What's up with some people?

Re: What's up with some people?

Andrew,

I am not one to name names, but the same exact thing happened to me here too... and I am selling items nowhere near the price of yours.

This buyer committed to buy 3 different items, and their communication was flowing regularly and consistently when they were reserving them. When it came down to making the payment, communication stopped dead. It took me a week of silence to resort to emailing them to find out when the payment is actually coming in. They replied with some nonsense like --

I've changed my mind and won't be taking them anymore. I have just had so many bad deals on this forum that I don't want to enter another deal (this is not a direct quote, but you get the gist).

Now, this person could have spoken up sooner if they were so impelled to cancel a transaction (or three)... but the end result was:
1. this person unfairly lumped me (with a perfect selling reputation of over 10 years) with some idiots that sell frivolously on here and don't deliver
2. I marked 3 different items as being sold when other forum members could have had the chance to buy them. In fact, I even told a few forum members "sorry, the item has already been sold" (when in fact it wasn't).

I hope yours works itself out, but I hope you're not dealing with the same person I dealt with.

Looks like they both lost a good resource and friend in the hobby due to a lack of communication

I hope these two members would come forward on this thread and address this situation.

This shouldn't have happen to a nicer guy (Andrew of course)

Andrew,
Sorry to hear that... I hope they do make it right and everything works out for you.

OK, so we are heading into the All Star break and I have 2 Forum members that I have never dealt with before and both seem to be good people, but I am getting an All Star SNUB.

One wanted some items that I had just recently acquired and the other wanted me to purchase an item on their behalf so I laid out about $800 for this person and I am now stuck with this jersey. So i have just about $1,000 sitting out there and not getting a response from either after emailing and trying to nicely reach out to both.

I have had so many great transactions with Forum members so I am not going to let anyone think this is a trend as I believe these are 2 isolated cases. I have obscured their names hoping they make this right.

Here is one email from May 16th:

I would like to buy the Phoenix bat (I'm so happy it's the grundgy one!) and the red batting gloves. But there's a hitch. I woun't even try and get a lower price because I know it may take me 3 weeks to a month to pay for these. Is it possible for you to wait that long? I'll pay sooner if I can, of course.

I've got two big %&*^#*@ purchases to make and one small one and I don't want to let those guys down. I need to pay those deals first.

So let me know what you think. But those are some sweet items you have! I'd take it all if I could ... but mainly I gotta have the beautiful grundgie Phoenix!!!!

Thank you for remembering to email me!

Here is one email from June 12th:

Andrew -

If you don't mind securing it for me until I have my funding - just making sure you understand my situation and that it will probably be about a month before I have my funds - I would be more grateful than words can express...

Please check on the 07 as well...

THANK YOU!!!
