I Hate Palmers!

Why, you ask? What did they ever do to me?

Well... nothing I suppose.

It's just that I got stiffed by someone on Ebay. Don't worry-- no one in this group. Basically just an Ebay scam artist.

Got taken for 100 bucks and never got my toys.

It's ruined Palmers for me. Every time I see them, I get a mixed feeling of disgust and anger. And then I am mad I was even contemplating spending 100 dollars on the monster equivalent of little green army men. But at least if I had them, it would be a consolation. Instead, I am out a hundred bucks, and all I have is a handful of air.

I would like to say I could get over this, but I hold grudges for a looooong time. I am petty. I admit. It makes me sad. I will probably never like Palmers now.

On the plus side, it could have been a Marx Robot Frankie.

Stupid Palmers.....

Aw, man!  You can't be a Palmah-haydah just because of one bad experience!  It's not the Palmer's fault.  The Palmers are innocent, crude and primal...one of the classic 60's monster toys.  And they love ALL monster collectors!  What you need is a good Palmer experience to make you feel better. ;)

what palmers are you looking for. I think I may have some I want to part with. They would cost you nothing. Pics of Palmers please. If they are what I think they are I have never been very fond of mine and will part with them.

Matt,
         Nothing petty about being out a hundred bucks...you should be rightfully pissed, but at the seller and NOT the toys. You and the Palmers were the victims here, I hope you filed whatever charges against the crooked seller that you could. Weasels like this ruin ebay for buyers. You should pass along his ID to all in this group so we can be on alert, if only to write to him during his auctions to say, "Nice item you have there, but I know too much about your past dealings to trust you with my bid".

What's the Creature holding, a Subway sandwich?

One caveman has himself a Big Mac, and he's mighty happy. The other caveman appears to have a drumstick from KFC.

Maybe you should get a set of Palmers and embarrass them with a really weird paintjob:



This would let the little critters know who's really in charge!

I got ripped off on carded Spooky Kooky jigglers last spring.  Lost $40.  I bought five from an ebay dealer and, after some hair pulling, actually received three.  He just pocketed the rest of my money.  His seller name was something like "unusualtoys."  His ebay account has since been deactivated, but he might resurface under a different name.  He was the only guy who had quantities of those carded Spookies in the $20 range.

matt,
Don't get mad. Get even.  use whatever resources Ebay has to get this clown and that maens the cops too.  In Pennsylvania its considered a computer crime if someone rips you off on Ebay so the penalty is pretty high.  Make him as miserable as he amde you!!

I love Palmers.



Ah... see... now all I can do is imagine them with my 100 bucks... each one of them holding $3.12 apiece.

And mocking me.

All the time-- mocking!

But I shall have the last laugh! Yes-- mark my words... I shall laugh last

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! (BTW-- that did not constitute me laughing last. That will come later. Just so we're clear)
