Even in it's most common form of the second grade playground, i never understood or respected that.
With the exception of the op here, who i think maybe just wasn't thinking, let's examine what calling dibbs means.
"i saw this set, and cause i',s so damn special stay away from it and let me buy it. Cause i said so."
"i saw it first, it's mine."
Then of course the more forgiveable "here's a set i'm thinking of buying"
Calling dibbs, or i saw it first, is not only childish, it's incredibly foolish, immature and arrogant. Strangers on a message board have no obligation to stay away from any potential sales, just because u issue some statement.
If u posted a nice set that got sold out from under neath you, well shame on you. 63 roundies for example, are not rolls of tp at costo. They are rare antiques. The point is, no one here owes u anything. If a vker beats u by 1 day or one hour to a set, he owes u nothing.
and one other thing. If u want to keep a jerk like me away from your potential buy, don't post a damn thing. Even a small bit of info, is enough for me sometimes to locate a set.
so i'll issue my own statement. Anybody posts a set here, game on. With the exception of a certain chassis made by zenith for my good buddy Ron, any set is fair game. I will buy a set down the street from u and laugh while i do it. I will strike without warning.
