- Mr. Tomlinson's feud started after members of the now-defunct Reddit site r/opieandanthony got his Twitter account suspended, causing him to threaten some bored trolls who never heard of him with a libel lawsuit. The trolls responded predictably.
- Mr. Tomlinson has been instructed many times by friends, family, police, and attorneys to stop engaging with his trolls, and that continuing to provoke them will cause him to be trolled even more. Mr. Tomlinson wilfully ignores this advice.
- He would eventually file a defamation suit against 60 anonymous people which was dismissed with Mr. Tomlinson being ordered to pay $34,762.25 for opposing parties' attorney fees.
- He ended up paying $83,736.99 due to his unsuccessful attempts to dodge the court-ordered judgement, for which he faced jail time and contempt charges.
- He also filed 2 frivolous restraining orders against people who had engaged in First Amendment-protected behavior (one for texting him and another for attending his contempt of court hearing), both of which were dismissed.
- Early on in the lawsuit, Mr. Tomlinson vandalized his own motorcycle and submitted a false police report blaming the people he was suing.
- He accidentally sent surveillance video of the alleged vandal to a troll. The individual in the video is very obviously Patrick S. Tomlinson.
- Mr. Tomlinson has never submitted this video footage during any of his many media tours, and desperately tries to scrub it from the internet.
- Mr. Tomlinson claims that the surveillance video was initiated by his "motion-activated" camera, which only collects "30 seconds at a time", despite the video being 32 seconds long and beginning several seconds before the "vandal" enters into the frame.
- On 13 April 2023, the individual responsible for calling the fake emergences (SWATs) to Mr. Tomlinson's house, a SWAT-for-hire dealer named "Torswats", revealed that Mr. Tomlinson ordered the SWATs to his own house because he wanted to get in the news and sue the MPD for money.
- Torswats would repeat these allegations in private chats which were not intended for public view.
- Mr. Tomlinson has gone on multiple news tours since the SWATtings started in order to promote his victimhood brand, utilizing the services of Lenora Claire.
- He also recently sued the MPD for money.
WWAWD Not Selling To Certain People?

It's because they think that they are smarter than everyone else, so they hope they can get it cheap enough to flip themselves. I hate that shit.
I have mentioned before that I used to own a toy and collectibles store. Shit, that's kinda my passion, and I still hit up garage sales, estate sales and thrift shops looking for shit because you never know what you might find. I can't tell you how many of those people out there I see, scanning books, vinyl or DVDs to see how much they go for, or haggling over dogshit toys (like 90s Spawn).
They watched reality shows and think that they can get rich quick. But they have zero knowledge or passion, so they have no idea what they are looking at, looking for or what's valuable. They all think that vintage = valuable, conveniently forgetting the "demand" part of the "supply and demand" equation. You should be able to scan a shelf of books and instinctively know based on genre, author etc which ones might be worth it. If you have to scan each title then just get the fuck out of the way.
Have you heard of Mid Mod Money?
Invalid advice, you have a dog in this fight
I can't say that I have. What is that, bruthaman?
OP I support you 100%. The minute someone says anything like that to me on marketplace I either ignore them or tell them flat out I’m not going to sell to them now. It’s fun to do the latter, they usually sperg out. Fuck em, this isn’t a street bazaar, I’m not here to haggle. Make me a reasonable first offer or gtfo
I haven't seen much of the dudes actual show, but he comes on the World Record Podcast every once in awhile for a segment where he shows off some of his recent findings from yard sales/goodwills/thrift shops/swap meets/etc and knows a ton about the shit you mentioned but also seemingly innocuous stuff like lamps and crocheted stuff and paintings and such. Sometimes he'll do a give away on the show.
