This is a completely different listing

In Reply to: No apology...here is the REAL auction number which he took out Holland posted by Kevin Deal on April 28, 2015 at 09:05:46:

This is the first time we are seeing this listing. This is, IIRC, the first time Mr. Deal is informing us that there were actually TWO separate listings that he had concerns about. This newly revealed listing is completely different from the one Mr. Deal himself has been making an issue out of all along that he twice posted links to, last month.

Why didn't Mr. Deal clarify this before letting so much water pass under the bridge?? It's not like there haven't been plentiful opportunities for Mr. Deal to respond like this, before today. He is now saying "he forgot." So, does this mean that Mr. Deal... simply made a mistake?? Okay by me! But, he has to extend that kind of understanding to others, as well.

I hope that Mr. Deal realizes how terribly confusing it is to the issue, to reveal this information so late in the game. It would have been really nice if Mr. Deal had kept the listings straight from the outset, which would have saved a lot of time and trouble here. If Mr. Deal started out having an issue with this newly revealed listing, why did he originally opt to do a two-step and substitute an entirely different listing to make his point, without telling us it wasn't the actual listing that he claimed said "Holland??"

We can only go by the information that is presented to us.

Given that this is a separate listing from the one that has been under discussion thus far, it is therefore, strictly speaking, a separate issue in and of itself. Arguing dishonesty from silence on the part of Mr. Bowman regarding a listing that hasn't even been known about until this afternoon is just silly. It's just like any other argument from silence. You simply do not know what Mr. Bowman had in mind, no matter what you claim your "gut" may be telling you.

This new revelation does not change anything about the disrespectful tone and tenor of Mr. Deal's e-mail to Mr. Bowman. Nor does it change the shocking way he embarrasses his own customers on his website. Nor does it change the fact that none of us can read Mr. Bowman's mind to know whether he willfully misrepresented his tubes or if he simply made mistakes like Mr. Deal has made significant mistakes in this thread. Strictly speaking, the revision history of this newly revealed listing does not tell us exactly what was revised, either. So, in posting this "new" information, Mr. Deal has proven nothing.

Mr. Deal has no excuse to be anything other than respectful in dealing with people, regardless of the circumstances. By rights, he needs to rein-in his self-appointed, draconian "authority." I, and, I am sure, others, have a collection of tubes and other gear that we may likely need to sell on eBay someday, about which I/we will have imperfect knowledge. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't welcome anyone breathing down my neck and trying to trip up my efforts to sell my own things. No sir.
