I have a lot of respect for Dan and what he does at BL, to call him a
“crazed dictator” is silly.

Ok, that comment might have been over the top, but from my point of view, so
was Dan’s decision to boot Larry.

...because Dan saw a simple idea which he invested his time and cash in.
Anyone else could have done the same (e.g Todd), but only Dan actually had
the gumption to do it. Bricklink has revolutionised some aspects of this
hobby; for that Dan deserves your thanks - not your contempt!

I’m not debating that BrickLink helped the hobby, I’ve certainly benefited
from it’s presence. As for Thanks, I thanked him every month when I was
selling parts, with a check (and you know they say that money speaks louder
than words) and as a customer, when I buy parts he is getting 3%. However
regardless of what good someone has down, I can still find fault with some of
their actions. In this case, I think a little more conversation between
Dan(Admin) and Larry could have resulted in an amicable solution.

Look at what has happened. The seller deliberately continued to break the ToS!
Given that Dan has a duty to protect buyers; how else could he react? You appear
to be suggesting he should have renegotiated the ToS!?

Hmm. I’m not sure it’s “unique” in that respect. Have you heard of this
website: www.ebay.com? Or even Amazon’s “Marketplace”?
|
Ok, you got me there, there are a few others who have similar business
models, but 99.99% of the businesses out there are using the more traditional
method.
