR Cuda,I have one on auction

Honestly George, I dont see anything wrong with that situation. If the person had that type of money to put at risk buying diecasts more power to him. Absolutely nobody is twisting your arm to pay one cent more than you want to pay.

Ditto.

George I never read your post but for a fact you touched a nerve with what you must have said. Bob White is one of the most respected people on this site and one of the oldest. He doesn't post much anymore but he does sell on our auction board. Usually to the detriment of many of the other sellers here because his prices are as a rule way below retail. LOL It's a rare car that he will put a reserve on.

I agree TOM Bob IS the BEST!

I won't stand for anyone to slander Bob's name or accuse him of wrong doing. Further more I am sick and tired of people saying how "Wrong" it is to buy and resell die-cast models for a profit. There is nothing illegal, immoral or wrong with buying something (especially if its rare) and selling it for a profit. I think what upsets some is that either they missed out on the opportunity themselves OR they weren't savvy enough to try it!

You're right Phil, and so are the other members here who have defended Bob White's good name and reputation. I have bought cars from Bob for a number of years now and he is also a friend. There is no collector, dealer, or seller that has more integrity or honesty than Bob. He does, on a regular basis, offer diecasts at MORE than reasonable prices and no one ever has to worry that they are not EXACTLY as described. SOME PEOPLE on this board relate selling a diecast car to selling their first born child !! Time to wake up and smell the roses. There are literally thousands of auctions going on worldwide every day where collectibles of EVERY sort, and at EVERY price, are being parted with, for any number of reasons. Fine art collectors regularly sell off paintings worth MILLIONS from their collections............so..........what's the big deal when someone sells a diecast for a few bucks profit ?? This is a great place to discuss diecast cars, trends in the industry and, YES, even the increasing value of SOME rare cars !!.........IT IS NOT, HOWEVER, a place to take cheap shots at other collectors, or dealers who sell these diecasts for a profit. George, and a few others here, should look after their own business and keep their noses out of everyone elses !! Quite frankly we really don't need attitudes like 5 year olds on the board. God knows, the majority of us likely can't remember when we were 5, so let's not act like it !!!

BOB WHITE: The most decent and honest man this site has ever had. I don't post much and I didn't see the post that has created the furor but I've known Bob a long time and have NEVER been sorry dealing with him. This man has the courage and fortitude to put any of us to shame. He's faced life's trials, tribulations and personal cost with great spirit. And from the beginning of this organization has always been a truly dedicated D4C member, contributor and seller of these little cars we all love. The man is a HERO as far as I'm concerned (more than my $0.02's worth). [-(

Damn well said ! ! ! ! ! ! !

BOB IS TOP NOTCH........ And for the guy who takes pot shots at someone on this forum and then goes back and replaces his statements with Good Bye or EOM, all I have to say is.... "It is time for him to say Good Bye and leave this forum". NUFF SAID

Phil & Tom, It's just the Politics of ENVY at work in his mind.

LOL could be !!

To TOM CIRYAK AND EVERYONE ON THE BOARD

I have apologized more than once, and am deeply sorry for, and regret this whole situation.

With regards to Mr. White, I have absolutely no issues with him whatsoever. A couple of years ago, I bought a car from him, and the transaction was without issue. I got a fair price for the car he sold me, and it was in great condition, as Mr. White represented it to be.

Now folks, how long is this going to go on? I think it has been totally over-reacted to, and as I stated, I've offered my apology for the misunderstanding....and deleted the posts.

In the world I live in, when someone messes up, and they apologize, forgivness is usually next. I can leave leave the board if that is going to make everyone happy. And if that is what everyone prefers, I will. I'm not here to conjure up trouble.

I was wrong, and I admitted it, and apoligized. I can't do anything more!

I really do hope that we can move on. Let me know where we go from here.

BOB WHITE IS THE BEST!

I have bought more cars on auction from Bob White than anyone else. He is a pleasure to do business with - upfront, straight forward, generous, humorous, kind, and many many more positive attitudes. He offers many NEW products with a reserve (that is the same as the lowest asking price) that is an instant buy, so the price is ALWAYS the best deal around. Like many of you - I am so %%%@#$%#$ tired of the few on here who only complain and denegrate FM just on principle. My auction purchase of FM product from Bob have all been beautiful, new diecasts. HIS quality control is way above buying from FM direct. I would like to see the individual who started this negative complaint about Bob White SHUT UP AND LEAVE!

No need to go Canadian.....

Come on over to the Lounge and have a cocktail, if I'm not there hAve Sheila put it on my tab.....

George, in my opinion, I think your apology was...

... more than enough and seemingly very sincere. It takes a brave and geniunely good person to do so. Frankly, I don't think your statements were meant as a personal attack. I truly believe you were just trying to contribute your opinion to the board. I also think you are (or should be) entitled to expressing it too. However, perhaps in the future, you'll try to put more effort in tempering your opinions/statements to ensure that they're unlikely to be misconstrued. Further, I don't think demonizing you serves to be constructive. I'm sure all of us at one time or another, has misspoke and wish we could take back what we said (or wrote). I know I certainly have.
