As an aside, if anyone wants the user ID of the dude who flaked, PM me. I won't fire shots in public, but I'll disclose in private, just so others can be aware of a potential flaker down the road.

Nah, don't sweat it. Dude is probably full of ****. Like the time i sold a drkshdw jacket on ebay. I described the color as a black/charcoal with hints of blue/green and said it's hard to describe but overall looks dark and black to most. The guy got the jacket and claimed it was very green and that it smelled really bad both which were lies. Though i accepted a return on the item with him paying for shipping because i feared him taking advantage of how ****** ebay is to sellers and just getting a chargeback and just keeping the jacket and me getting fucked. I ended up selling it for more than he paid the next auction so i lucked out

This is kinda unrelated but I feel bad for you, asobu. You have nice things in your thread I would be all over it if sizes were smaller.

Happened to me with a pretty popular poster here/sufu (he pm'd me on sufu). I held an item for about a week on a promise he'd "pay Friday," didn't bump my threads and told people who pm'd me they were sold because someone was taking them on Friday. Didn't pay and responded to my message Sunday or Monday saying he thinks they're too big... I think that's the worst kind of flaking, when you miss out on possible sales because you're holding something for someone who promises to pay and doesn't...

Love this. I know you can see these PMs, prickless!

Too much of a hassle going through Supermarket. Used to check it periodically, but now it's maybe one in 100 threads have anything that interests me and one in twenty of those at reasonable prices, plus it moves too fast to get past the first page without having new threads/bumps shift everything around. Haven't checked SuFu Supermarket in months, and have no plans to do so (actually, I haven't checked SuFu at all in months

Indeed. Maybe it's just me, but even without the pop-up notification, I find it almost impossible to visit this forum and not quickly notice I have a new message.

Edit: Haha. Du (TM Jet) is in the Ask a Question thread now and talking about making cops.

Where can I buy dress shirts? Like slim ones? For cheap? And in bulk?? Got these Brooks Brothers slim fit non-irons at $50 a pop, they look ridiculous with Jil Sander pants

But at least decent under a suit

Sadly those are the best option. I picked up several of those today for use as work beater shirts. I had to size way down to get a decent fit. btw I hate that damn Brooks Brothers downtown. They treat everyone like idiots and are always in a sour mood. They get feverish if you want to disassemble one of their shirts to try it on. It is really the only store in the city like that.

I wish they had a better selection of these. There just aren't many styles available.
