Bullseye? or Bullshit?

[Astralav]

Hi there,

Do you ever heard of Mathmos Bullseye glitter lamp?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MATHMOS-JET-LAVA-LAMP-RARE-BULLSEYE-GLITT...

As the seller is known to sell "unusual"  lamps (home made custom, listed as very rare from factory) I guess this is bullshit, but maybe I'm wrong?

[Erin]

I've always been curious about his lamps, too. I think they are custom, but who knows. I'd say ask questions before purchase, always! 

[Astralav]

I will never contact (or buy from) this seller ever again.

[Erin]

I've heard he can be abrasive. That's all I'll say about that.

I can smell it from here.

Astralav as a name is probably correct, especially the "LAV" bit, means lavatory right ?...WTF do you know about his lamps...ever seen any bought any ?...explain why if this is the case he has over 5000 positives on Ebay ?...I have bought quite a few, and do not have any doubts.

Why snipe, why not contact him yourself ?

Gavin - I highly suggest you don't start 2015 on this type of note.  May be best to log off now and come back to the site when you're in a better mood.  Your posts this morning lead me to think you are looking to pick a fight and create some site drama.  Take it elsewhere.

How would you know what they are/are not if you have never seen them....seems to me that OG has not changed at all....still got the crew who like to slag people off, I do wonder if you still get taken off if you reply to small minded peoples bullshit, especially if they are popular and every ones friend ?

Seems to me that you simply have an over-sized chip on your shoulder.  Erin's response was beyond fair; she speculated that they may be customs, but admitted she was not sure.  She encouraged asking the seller directly.  What exactly is so objectionable about that?!?

OG has been just fine for years now. Seems like you're the problem and looking to start shit. This particular seller has been brought up many times before and the overall sentiment has been "proceed with caution". 

We don't "slag people off", we just have a low tolerance for people who come in here for the purpose of stirring the pot just to create drama. We've been problem-free for years now, so what's your angle here?

And yes, you're right - if your sole purpose is to come in here and just to F with people, yeah, you'll get axed. We don't need that kind of negativity and pointless trolling around here.
