Hey ya'll
I'm just passing this around for what it's worth. I couldn't agree more that GW desperately needs to change their business model. What do you guys think?

Petition for GW to refocus their business model
Reading a message and then taking days to respond is quite rude. I get busy schedules, I have one too; but if you have time to read a message, then you have the 30 seconds it takes to shoot a few sentences off.
Be polite. Respond to read messages in a timely manner.
If you agree to purchase an item from me (I'm not referring to trades), you have 48 hours to make payment through Paypal for that item. If you don't, the item will be up for sale again.
I only ship in the CONUS.

Re: Petition for GW to refocus their business model
I think it's a waste of time. They've never listened to their customers and aren't about to start now.

Lower rating? You ship first.
Give me a sense of humor Lord. Give me the grace to see a joke.
To get some humor out of life and pass it on to other folk.
I think what this situation needs is some imagination.

Want my help with a BTR or backout? All messages sent/posted should be in CHRONOLOGICAL order. Otherwise, I just won't read it.

Re: Petition for GW to refocus their business model
Their new model is to open stores and sell at full price. Buying from the store, supports it and gives you a place to play, with an 'official' voice on premises. [someone who knows? the rules]
[that's from the new GW store in my area.]

"Oh look an online petition, we should listen to this"
Said no company, ever.
The only thing that ever works is voting with your wallets, that's why Family guy came back (DVD's sales were huge) that's why Firefly got a movie, and because people still by GW's stuff, that's why the won't have such a drastic change

Re: Petition for GW to refocus their business model
Unless you and your petitioners are majority shareholders I think that you will wait a long time for a response. It is more than a little entitled of you to think that you as a consumer could change the direction of a private company. If you don't like something, your best vote would be with your wallet.
1. Every PM deserves a timely response.
2. Everyone has a busy life but anyone should be able to respond to a PM within 24 hours.
3. Lowest rating ships or pays first unless specifically otherwise arranged.
4. Lowest rating leaves Reference first.
5. No international deals unless agreed to explicitly in PM.
6. Everything ships with tracking. Items of sufficient value should be insured by the shipper.

If we do nothing, nothing changes. If we do something and nothing changes, than its up to each individual person to walk or stay.

Eh, I figure it's worth the two minutes to sign; even if it ends up doing nothing. I know their policies and how they view their customers, I used to work for them, but something is better than nothing.
