I’ll bump some of the threads in which it was discussed, so you’ll see the old debates. Ein chodosh tachas haCR.
Bump
It should be noted that use of the term has been debated on the CR for years, with a bunch of posters concerned that someone would be offended, no bunch of posters being offended, and nobody giving a valid reason for anyone to be offended.
It should be noted that I used retarded as a verb, as in “Use preservatives so that spoilage is retarded.”, not to insult the families of disabled people like you always do.
Yes. It’s a davar pashut, and anyone who blames the divorce rate on factors which are prevalent only in communities which (if anything) have a lower divorce rate needs to examine their prejudices.
The so-called chasidishe and very strict hashgochos all rely completely on OU supervision of their ingredients. Their supervision is that they rely on the OU and just make sure that the firm buys only OU ingredients. The OU’s level of supervision is unmatched by the others.
To say they completely rely on the OU is an overstatement. They rely on the OU when a particular product meets their own standards as well.
If it doesn’t, they don’t.
Good line by goq.

So, what is the result of the bidding?
“Sorry you missed out on this item”
Obese
Some over chochmos are kedai from a business standpoint.
Why would it be ono’oh? There’s no definable market value here, even if a bid would seem to represent that there is. It might be g’neivas da’as.
I happen to agree with apushatayid that if this does complete, we should be seeing a YWN article.
I didn’t mean an intentional joke.
What about ONAAH?
It’s not likely to apply here.
He did assume that R’ Wolfson made a comment without knowing the facts. It may not have been said in a disrespectful way, but it is a criticism.
As an aside, Rav Wolfson is not known as a posek (AFAIK; someone can correct me if I’m wrong), and I would understand his objection to online sales on Shabbos to be more along the lines of hashkafah than halachah.
I didn’t say he was disrespectful.
I think what is being overlooked by both ZD and DY is that eBay always intervenes in situations in which sellers wish to cancel for reasons that were never specified in the auction description.
I’m referring to a fake buyer cancelling, not the seller cancelling.
I personally would not go that route if this were my auction – to me that’s being an oiber-chochom.
I wouldn’t because it’s not erlich, but if there are zero bids, it looks line a joke; showing a bid makes it look more real.
DaasYochid if you let me into your house only as long as I do not make legal agreements with anyone and while I am there I enter into a legal agreement with someone does that make that legal agreement invalid? Only the law can affect the validity of contracts made between two parties, no matter what platform was used, legitimately or illegitimately.
Poor analogy. By listing on eBay, you have entered into a contract to follow their rules for this transaction, not for some side transaction off of the site.
Firstly, you said that it would not complete. So my question is what will you say if you end up being wrong.
No, I didn’t. Apushatayid did. We are both skeptical about this, but for different reasons.
I don’t think someone outbidding is a risk, I think it’s the desired outcome. The siyum will be made, and they’ll net about $8k.
I just don’t know if the current bid is legit.
Firstly, eBay’s rules cannot amend or change any direct legal contractual agreements between two parties.
That makes no sense. EBay’s rules precluded that contract from being effective.
What will you say if the auction does complete tomorrow?
I would not know if it was legit, or if the “buyer” and seller will agree to back out, with no negative consequences for trying to get someone to outbid the “buyer”.
Thanks, ZD.
I didn’t think so.
ZD, what happens if a buyer asks to be released from his commitment and the seller agrees? Do either of them suffer any consequences?
I feel like a lot of kids would be embarrassed to just sit there waiting for someone to talk to them.
I agree, and I think it would be true in yeshivos as well. I can’t imagine a bigger reason to consider a kid a “neb” than his sitting on a “friendship bench”.
I agree, I’m saying the other option might not only be unprofitable, but also problematic l’halacha.
How would anyone know who the person with this screen name is? And if someone did, they would probably know that he’s selling the sponsorship (or will when the siyum happens).
I don’t know for a fact that this poster is the father, I merely asked the question. If he is, I think there’s a lack of integrity here. Although to be fair, he could have outright lied and said it’s not him.
Actually eBay themselves say the opposite – from their site,
“Many problems are misunderstandings that can be worked out when members talk to one another. The first thing we recommend is for the buyer and seller to communicate…
If you aren’t able to work things out after communicating with your buyer or seller, you can contact us.”
It seems they say if you can’t work it out, they should arbitrate, not a beis din. OTOH, maybe agreeing in advance to a specific arbitrator would be considered communication and working it out…
Firstly eBay accepts the right of a buyer to cancel – there’s just the issue of potential negative feedback and potential legal consequences of breach of contract which here would not apply due to the terms explicitly excluding anyone other than Jews and secondly the seller would almost certainly win in a Beis Din in demanding that the buyer cancel his bid.
I think it’s unlikely that eBay would be okay with discrimination as long as it’s spelled out in advance. It would also be unlikely for someone who’s not a frum Yid to accept a psak from a beis din.
Nobody is anonymous to people who know them…
Unless you mean that they will know that he opened an account on the CR to plug his eBay solicitation pretending to be an uninvolved person. I can live with that.
I would think based on this psak give all the profit made from the sales on Shabbos to tzedakah. This way you won’t have to worry whether you can sent items in to FBA or not.
You can’t extrapolate that it’s okay to do something l’chatchilah from a psak of what to do b’dieved.
How does anonymity change if he would say he’s the father?
If you’re not, I don’t know why you can’t just come out and say, “I’m not the father”.
That’s not really a denial, you know.
It’s actually in the rules:

Yes, and it is intuitively correct even without any ironclad statistics (which are impossible to get anyhow).
BenBagBag, you aren’t by any chance the father, are you?
Did you put a link in? The mods generally do not allow links.
Also, FuturePOTUS is right.
It says the highest bidder is l***d. I wonder if it’s lilmod ulelamaid.
You get 100 eBay bucks if you buy it.
So sorry for your losses.
He got kicked out of the WhatsApp group for having a smartphone?
What did you do wrong?
That was the one in which you admitted it. There are a bunch more which are also pretty obvious, though.
However, there is a very simple proof that it’s a joke – the fact that it makes no sense.
He could have been drunk when he started it. It wouldn’t be the only time.
There no single answer for every gadol.
You originally said it was your brother. I guess that wasn’t true.
DY – I understand where you are coming from. The thing is that you don’t know the context in which my comments are made and you have no way of knowing the context.
Didn’t you just say that words have meaning? We can only read words in the context you put them, and they have the meaning they are supposed to in that context. So claiming I don’t understand what you meant because I don’t know the context is the same as someone claiming you misunderstood their intention. Your response, that the words have meaning on their own, should apply here as well.
I’m not c”v trying to attack, just to let you know how your post(s) come(s) across.
