What Do You Do When?
You agree to a deal, you agree to a purchase price, you then go and buy $$$ autograph tickets to get the items signed and then the seller sells the items out from under you? I will not mention names or items but it is a board member and it is two bats one rare one not rare but coveted by collectors. This to me is an action that makes the hobby not fun at all. I was all excited and then this happens. We are talking about a deal of $ 1700.00 which is not exactly a small amount of money for many people. What do I do?

I say call them out! tar and feather them!
If what you say is true, then by all means, give their name.
lets hear the entire story.

Please name names. I would hate to see the same thing happen to someone else by the same offender when it could be ovoided by warning others.

Re: What Do You Do When?
I would like to say I am sorry to the individual involved in this transaction. I refuse to name the individual as they feel the issue should not have been brought to the board and I will respect their wishes. I am in no way attempting to say this individual is a bad person or a bad board member. It's just the dynamics of this deal went very very wrong and I really don't know why or how it all happened.
We had attempted to resolve the issue which I thought had happened, however this thread caused the seller to feel as thou I attacked him and has now resulted in the resolution becoming null and void. The intent of this post was to ask for advice not to attack a seller and I am sorry to the seller if you feel as thou I treated you unfairly.
I still hope there is some way to resolve the situation and to get the pieces that I have wanted and am still excited about.
This board is a great place and has resulted in me making some great trades, getting some great items for my collection and meeting some really good people. I hope that this deal is resolved in a positive way for both the seller and myself and that my relationship with the seller can be fixed as they are a great source for items I collect.

Not to further enflame it, but, in the words of Harrison Ford, you must've hit him pretty close to the mark to get him all riled up like that. I think it's ironic that someone is accused of not following through and, to help support his case, he refuses to follow through.
