If you can't take the heat, go away, nobody will miss you.

Make that two.

Can't take fair criticism, Dan? Is that the best you can do, to drop f bombs on me?

If a moderator catches wind of members abusing other members in PMs, with F bombs and such, we will take action. Take it somewhere else, not here, even in PMs.

ps....I don't know of other functionalities of our s/w but I might talk to Brian about some stuff.....we are better off than we used to be in that respect.

I've been here many years, and obviously have not always agreed with everyone , but this is the first time I remember getting profanity-laden PMs. I guess I never ticked off the Bruces.

Touched a nerve did we, Peter?

My guess as to what happened -

Seller lists the card for sale for X dollars or best offer...

Buyer A contacts seller and they agree at $3275 to have a deal.

Seller states paypal payment should be made to such and such address...

Seller receives another email from a Buyer B who probably offers $3,500 for said Mantle.

In the meantime Buyer A's transaction of $3275 goes through.

Seller says "oh $hit....I can make another couple hundred dollars here".

Seller tells Buyer A sorry circumstances are making me change my mind for the time being. I'll reimburse your money.

Seller tells Buyer B "hey you got a deal, but keep your mouth closed and please do not advertise you bought this from me".


Sounds about right. And if this is anything close, it's not worth the crap your name has just been rung through on this thread. You mentioned having other places to sell...of course you do. But how many of those places have this volume of specialized buyers and NO fees associated with said sales? I'd say you've screwed the pooch on this one, seller.

Dave - Thanks for explaining it in easy to understand terms.
Let's take bets on WHEN Leon will lock this thread.

That just shows you didn't do it right. Piker.

I agree with the buyer here and can understand why he and others might wish to avoid this seller in the future. The seller has also learned a valuable lesson and may wish to avoid the person who backed out of the deal to sell him the upgrade.

Having said that, I don't own a '51 Mantle and have never felt that my life was unfulfilled as a result. Thus, it doesn't seem to me to be a major sacrifice for either party to do without the card for the brief period necessary to procure a replacement.
