Ask a guy whose girlfriend just sold my $1,800 leaf from a 14th century manuscript at our garage sale for $10 anything
Yes, I am dead inside, next question. No, I will never trust a woman with sorting out which antiques are okay to sell and which aren't again, next question.
pic related is not the leaf in question
>>1067530
This is entirely your fault for not taking proper care of valuable artifacts. You are a moron and should be ashamed
Why didn't you keep it in a safe?
>>1067535
It was literally framed, with an engraving underneath the leaf stating "ILLUMINATION FROM BOOK OF HOURS, 14th CENTURY GERMANY OR ITALY"
>>1067530
Did you dump her?
Entirely your fault for being heterosexual trash.
>>1067545
We are getting ready to move (hence the garage sale), it was in a box with an assortment of other antique books and stuff.
I told her to go through the box labeled OLD BOOKS FOR GARAGE SALE and put them out there for like $10-$20 a piece (they're mostly old books that aren't worth anything but are cool nonetheless)
I told her NOT to put out any of the books in the box titled ANTIQUE BOOKS, which consist mostly of stuff worth anywhere from $200-$2,000 a piece.
A
FUCKING
LEAF
>>1067546
If you failed to make its value clear or keep it separate from other stuff to be sold you are a moron
>>1067550
I have not spoken to her since this afternoon when it happened. I'm so fucking furious I'm not sure what I'll do. For a while I tried frantically searching for a way to find the guy she sold it to and buy it back from him, but I've had no luck.
It was one of my prized fucking possessions. I have antique stuff worth way more than it, but it was among my favorite because I fucking love manuscripts and I'm not rich enough to ever afford a complete one.
>>1067575
Are you really white knighting my stupid fucking girlfriend?
I told her clearly to take books from the "old books FOR GARAGE SALE" box, which was by the front door with some other boxes of stuff to be sold at the garage sale.
I told her NOT to take from the "antique books" box, which was in my private study, nowhere near anything that was to be sold. I don't even know why she was in there.
It would be more understandable if she just mixed up the boxes, but she sold stuff from BOTH the boxes, meaning that she just didn't listen to a fucking word I said.
I guess I should count myself lucky that the only things that got sold from the antique box was an old book on physics from the late 19th century and the manuscript leaf. I've got a 19th century book on maritime navigation in it that she had put out for $10 despite it being worth about $2500. That's how I knew she fucked up when I came home and saw that shit on the garage sale table.
>>1067578
Does she understand what she did on her own or is she going on about "some stupid piece of paper"?
>>1067593
>>1067575
And to top it all off, after I fucking yelled at her about it, she didn't even apologize. Rather she just tried doing what every woman does when confronted with their mistakes: she tried turning it around and blaming me for it somehow, because "I wasn't there to help" despite the fact that I was fucking at work.
>>1067595
She kind of understands. She's tried coming in and apologizing since the initial fight after it happened, but right afterwards, she just tried defending herself by saying that it was my fault for not being there and that, yes, it's "JUST A PIECE OF PAPER"
>>1067593
>I've got a 19th century book on maritime navigation in it that she had put out for $10 despite it being worth about $2500
What a dumb bitch....Also I would like to read that.
Murder her. This is the only reasonable course of action.
>>1067599
You could sue her actually.
>>1067599
>yes, it's "JUST A PIECE OF PAPER"
Aaaaaand that's when you break up.
>>1067599
You should take her to court and show her how important pieces of paper can be.
>>1067607
Thought about it. I've got an antique cavalry sabre that I could use, I'm thinking about killing her with it and shouting "ITS JUST A PIECE OF METAL" while doing it
>>1067610
While I am furious at her, we've been together for 3 years and I'm reluctant to fuck her over that bad just yet. If she makes no attempt at fixing the situation, I'll probably dump her and take her to court to pay for the shit.
>>1067596
I'm sure you've heard the phrase "if you want something done right, do it yourself." Quit blaming your girlfriend for your inability to take responsibility for your items.
>>1067599
>involved with someone that can't into the value historical artifacts or empathy
She's a waste of your time and semen. Jared her.

Would that be before or after she takes you to court for threatening to kill her?
I hope you gave her a good beating at least.
>>1067615
kek. She came in about half an hour ago crying a little bit and asking if I was still mad. I'm at my desk, I didn't respond and I just waited for her to leave. She sobbed a little bit and asked "are all your books and old shit really more important than me, anon? The person you love?"
I wanted to chuck something at her and tell her yes but I refrained.
>>1067530
Break up with her, she is clearly a retard.
>>1067619
Never trust women, they don't understand basic concepts that men do.
They don't see value in items, they see money and price. If she could have sold it for more she would have.
>>1067619
You should ruin her life as much as possible, within legal means of course.
>>1067620
Again, white knighting someone you don't even know. I made it completely idiot proof to confuse the two boxes. One was in a room with the rest of the stuff to be sold, clearly titled so. The other was in my private study, which I told her to stay out of.
I couldn't be there to set up the garage sale because I was in a meeting with my employer.
>>1067599
>coming in and apologizing
Bitch owes you $1,800 not an apology. You should get it appraised in absentia and take the low ball estimate if you still care about her. Just know it's normal for ANY woman to try and shift responsibility, it's in their wiring. It doesn't necessarily mean she's a ditzy cunt that doesn't give a shit but she very well could be. Any woman will try and weasel her way out of it somehow just be clear with her and explain the situation and specifically that the "piece of paper", while a piece of paper it may very well be, was worth at the very least a grand and was exceedingly rare too.
Don't lose your cool and explore your options.
If you care about her seek a way to resolve the issue peacefully, ask she pay you back half of what you think it's worth after you explain to her exactly what it is she did and why it is undoubtedly her fault. If you're done with her and have documentation of the pieces existence and your past ownership of it seek appraisal and a legal resolution.
Whatever you do however do not let this go or she'll make you her bitch.
>>1067628
>"are all your books and old shit really more important than me, anon? The person you love?"
I recognize this maneuver, it's a dangerous and effective way to shift the guilt onto you. Good thing you didn't fall for it.
>>1067637
I literally dont care how retarded the girl is, OP is a moron for allowing her anywhere near that leaf
>>1067619
Jesus Christ just ask her for the money back and if she doesn't give it to you dump her and take her to court.
Don't burn bridges in an easily mendable situation.
>>1067624
Oh man that felt really good to read. Am I a terrible person?
>>1067654
He didn't though. She got to it while he wasn't there and against his explicit instructions.
>>1067648
The thing is even if I get back the $1800 I won't ever get a piece like it again, I believe it was worth substantially more.
I purchased it for $1,800, but when I had it appraised it was valued at about $3,000, give or take a few. I had purchased it from an antique bookstore in Tennessee, but the owner clearly wasn't experienced in manuscripts, and had it listed for $2000. So I took a shot in the dark and told him I'd pay $1,800 in cash and he took the offer.
So $1,800 won't even come near getting me another specimen like it. Shit I don't even care if it was only $20. It was my favorite. It even had a little doodle of a stag being hunted at the bottom of the page by the illuminator.
>>1067637
OP is the retard, in more ways than one.
>>1067654
My fucking dog knows not to enter rooms when I tell it not to and this woman can't? OP said the box was in an entirely different room with nothing intended for sale!
This is like blaming OP for his girlfriend shooting herself if he tells her where his pistol is in case of emergency and the combination to the lock.
>>1067639
>allowing anyone else access to your rare and valuable items
Still your fault, bro. Don't let other people have access to your stuff, especially if you're having yard sales.
>>1067667
>more ways than one
Yeah, the girlfriend and you two.
>>1067667
Fucking how?
If I tell you to take the trash out, do you go into the kitchen, grab all the fine china, and smash it on the ground? Does that help you realize how retarded it is to go into a room that I said not to go into, take things from a box I said not to take things from, and sell them?
>>1067656
No. Jared's tale is a modern day chanson de geste.
>>1067676
>Just don't mess with anything in my study babe. Remember, all the stuff that I'm selling is by the door in the boxes with the red tape on them
My exact words before leaving.
You guys keep saying "leaf." I'm just trying to figure out how a leaf would fit in a box. OP, how did you just sell a leaf at a garage sale? Out in the open like that.
A fucking leaf!
>>1067690
dude what
>>1067665
>I had it appraised
Ok, well then she's done. You can get the 3 grand easily if this goes to court. I'm sure she's chatting up her mother/family/friends about this as I type this out so if she tries to deny it later it'll bite her in the ass when you request chat log court transcripts.
You can proceed down the legal route at your leisure.
However:
>>1067628
She seems to be desperate and reaching at whatever she can, she's likely legitimately remorseful. Maybe asking her "well what do you intend to do to fix this" or something along those lines might be warranted. If nothing else you can determine whether or not she actually understands wtf is going on.
>>1067689
Clearly its her fault.
Obviously dont let it go, eventually if you bring it up enough and get angry enough shell feel bad, and maybe actually try and make up for it in some way.
Whatever you do, dont try and make her pay for it, thats I really dumb idea and youll never talk to her again if you do that.
>>1067682
For not keeping something valuable in a more secure location than "in a box in my office," for one, especially if someone is going around the house and picking stuff out for yard sales. And given the way he talks about the girlfriend (like y'know, picking out a specific way he'd like to kill her) I would hazard a guess that we aren't being told the full story, anyway.
>>1067710
>You can get the 3 grand easily
Hell if he cites sentimental value he can get 5 or more if he gets a competent lawyer.
>>1067530
How about you just sue her for emotional damages caused by selling your antiques.
It's pretty clear that not only does she not LISTEN to you, she clearly has ZERO RESPECT for you or your stuff.
Breaking up is the easiest way to make the message clear, but the lawsuit will also make it even more clear.
Personally, I'd also sell all her beloved things too, but that's just being petty.
>>1067713
>Whatever you do, dont try and make her pay for it, thats I really dumb idea and youll never talk to her again if you do that.
Agreed. Only do this if you don't give a shit anymore. Women cannot stand that kind of shit.

I'm going to just sleep at my desk in the study tonight. I'll talk to her tomorrow about it when we've both calmed down.
I'm going to try to make her understand that what she did was the equivalent of wrecking our car. Maybe then she'll understand the gravity of the situation and try to help. Either help me recover it, or give me recompense.
>>1067730
Let me be a big man on the internet Anonymous. Why does anonymous always have to ruin everything?
>>1067713

You're saying that like it's a bad thing.
You're gonna see this thing appraised on the Antiques Roadshow for 10,000 dollars in 20 years and break your television.
Adjusted for inflation.
>>1067730
He got it professionally appraised and I assume properly documented. What's being missed?
>>1067716
I'm clearly joking about killing her, you white knighting fag.
If you read the thread, you'd know that it was in a box because we're preparing to move, and I was preparing to relocate the books to a better location until we completed the move.
>>1067742
I thought they cancelled that
>>1067748
I sincerely hope not.
>>1067743
>What's being missed?
an actual lawyer
It must be cool being so rich.
If it were me, she'd already be dead. Unironically. That's a lot of money. More than someone who is that stupid is worth.
>>1067710
You won't be able to get the appraisal value in a courtroom, no. You can get what you paid for it and that's it. And that's assuming you don't live in a state which applies marital property laws to romantic co-habitation regardless of whether you're married or not.
>>1067754
So you have no idea and are trying to start an argument on legality because someone pointed out something obvious.
>>1067742
>tfw they'll crack jokes about the "idiots they bought it off of"
>tfw the appraiser will say "I'm sure that man is having an unhappy day if he's watching this."
>>1067760
no I have a very good idea. Which is why I think all the "legal advice" being given is so hilarious.
>>1067747
>I'm clearly joking about killing her, you white knighting fag.
So angry! I bet these anger issues translate into real life, too. Does your girlfriend know you threatened to kill her?
I did read the thread. It doesn't matter why it's in a box. If it's that valuable, keep it somewhere safer.
>>1067758
>You won't be able to get the appraisal value in a courtroom, no.
Why not?
>>1067767
Not OP.
Jesus, you are an insufferable cunt. She fucked up, not him.

You fell for the sharing anything with any woman ever meme and you paid for it.
>>1067723
>How about you just sue her for emotional damages caused by selling your antiques.
oh god stop
>>1067767
So should I keep it in the safe 24/7 (despite it being framed and intended for display), and then when I'm ready to move, magically teleport it to the new house?
Idiot. I had literally just put it in there today, and it was to be moved tomorrow. My girlfriend isn't going to fuck you for standing up for her on a mongolian moving pictures forum, faggot.
>>>/leddit/
>>1067767
Not him but it's nice that you equate his girlfriend pretty much to a child or a dumb animal that just can't help itself.
If women really can be completely absolved of any responsibility then they shouldn't be granted any rights.
>>1067776
Sauce on that semen demon?
>>1067769
In this situation, what matters is how much he paid for it in the first place.
>>1067778
Or you could take care of your things like a fucking adult instead of carelessly disposing of them then crying on 4chan when the obvious happens.
>>1067783
Why? It was worth more.
>>1067778
So no, she doesn't know you threatened to kill her. Maybe you should show her your comments about her on this thread.
>>1067782
BEATORICHE
>>1067787
Because that's the legal precedent.
Nigger just sue her and force the guy she sold it to to return the thing.
Depending on what state you're in, that's community property and you can't take her to court.
>>1067789
Jesus Christ there's like no porn of her, what the shit?
>he has a study
Why the hell do you let her into your study?
If you hadn't let her in there she would have never picked up the damned thing.

I am asking how one fits a Canadian in a box.
>>1067805
holy shit /his/ is such a fucking goldmine for unintentional comedy.
Question: Were are you going to hide your girlfriends body?
>>1067802
You should have a safe to store your genuinely valuable items when they're not on display.
>>1067811
Again, read the damn thread. I expressly told her not to go into it, and I was at a meeting with my employer. I made the mistake of thinking that my girlfriend was smart enough to understand English but apparently she doesn't know the meaning of "don't".
I'd be pretty pissed too. People are usually good-natured if you track them down. My mom sold a Nero coin of mine while I was away in college but I tracked down the guy. That would be part one of resolving this issue. Do you have any leads? Have you checked Craigslist? Does she remember what he looked like?
Part 2 is making the choice of dumping her or forgiveness. See how okay you are if you get it back.
If you don't get it back, you're most likely not ever going to be happy with her again unless you think that you'll put a ring on it someday in the future. Either way though, do this part second, after you find it/give up.
>>1067819
Problem? It's the truth. There are states where judges have ruled that couples' property becomes community property, even if they're not married. Sorry that it makes your justice boner for OP deflate but that's your own issue.
>>1067823
I do have a safe.I wasn't going to leave shit in there while it's transported so they can bang around and get all fucked up, idiot.
You're going to any length you can to avoid having to admit that a woman fucked up. She's not going to fuck you for being a retard and defending her over the internet, buddy. The cuck is strong with you.
>>1067826
No, she shouldn't EVER be allowed in.
What purpose could her presence possibly serve?
>have valuable books in a box
>next to books to be sold
>tell gf who doesn't know the values of things to sell books
>gf sells books
>beg for pity on 4chan
>>1067826
why don't you have your study locked, if you keep such valuable things in it?
It's a yard sale, right? How big of a neighborhood are we talking? Maybe she knows who she sold it to, or at least has a faint idea.
>>1067839
>I do have a safe.I wasn't going to leave shit in there while it's transported so they can bang around and get all fucked up, idiot.
Oh, are you incapable of wrapping your items up and packing them into the safe? What's wrong? Spend $1,800 on a page but can't afford $12 worth of packing materials?
>>1067827
We're going to talk about it tomorrow more. I'm hoping to God that I can track the guy down, and that if I do, hopefully he's not a scholar or anyone halfway educated and doesn't know what a fucking deal he just got.
>>1067843
Good point, he should just ask the person who bought it to return it since it's actually worth $3000.
>>1067827
This, but don't tell him it's worth 1800.
Offer him 50 for it, and if he's a dick be prepared to pay 500. For real. Start too high and you'll clue him in on how it's really valuable.
>>1067815
Bro he's talking about an engraved leaf from a tree not a friendly hockey player
>>1067844
Are you actually retarded or just pretending?
>>1067841
Read the thread, dumbass.
The box of books to be sold was next to the front door, labeled "BOOKS FOR GARAGE SALE."
The books NOT to be sold were in my study, on the other side of the house, a room which I told her not to go into, and was labeled "ANTIQUE BOOKS."
>>1067842
I was gone for a grand total of two hours. I don't keep my study locked 24/7 or some shit, and I used to trust her not to snoop through shit and fuck things up.
>>1067845
Yeah he's probably some dumb redneck who bought an illuminated leaf from a 14th century manuscript because, hey, that's just what uneducated people do.
>>1067841
REEEEEEEE

>>1067853
I think he's one of those /pol/ Katze
It was just banter, op.
>>1067851
You sure? I'm almost positive OP is talking about selling a Canadian midget.
>>1067858
Or a teen nerd who thought it was cool
Maybe he taped it up to his wall like a poster
>>1067858
Shit. I just remembered that it literally says that it's from the 14th century on the front of the fucking frame.
I'm fucked. It's already in a fucking pawn shop somewhere or in an auction house.
>>1067857
>I don't keep my study locked 24/7 or some shit
Then don't keep valuable items in there. Especially in a box marked BOOKS, when you told her to sell BOOKS.
Basically you knew better than to trust your gf with this shit and you are paying the price. Next time don't be dumb.

Why do you white knights think women are literally braindead and can't use critical thinking? I told her three things:
>Sell the books from the box labeled "OLD BOOKS FOR GARAGE SALE," which was located by the front door with the rest of the boxes I had prepared for the sale (which had red tape to differentiate them from the boxes which were NOT for the garage sale, which had blue)
>DON'T sell the books in the box labeled "ANTIQUE BOOKS"
>DON'T enter my study while I'm gone, which is where said box was located
It was literally retard-proof and she still fucked it up.
>cohabitation with a living meme

Its only YOUR girlfriend I think is braindead, and mainly because she was going out with you and wanted to relate

Well the evidence does seem damning desu.
>>1067889

Why would you think it had to be vellum? Do you not know anything about the history of paper and bookmaking or something?
>>1068019
>>1068022
It's more likely to be vellum or parchment' papermaking came to Europe in the 14th century, but didn't really replace skin-based books until the 15th.
>>1068041
Papermaking came to Europe earlier than the 14th century, and more likely to be vellum is a far cry from surely.
Are you a feminist, OP?
why are people blaming OP for this when it's clearly his gf's fault?
>>1068265
Not being stoic enough?
>>1067593
Nobody is white knighting for your girlfriend. Women are retarded by nature and shouldn't be trusted with important issues. It's your own fault.
>>1067593
You know, maybe people just think you are a retarded faggot without caring about your girlfriend.
I don't understand what it is with women when it comes to "old things", as they put it.
A few years ago I had a vintage Adler and original IBM PC with monochrome screen, both in pristine condition, that my father had passed down to me. Before I left for college, I packed them and put them in boxes labeled "Very Valuable".
I come home from my first semester away, and the house is looking cleaner than usual.
"Yes Anon, we're actually thinking about selling it, so we cleaned it out for showing."
I go up to my room and check my closet, it's completely empty. Check the attic, it's almost empty as well.
"Mom, where did you put that box labeled 'Very Valuable' in my closet?"
"Oh, I gave it to the local homeless shelter, it was cluttering up your closet."
>"Cluttering up your closet"
>The closet is not for excess clutter
What in the hell are homeless people going to do with an obsolete computer and typewriter? They probably threw it out or sold it.

Lets sort this out real quick
>DO
Tell her what it was apraised at and ask her what she is going to do to remedy the situation. You over-reacted in the heat of passion but don't apologize until you get an answer out of her
Break up with that cunt if she doesn't offer you some kind of monetary compensation

Good luck OP, you dumb as shit tho
>>1067889
>Why do you white knights think women are literally braindead and can't use critical thinking?
Because they are you fucking idiot
It's because of this that your leaf got sold moron.
>>1067849
Or just tell them it wasn't supposed to be for sale and his girlfriend did it by accident
But OP is dumber than her so he won't do this
Honestly this is what I don't understand. OP is living with this girl, so they should be pretty close. OP is willing to spend thousands of dollars on manuscripts from the 14th century, so clearly history is pretty important to him.
How does this girl not understand the significance of these manuscripts? Surely OP has discussed his passion with his girlfriend/friends/family a bit? What these documents represent? Why they are so significant?
OP sounds autistic or his relationship is fake. I know that it's not his fault that his girlfriend is an idiot, but it is his fault that they are living together and his most prized possessions are "just a piece of paper" to the girl. If there relationship was anything meaningful than she would know better.
If it were my girlfriend she would have known who wrote the manuscript, what it was about, and why I love it so much; not just my exes, but my roommates/siblings/parents/everyone. Shame on the OP for not spreading his love of history.
>>1068968
OP is probably making this up, the entire thing reads like a /r9k/ post.
But what actually enrages me the most is the fact there are people ITT cucked enough to say he should apologize or "don't ask her to pay for it otherwise she'll leave you" retards. Maximum cringe.

It was probably a fake if she thought it was only worth $10.
>>1068968
Following up to this. Honestly I would whip those $1800 manuscripts out on the third date. I'd look so cultured and hip, the any girl would be immediately dtf.
The only way I can show off how cultured and elite I am is with thrift store books and flags. I'm jelly. You better not dump this girl OP because you'll never get anyone to sleep with you again.
>>1068983
> just pay me 2000$ for... a... very historically important... paper that you sold out
Well... There is close to zero probability for that glorious plan to work out anyway.
>>1068997
Then he should sue her ass. She had no legal right to sell his shit, they're not even married.
This is entirely your fault for having the object with "garage sale" items, and for not ensuring she already knew such a thing was expensive; surely you couldnt expect your average woman to understand it had any value
>>1067530
where can you even buy something like this? auctions?
>>1067530
> No, I will never trust a woman with sorting out which antiques are okay to sell and which aren't again, next question.
Entirely your fault. Entirely. If you were entrusting her to sort through your things, which she only has superficial knowledge of, and there were things you wanted to keep, you should have at least had her run things by you before selling the stuff.
This isn't white knighting, this is just you needing to take take ultimate responsibility when you delegate tasks. If she was the one who proposed it and chose to do it, yes it would be her fault. Any reasonable boss knows this, you delegate tasks, either you pick someone you trust to carry things out properly, or you make sure it is done properly.

How can you be this sane & rational but literally not give two fucks about grammar?

Come on now man.

>implying she didn't get someone to "buy" it so she can sell it on her own later
Your first mistake was getting involved with this """woman""". Your second is staying with her.
>>1069078
lol I'm baked as fuck, grammar is the first thing out the window
>>1069257
Fair enough.
>>1067596
Well, OP, you're pulling our leg or you're dating a retard. Either way, no sympathy. Dope that you have a private study though.

>>1069033
I bought something similar for like $10 at a garage sale just recently. Don't know where this faggot gets off claiming it's worth two grand.
>>1067575
He did both you stupid cunt.
>>1069433
Then why didn't he mention it in the OP? He claimed he let her sort the stuff. Only after people called him a retard did he claim he sorted the stuff first and just told her to put out the pre-sorted stuff. This is a pathetic pity-me thread.
>>1069010

Either she is a literal idiot, or she knew exactly what she was doing. So which is it? You know her.
>>1070211
Literal idiot. She has no interest in history or anything intellectual. She's literally just a walking pair of tits and ass, I'm fairly certain her head is hollow. I'm dating her because she's nice despite being mentally retarded.
>>1067530
Kill her, anon. It's the only way. Bash her head in to ensure that her retarded genes don't live on.
You will find a new cocksocket. Kill her.
Kill her.

Why, anon's a pretty large failure at stoicism.
Kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her kill her

How do you date someone like that? I can make it like 3 months and then I can't stand it anymore.

Why the fuck are you keeping valuable antiques in a cardboard box?
All I'm saying is my gf better be giving historic level blowjobs for selling my shit like that. I feel your pain OP my rare books are my few valued possessions
just don't get all resentful and vengeful over this OP
either get her to make it up to you or break up with her
don't stay in a poisoned relationship
Kick her out of your house. Murder her. Beat her to a bloody fucking pulp.
>>1067624
Fake and gay
>>1069436
Right? Isn't it funny how he only started adding the details of "uh, uh, I specifically told her this!! I swear!!!" after people called him out for being an idiot. OP says he let her sort his antiques, then he backpedaled and tried to claim they were pre-sorted and in totally opposite areas of the house. Riiiight.
>white knights everywhere
Since when has this site been such a cuck hugbox?
>>1067530
You should've never given her the privilege of even touching your books. Women shouldn't be let near such valuable items.
Never trust a woman OP. They are uncultured filth who are only good for satisfying your primal urges from time to time.
Shouldn't these things be in museums or archives or something?
>>1070351
>this victim complex
Call everyone else a cuck because you failed hard, that will make everything better
>>1070363
Because individuals are allowed to hold their own private prized possessions. Why should he just give it away to museum? It's his property.
>>1070351
This
>>1070368
It belongs in a museum
>>1067530
Never buy a single folio that was cut from a manuscript. These things should stay as they were, even of it's only a dime in a dozen Book of Hours.
Simply barbaric.
>>1070325
https://www.reddit.com/user/fuckjaredc
here's her reddit throwaway
Try putting an ad in a paper or local news or something to explain the value of the item. You lost it, but maybe the person buying it will take care of it if he knows its value, instead of giving it to his 10y.o son as a dart board
>>1070351
it's just the contrarian instinct where everyone is eager to tell the OP that it's all his fault for some reason which is actually made up after they decided that he was wrong
it's pretty common
>>1067530
Holy fucking Shit.
I saw a thread with the exact pic and some anon saying he bought it off a garage sale.
There is a 90% this a troll thread but the 10%..

>>1070381
I'd watch a show about a senile Indiana Jones regularly escaping from his senior care home to break into and steal private collections and drop them off at museums while having delusions about the security systems he faces. An angry owner of some ancient greek vases appears as a greek hoplite, a pursuing dog a jaguar, a home security system some sort of anachronistically advanced tomb raider elimination system.
>Mr. Jones, how many times have we told you...you can't break into peoples homes and leave their things for us to display! We aren't even a history museum, we're an art museum!
>It belongs...in a museum
>>1070392
I miss the old 4chan where it was perfectly acceptable to call someone a retard for being a retard and take pleasure in others' misfortunes.
Cuck meme is awful when it is allowed to be used in this way as a non-argument defense for being retarded. If he is seeking pity why can't he just post on a reddit hugbox or something?
>>1067627

Are you new? Anytime a board has a joke/situations that's attractive and funny, you can expect followup threads referencing the original.
Like when /tg/ had the dog katana incident thread, what naturally followed were posts written as if by the dog.
>>1070446
Read the OP. "Pic related is not the leaf in question"
Your screenshot is the troll.
>people unironically thinking this story is true because OP says so
I have a fucking leaf to sell you
>>1070463
>Like when /tg/ had the dog katana incident thread, what naturally followed were posts written as if by the dog.
elaborate.
>>1070336
OPs a faggot, what else is new?
>>1070524
Someone bought a wall hanger katana from an anime expo and he and his friends were taking turns swinging it around later.
They made sure to stay well away from whoever was swinging it, but during on of his friend's turns, someone's pupper ran towards the person swinging it and he failed to see the dog, so he wound up slashing it's face by accident.
OP and his friends all contributed for the dog's medical care, but naturally, the responding anons were angry he was swinging a wall hanger and the his purchase ended up hurting a doggo.
The thread having become popular, had "followup" threads where people would make tabletop scenarios that were actually just the story retold and greentexts from the doggo's perspective.
The cause of suffering is attachment. This is the Second Noble Truth.
>>1070630
>that devine feel when your gf sells off ancient mantras that have been passed down for generations
>that sublime realization she has just broken the cycle of karma
>that feel when you realize the emptiness and deadness you feel is in fact enlightenment

>>1070669
Well clearly it's true, because OP is suffering after losing something he was attached to.
>>1067530
>choosing to provide for a girl
>>1070683
If OP were a stoic he wouldn't suffer because his girlfriend sold his manuscript. He would only suffer for things within his control, like him letting his girlfriend sell his manuscript.
>>1070387
That doesn't mean anything at all.
>>1067596
>>And to top it all off, after I fucking yelled at her about it, she didn't even apologize. Rather she just tried doing what every woman does when confronted with their mistakes: she tried turning it around and blaming me for it somehow, because "I wasn't there to help" despite the fact that I was fucking at work.
You understand nothing about women.
>>1067530
Break up
>>1070751
It means you can determine from her posts and defences whether she's trolling or not. You can determine if someones is trolling or lying by examining their posts, right?
Weird. In my family all of this is reversed. My mother is the latest in a line of anthropologists in her family and she's always having to play keep away with my uncles and brothers when it comes to preserving her collections of antique instruments and 19th-century sheet music.
I think it's less a woman thing and more that you have a horrible taste in them, OP

Is no other anon vaguely aware of the possibility that she wanted to get OP out of being into history? Women are vapid and, as OP said, she isn't interested in history like he is. I would put forward that it is strongly possible that she knew the value of the books that he wanted kept (as they were marked 'antique', the practical synonym of which is 'valuable') but wanted to sell them to drag OP out of his hobby.
She probably got shitty advice from her friends about how 'oh if you get rid of his artifacts then he'll get another hobby which you can both do teehee'.
Cohabiting with women? Not even once.
>>1071025

So is literal cash. You wouldn't sell 18 $100 bills for $10 either.
>>1071041
This *is* 4chan so that is more than likely (artistic works of fiction) but assuming he's telling the truth, I'd posit that my point she might have done it intentionally holds some merit.
>>1067628
Just ignoring people straight out is childish. Stop being such a baby and just straight up tell her you're pissed and need space. She obviously feels guilty - that doesn't make her fuckup okay but it also means she's aware she fucked up.
>>1067530
By keeping a valuable piece of history in your own personal possession you are just as bad as the guy who bought it
