Buy/Sell/Trade problem with member

[eastonfalcon19]

Greg, I've bought stuff from him as well in the past and never had an issue.

If I sell an item to somebody and then go and sell that item to someone else, I just don't think that's right but that's just me.

That really shouldn't happen. When someone says it's yours it should be yours.

Ron,
It's an unfortunate situation that should never happen. If someone says its yours, they should follow through with that. Anything else is poor business practice.
Best,
Mark

That sucks and there seems to be a rash of bad things from board members going on now.

Would like to hear an explanation from the seller as to what happened. 2 of my favorite memorabilia pieces were bought from him. Nothing else will be purchased till I hear a explanation.

Well, everyone knows it's me so let me explain my side. It was almost 24 hrs before I heard back so I sold to another member who paid immediately. I know the time frame seems fair but here's the deal, on this post alone, I had 3 different members inquire about items and say "I'll take it". After that, I never heard from any of them again. I will not name names or call anyone out as I just move on (not like some, apparently). This is not the only time this has happened, it happens more than I would like. I really can't believe someone started a thread to bitch about a $10 purchase.

Tony it's not about the price. I bought from you and other members in the past and never had an issue and will never have an issue paying. So please don't group me with the other people.

When someone tells me they want an item, I give them a few hrs or so unless there are other arrangements.

I will say this--- I have been burned soooooo many times from ppl saying "I'll take it" and then I never hear from them again and I lose out on other ppl during that time not wanting it anymore. I had to start blocking ppl because some did it multiple times.

Money talks most of the time. It's a $10 ball, just move on....

Members should PM me about other members poor BST behavior. While backing out of "a" deal with no one harmed won't be a major issue, doing it multiple times will get them kicked off the BST. But if I never know then nothing can be done. Members who PM me stay private. This all being said, more times than not, there is more than 1 side to a story. But please PM me when someone doesn't follow through and eventually that person won't be here anymore *(if it happens often or more than once in a short period).....

right, money talks. I probably give a little more time if its a $10 item. If i got a guy saying hell take a card for $9500 and i have a backup offer, i not going to wait around with just an 'ill take it' if i dont know have a 'pay by' date...

i would want to know when getting paid by on a high dollar item..

Ron, I never said you were a problem with paying but with the rash of instances lately (some with members who I've never had a problem before) I never know what to expect. I'm sorry it happened and I'll try my best to not let it happen again.

You should name names. Other sellers have a right to know. As Ben mentioned, there seems to be a lot of bad things with board members lately regarding the BST, and I think other board members have a right to know who these people are so that we can avoid doing business with them.

[eastonfalcon19]

OK I apologize for not paying right away Tony. That won't happen again.

Thank you for the explanation, it is always good to hear both sides.
