Re: McGwire 88 World Series Bat

I appreciate the activity this thread has garnered over the last 24 hours. I am not sure if I have a deal this morning as the paypal acct apparently is not showing the deposit. I have given the buyer til this afternoon to take care of this.

Re: McGwire 88 World Series Bat

they had better send the money as you sold it to me twice over the last 24 hr's and i lost a world series gamer for nothing because of our deal. your greed got the best of your honor and trust as far as i'm concerned. this whole forum is based on the honor system as alot of money changes hand's here and i have writtren the adminastrator's about this deal. there need to be 2 set's of rules just like the non-paying buyer's are named and called out so should the non-selling seller's. your bussiness tactic's can be viewed for all to see as i call it now "the ballad of a modern day deal" if any one is curious email me at mcfresonke@hotmail.com to see for yourself. if you list an item for sale and set a price you should held responsible to honor it! not sale it, then someone offer's more and i agree to meet there price again ,just not to lose my item for nothing and deal was finalized again and you packed it and got it ready to ship. so the deal was made 2 times now. then a third party contacted you after it was sold and you dunned me for more money again to the tune of 1150.00 up fron 525.00 and 625.00 both above your asking price as listed. copies of the deal are being sent to the adminastrators. there need to be rules set for the use and abuse of the for sale section on this site or is this site going the way of the ebay dog's? dod eat dog for a buck.no honor amoung thieves? i think we all agree there is not much trust and honor hardly left in this hobby. are the adminastrators going to let these kind of bussiness tactic's and lack of trust and abuse of this site's policy on selling go on here? if i can't trust the member's word on this board then the hobby has no chance to survive!

Re: McGwire 88 World Series Bat

I emailed you about this Chris. I know you are upset and to an extent you have a right to be. I am a blue collar worker. I am currently working a second job as my main job I have no work (carpenter). You and I discussed my own wife's unhappiness over this. You were talking about not having me paid in full for a week; and I was offered double right now. To someone in my financial spot the appeal I am sure has greed labled on it. I own up to it. I emailed you a few times about this last night and you did not respond - then you come on here and post. I mentioned I might have egg on my face if the higher amount went south, and right now it might well be, and again, I acknowledge that. Ok. Today is Monday. If you want the bat for $625 - I want it paypaled to me TODAY. The package still resides at my house with YOUR label on it. The ball is in your court. If you don't send the funds today in full than I do not believe you have a leg to stand on. We had no problem in last dealings.

Re: McGwire 88 World Series Bat

as i did discuss this with you last night what the best i could do was and you agreed again and all of it today was not our agreement. i do understand your situation it's the same as almost everybody's on here. look all i can do is what we agreed on the second time as when i agreed on that it wiped out our first agreement. if you cant honor that, then sell it by all mean's i'll understand. my post on here was not to downgrade you personally by any mean's i like you and have trusted you in the past with alot of my money. it was posted so this base can be covered by g.u.u. for future transaction between member's in the future. we are held to a higher standerd here so i thought this kind of thing should be addressed befor any more deal's like this go down.

Re: McGwire 88 World Series Bat

Whatever happened to the asking price of $500 in your initial post. This doesn't smell good! Are you attempting to run an auction, or selling an item at a fixed price to your collecting peers?

Re: McGwire 88 World Series Bat

sorry guy's i have to get to work, but would love to take this up when i get off as i feel there is a base that really need's to be covered here! just for future deal's that can be made on here and the rules for doing such deal's. i would love to here from everyone on this. again this isn't about bad mouthing anybody. i didn't want that !!!!!!!!!! this was just a situation that came up that i thought there is a lack if guide lines to cover such an deal. an auction is an auction a set price is just that and should be honored if listed that;s all lmk what you guy's think

Zonker says he isn't here to bash me, but in rereading the earlier posts - it would appear he is...especially when he acknowledges that he sent our emails to administrators (I have no issue with that by the way). I came back and said I would gladly forget everything else and sell him the bat at $625 agreed upon price TODAY. Not tomorrow or the next day. I think I owned up to the fact that I agreed to a deal, then was offered over double the price. Half the people on here would say Zonker and I had a verbal agreement. The other half would say it was not final til money was in hand. Zonker refused the offer of paypal yesterday or today. I think I have did my share to rite any wrongdoings. Read my posts. And at this point the bat is still not sold, but being that he did not work this out privately and I still offered to doi something TODAY, I don't think anyone here can say too much negative. Look at the end scenario - I still have the bat, no money, no deal. And nobody happy. Case closed.

Re: McGwire 88 World Series Bat

The thing I have a small problem with is if you have an asking price...and I mean you in general terms. I'm not here to pick on anyone. I think if someone lists a price...leave it there. Its not fair to put a price of $500 and have someone agree to it, then have someone else say, I'll pay $550 and then email the guy who agreed to buy it for $500 then say I have someone to buy it for $550, can you go higher....thats like an auction. I believe if you're going to sell something, do it on a first come first serve basis, not run your own personal auction. Thats what it seems like is happening here. I could be wrong, and if I'm missing some of the story please inform me. I'm trying to be general here. But its happened to me where I ask if something is available and someone says yes, but they want this and if you can go higher, cool. If you want to sell an item, and list a price and someone agrees to that price then you need to sell it at that price. Otherwise its bad business in my opinion.

I'm sure this will all be worked out when the new for sale section appears here on the forum.

Hopefully you guys can resolve this and be happy.

Key here is I gave an opportunity for him to take it today with paypal. I tried to make good. I want to close a deal, not argue about it. I have been at this 30 years, I think my reputation speaks for itself...

Re: McGwire 88 World Series Bat

I acknowledge that you gave him an opportunity to do the deal. What I'm talking about is how'd it go from $500...to $625? Thats what I have a problem with in any deal. You were going to sell it for $500. If someone agrees to buy an item how does it go for more than the stated price, unless there is a back and forth between two interested parties.

Re: McGwire 88 World Series Bat

My understanding is that this is supposed to be a fixed price forum. Put up the asking price, sell it at that price PERIOD. Don't play one man's offer against others offers trying to run an amateur auction for your own benefit. How did the price jump from $500 to over $1,000, now back to $650 or whatever? Pick a price carefully and honor it to the first buyer who agrees to close the deal. That's what I have a problem with. If you want an auction go to EBAY.
