John provide such a wonderful service for all of us members.
Please be a little bit mercyful at him.
One thing you can do is stop grabing things from him on ebay.
John always use sniffer.
but sometimes you see he first put a bid in,
I guess he is sending a hint.
that he is really want this CPU.
Man can be greedy, but there should be some limitation there.
What do you think, guys?

I am very grateful for his services but this time I disagree. I would better pay some donations like we did in the past or help him by other means. Firstly, I would never know what he actually wants. Ebay currently doesn't show who actually bid too (and I don't have time to check every time). CPU collection is some passion too, sometimes you just want a CPU at almost any affordable price. And finally, no guarantees that he will win (not some "rich" or "crazy" person from somewhere).
I don't use sniffer. And I don't know if I've grabbed any CPU from John in ebay  .

It's time to pay regular annual/monthly membership fee to show your support to CPUShack and AVICC. Also the donation is welcome.
I'm agree with vezhlys for ebay bidding. We all are friends in this forum, but we will sometimes compete each other on ebay. |

I dont mind too much when someone outbids me, though it is funny when it then ships here LOL
If its for a lot of CPUs, its kinda nice to be able to get one of them

Eventually all cpu will go to CPUShack or one of his descendants.
If you own it now, it is only temporary. When you die it will be sold, stolen or given away to ungrateful relatives who will sell on eBay eventually. |
