Howcum there's only one guideline for buyers and sellers have at least twelve? Seems to me that alot of problems could be avoided with a few more for buyers. Is it something the boardies could hash out, or does it have to be mandated from on high? (shrug)

What do you mean? A buyers' only job is to pay for the item in question - that's it.

True dat. When I tried to make all of my buyers send me a tape of themselves reciting the prologue to the Canterbury Tales in Old English, in addition to paying, Arch made me quit.

Whan that aprill with his shoures soote

The droghte of march hath perced to the roote,

And bathed every veyne in swich licour

Of which vertu engendred is the flour;

Whan zephirus eek with his sweete breeth

Inspired hath in every holt and heeth

Tendre croppes, and the yonge sonne

Hath in the ram his halve cours yronne,

And smale foweles maken melodye,

That slepen al the nyght with open ye

(so priketh hem nature in hir corages);

Thanne longen folk to goon on pilgrimages,

And palmeres for to seken straunge strondes,

To ferne halwes, kowthe in sondry londes;

And specially from every shires ende

Of engelond to caunterbury they wende,

The hooly blisful martir for to seke,

That hem hath holpen whan that they were seeke.

Bifil that in that seson on a day,

In southwerk at the tabard as I lay

Redy to wenden on my pilgrymage

To caunterbury with ful devout corage,

At nyght was come into that hostelrye

Wel nyne and twenty in a compaignye,

Of sondry folk, by aventure yfalle

In felaweshipe, and pilgrimes were they alle,

That toward caunterbury wolden ryde.

The chambres and the stables weren wyde,

And wel we weren esed atte beste.

And shortly, whan the sonne was to reste,

So hadde I spoken with hem everichon

That I was of hir felaweshipe anon,

And made forward erly for to ryse,

To take oure wey ther as I yow devyse.

But nathelees, whil I have tyme and space,

Er that I ferther in this tale pace,

Me thynketh it acordaunt to resoun

To telle yow al the condicioun

Of ech of hem, so as it semed me,

And whiche they weren, and of what degree,

And eek in what array that they were inne;

And at a knyght than wol I first bigynne.

One must keep in mind, however, that the CANTERBURY TALES were written not in Old but in Middle English.

 

I almost typed that, but then i was positive that i was confusing it with Middle Earth. I still can do the first 8 lines pretty well.

I will sit back and watch all this go down. :popcorn: I taught English 101 and 102 classes my first year of teaching and felt so insecure (I was trained in mere journalism) that this is bringing back some exhilarating memories. :lol:

Now if we want to rock out to some old school Ubi Sunt poetry or throw a little Bede on, then we go Old School English! :headbang:

Hey all. Just re-read the rules. What forms of payment should we accept if paypal can't be used? Cash?...Western Union (god forbid)?

 

 

Thanks!

 

Paypal can be accepted no problem. It's Paypal personal that can't be solicited as an accepted form of payment in sales threads (thumbs u
