Beware dealing with njdunkin1 on the board.

[chaddurbin]

Just wasted an hour with this guy:

1. I lowered a card on a sales post to XXX. Guy pm'ed me to say he "thinks he'll take it" but can't get the funds 'til tonight and if I can hold it. I said sure send when you're ready.

2. then he wants to see a back scan, i complied and he says looks great he'll talk to his "business partner". then he says he'll only pay in regular paypal that's how he operates and if i will send the card priority mail...

3. i said reg pp is fine if he wants priority it's $5 extra. he comes back with he talked with his partner the card looks great if i'd take $20 less for it now (????). i told him no if he doesn't want it i'll just relist it.

4. next he says well he's buying for a friend the card again looks great but he really can only pay $10 less than what he originally agreed to buy it for....!!! suffice to say the card is back up for sale.

I expected this kind of behavior on Ebay or other kiddie forums but I guess these types are moving onto this board also. I'm gonna block him to be safe but ymmv with this guy, proceed with caution and expect after a deal to be struck he'll come back with 5 other conditions and lowball offers...

What about #2, #3, and #4? And why would you have him hold it if you weren't sure you could afford it? That doesn't sound very good.

[Peter_Spaeth]

Bad form to try to lowball someone after agreeing to a price subject to being able to afford it especially after he already agreed to eat the PP fee unnecessarily and to ship priority. The court rules in Quan's favor.

Hey Quan, would you take $30 less?

Why ask someone to hold a card if you weren't sure you could pay for it? If 10 bucks creates an affordability issue perhaps you should save the money for necessities and shouldn't be buying cards at this time.

"Talk with my business partner" = "Get permission from my wife".

"Can only pay you $10 less than we agreed upon" = "Wife said no."

You could have just PM'ed me and let me know you weren't happy, no need to go and rant to the boards. Gosh, dude. Not cool.

Not a rant on his part, just letting everyone know how you do business. No one is going to have a problem with how he handled it, many will have a problem with how you did. You don't agree to a price and then try to make another deal for a discount. That's not cool. Quan is well respected here, you are unknown to most. Be very careful how you continue with this line of posting. Just a fair warning.

Once you say hold it you've agreed to the price. If money is an issue don't ask someone to take a card off the table. Simple. This is a straightforward transaction, not a home or car purchase.

Agree with Tony and Greg...Jerry

i would've been completely cool if he told me he couldn't come up with the fund and back out of the deal. i've had a board member back out of a 6k deal after weeks of waiting back in the day. this is totally different after a deal was struck this guy came back and tried to haggle some more, this is not a monetary issue. that's what i want to warn the board about..

You mess with Quan, you'll wish you hadn't. We all know that.
