A messge to eBay user YABEMC

Mr. Woo · #1 10-02-2008, 04:11 AM

This is the second Jack Skellington I've made because I am trying to perfect my take on him. I sound defensive because I feel defensive. I received a private message from an eBay user less than 3 hours after I posted it on eBay. critiquing my customization choices with this figure. He did so independently and unnecessarily. If I post it on a forum and ask for your opinion that's different but I didn't. You sought me out and forced your opinion on me. if you are eBay user yabemc, then that message is for you. I am pretty sure you belong to this forum because I think Ive seen your work posted on here, and I'm pretty sure no one on here told YOU what to make and what not to make.

His Message: Q: Another Jack? Make him with an interchangeable head that has a different facial expression or something. There's nothing wrong with doing repeat characters, just add your own style to it that makes it yours.

I don't care if a lot of people made Jack Skellington Muggs. That does not mean I worked any less hard or put any less thought into mine. And that should be respected.

Well here's the nice thing with doing repeat characters. The last Jack that sold had something like 36 bids so that means that 35 other people still really want that Jack Mugg. And that was my exact thought last night when I looked at its completed listing and decided that I too am gonna make a Jack

Go for it my friend! He looks great

Thank you very much My Friend. Did you get my PM?

Oh and here is his most recent eBay message to me.

Let me just correct you on something, I am free to message anyone I want, whether it be ebay or the forums. In case you didn't know it isn't against the law to contact someone through ebay in regards to an item. If I said it looked freakin awesome you wouldn't have popped a vessel in your eye over this.

I just want him to mind his own business. I'm tired of this.

Yabemc does lurk here, but he hasn't posted.

Your best bet if he pms you is to just ignore it. Don't feed the fire.

Yeah his user name here is Matthew Cabrera. He has never posted but he does send PMs, i received a PM from him just because I mentioned one of his muggs not "original". He also wanted me to check out his other muggs on ebay and make a comment about it here. Like I have to be forced to comment about his customs. I will voice out my own comment when i feel like it. He should just grow up and mind his own business. People can make what they want when they want. Da Vinci didn't critique Michelangelo what to paint and what not to paint during their time, why should anyone else. Just my 2 cents... Thanks
