tragic news in the vintage collector world

[Blondie]

Very sad day for Vintage community

I'm sure you all know of Grindlesvintage on ebay and have done business with them at some point. They did an incredible job selling beautiful vintage clothing. Such a shocking, tragic loss............

Very sad........

In fairness, they said her cancer had reached the final stage, and she had very little time left. I've been through this, and there is a point where your time is clearly up. But that still doesn't excuse their actions.

I think it's totally reasonable for someone with a terminal illness to take their own life if they are in pain. However, to take the life of your daughter as well? That's completely wrong.

Hermann, Hungary Tom, Fernande, Moche, Pigeon: I'm with you on this.

So sad ...


Creepy, too: their MySpace page is still up and receiving messages ... and recent buyers continue to post positive feedback for them on eBay ...

A very sad tale, all too common (murder suicide). A very complex issue, this one, which forms a vast portion of my everyday thought . . . see [abridged*] signature.

*Full text from 'An Absurd Reasoning' by Albert Camus.

There is but one truly philosophical problem, and that is suicide. Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy. All the rest--whether or not the world has three dimensions, whether the mind has nine or twelve categories--comes afterwards.

You cannot judge someone until you have walked in their shoes.
You do not know why they made their decision. It doubt it was made lightly, i don't believe what they did was right, but obviously they thought it was right for them and their daughter.
I think it is so easy to say "how could they ? ", but really unless you were close to them and you knew what was going on then you cannot even try to understand.

I've bought from and sold to John. We even traded stuff on a few occasions.
I'm in shock.

The first thing I thought when I read this story the other day was how selfesh. When I look at my daughter and think about this, it's impossible for me to imagine any circumstance that would make it possible to take her life.

No matter the circumstances, no matter what they were going through, this can hardly be viewed as a carefully considered choice that was right for them at the time. The child was murdered. Unforgivable, unimaginable, unpardonable. Horror through and through.

Grindles Vintage

I've bought a number of things over time from the Kuca's. I'm really shocked! He posted pics of his Wife & Daughter @ their Ebay web site. They did mention his Wife's cancer & selling some of his personal vintage collection.

PS Think deanglen has the right idea!

Ugh...this makes me cringe. Especially, when a child is involved.

 

[NoirDame]

This is horrible....but, I can't believe they used a hearse to do it. That makes the whole thing more...disturbing. (and this is from a former hearse owner who sees nothing creepy about hearses).

 

[CanadaDoll]

God, how horrible.

 

[catsmeow]

OH MY GOD! I've bought a 2 things from that Grindlesvintage. I even checked her in my ebay favourites not long ago and I noticed there wasn't anything listed. I thought that was really odd. I didn't think much of it. Oh this is so tragic. News you don't want to hear. I used to see their family pictures on their website, they looked so happy.
They obviously couldn't live without each other. Imagine what must have been going through their minds to do this. They chose not to deal with it? I don't know! The little girl's life taken away so young..very upsetting.

How any parent could kill their own child is beyond me. It is simply unthinkable.

 

[deadpandiva]

I feel sorry for everyone involved and I can't imaging being misdiagnosed and then told that you are dying and there nothing anyone can do. That being said, I also believe that children are resilient and full of potential. They should not have done that to their daughter.

Sickening.

 

[jamespowers]

Sickening.

Beyond sickening---looney and beyond hope. My worst fear is that something should happen to my son.
