Nobody was in the least condescending. The reply was succinct and
accurate. Not everybody feels the need to couch everything in smiley faces and cute comments to express friendliness, and doing without them is certainly not smug and condescending. Also, not everybody does know about selling old magazines -- Ornament, which is pricey to start with and has historical value to artists on many levels, is a good example of one that can be resold, and if in a complete run for several years, maybe even for close to the cover price. (This would be to a collector who missed those issues or a library that needs them to fill out a collection, mostly.) Sunset (or more commonly, National Geographic) are examples of titles that might not have salability -- too common, too easy to get. (However, never hurts to try!) I am a librarian. I once sold (to a commercial resale vendor) back issue computer magazines and some other kinds for $10,000. (Of course, the original subscription prices of a few of them were $300 PER ISSUE ($1200 per year, quarterly) so it's not so exciting as it seems!) People want to donate old magazines to us (in my current library) all the time (especially National Geographics) but we don't have a use for them, and in the end we'd have to pay a tipping fee at the dump to get rid of them. Nobody here has the time or resources to try to deal them on Ebay. If I were trying to sell back issues of Ornament I would suggest bundling them by year. You could ask at a public library for referrals to a commercial vendor like I used, and they would make you an offer based on the run of issues available -- and pay shipping. Or use Ebay.

Apparently you neglected to read the final word in the reply. "Jeez" doesn't sound condescending to you? it was unnecesary, and implied that the questioner was some sort of an idiot for asking the question. The reply was succinct and accurate, it was just the snotty after-thought comment that rubbed me the wrong way. |

Well, I apologized, didn't I? Is that not good enough? I apologized nicely,
felt bad about it for a couple of hours, then come back to see that people have completely ignored that and continued on arguing about whether I was being snotty. *sigh* You know what? I really can't do this anymore. I don't have the emotional energy to try and please everyone all the time. People want to be ****ed off at me? That's fine. I don't have the energy to try and fix that. -- Kandice Seeber Air & Earth Designs http://www.lampwork.net Nobody was in the least condescending. The reply was succinct and accurate.

And I guess deciding to pick a fight over someone saying something not
particularly important to someone else is just "you". -Kalera http://www.beadwife.com http://www.snipurl.com/kebay Moonraker wrote: Nonsense. She apparently didn't know about spamcop, and was surprised there was a market for old magazines. You act(ed) like she was a total idiot for not knowing these two things, and asking legitimate questions. You came across as smug, condescending, and above it all. But I guess that's just "you". "Kandice Seeber" wrote in message ... Not considering her reply to the original post. -- Kandice Seeber Air & Earth Designs http://www.lampwork.net Spamcop.com provides email addresses that filter out spam. And people do pay for old, back issues of magazines - on ebay and other auction places. Jeez. Jeez? Tad bit condescending, don'tcha think? |

Well, Kandice, I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but I certainly
have, that the person to whom you actually *said* "geez" (Wow, I didn't know that was such a world-shaking insult these days! It's like the "******" of the 21st century!) didn't seem to notice OR care. Probably because it was so minor, so trivial, that IF they noticed, they probably brushed it off with a "whatever" and went their merry way. FOR ANYONE ABOUT TO GET ALL UPSET THAT I DARED USE THE "N" WORD: I *am* one, so go stick it. -Kalera http://www.beadwife.com http://www.snipurl.com/kebay Kandice Seeber wrote: Well, I apologized, didn't I?

That sho look like a f*** in' white girl on that web site? Where do you get off with that stuff? This whole thread degraded from step one, and now you pull that crap, if you are gonna lie, at least cover your tracks better than that. Use the N word, even if you were a sister, you'd know better and have more class than to throw it on a NG. |
