What else could I do?
I'm posting this to get opinions on the following issue. No names will be given.
I sent an email to person with my price for a card. The person DID NOT read the email, just deleted it, so I sold the card. He has admitted to not reading my email. Now the person is going around telling people I double crossed him. Is this my fault? If I had been the one to delete the email, I'd be a MAN and admit it and move on. Why blame me for something he did, it's not like I placed a gun to his head and told him to not read the offer. Thank you for your responses in advance.

Email
His loss and lack of taking the time to read is the other persons gain.
Stuff happens...next !!

No Way
Larry, NO ONE who has ever dealt with you would EVER believe anything bad about you. You are a fine, upstanding member of this hobby and well respected on this board (I hope I speak for everyone on this matter). Are you still leaving the hobby as you stated a few months ago? That would be a shame, although this kind of stuff probably doesn't help.
Hope all is well and best wishes, Tony

No way Larry! Sometimes I won't respond back to emails because I am forgetful, but that's my fault not the seller. You did nothing wrong. He should've read the email!

I'll pile on: I've had a few transactions with Larry with no problems whatsoever. He's awesome.

Near as I can tell, the make up of collectors/dealers:
Princes...the best of the best - 5% Really nice guys, completely trustworthy - 35% Nice guy, kind of rough around the edges - 20% Ok guy...kind of depends on the mood you catch him in - 15% It's fine if he walks by my table / I probably won't bother to stop at his - 10% Wanabe / Museum keeper - 3% Person more interested in the haggle than the purchase - 5% Crook, psyco or at the very least a scorched-earth negotiator - 7% There is a small percentage who live in their mother's basement and have serious serial killer potential. Where, according to your experience am I off?

If someone can't be bothered to read an email or fetch it back out of the deleted items folder or send a gentle reminder if they didn't know they deleted it and a little time went by......I don't see any way any of that could be your fault.
I suppose you could have sent the email with a read reciept and followed up in a day or two if it hadn't been read. But that's kinda pushy and a lot of extra work and maybe just a bit paranoid. And nobody actually does that sort of thing......Nah, his problem not yours. Steve B

things happen, Larry
Hi Larry,
things happen and talk is cheap. Those of us that know you, whether in person or here, know that you'd never do anything shady. Just my 2 cents, but things do happen in this non-perfect world. Bill Hedin Quote:

Larry is the Mayor of Buffalo
and STILL refuses to take bribes, money under the table, or do any political appointments for his friends or fellow baseball cards collectors. So I give you an A-OK on this issue, Mayor---the guy sounds like he's an unreasonable person ; the only good thing is that he was honest enough to admit deleting your email...I on the other hand, read each of your emails so as not to lose out on any wisdom you may be offering for the day.
