BST etiquette am I wrong

[bigfanNY]

. When I stated I will take it. I consider that a pretty strong declaration of interest. In fact when I posted " I will take it" I gave my word I will follow through with the purchase at the asking price. Because between grown men that's what "I will take it" means. I understand you don't agree what the term " I will take it" means and how it in fact binds you to your word. Now everyone else who reads this thread will understand it as well.

I threatened nothing. I asked if we could Message Leon for his opinion. And after your long derogatory message I gave you my word how I would follow up.

As for him Blocking me he sent me at least 3 messages after saying I shouldn't contact him. So...?

Jonathan,
I had to unblock you to see the response. Please don’t lie and say you made no threat to take me to court. I have the messages. I also explained in the message before you threatened legal action that you assumed you were the first to stake claim and that I said you weren’t. I was fielding interest in case the earlier potential buyers backed out. At no point did I say it was yours or that you weren’t the first to say you wanted it. You assumed all of that and I figured by messaging you telling you that I had a lot of interest in the item already, that you knew there was a queue. I sold it to the first to respond to my post. They did so via private message and not as a comment. So I was honoring the first to show interest and allowed them to respond and confirm before I sold it. I was going to add you to the queue and would have explained that to you more clearly had we had an exchange, but you never message back until nearly 11pm.

It's always funny when it takes just 10 minutes for the proof a lie was told to appear lol.

I think you're misreading. Jonathan acknowledges what he did after the "long, derogatory" message. I think he means up to that point he did not threaten anything.

I think once communication starts between potential buyer and seller, especially when one says "I'll take it," it must be closed out before moving on to someone else. Many things can happen, causing delays in responses. JMO

What Lie? I said I threatened nothing. I gave my word on how I would respond. I don't issue threats.

Saying "I will see you in court." sounds like a threat to me. It doesn't have to be physical violence to be considered a threat.

I 100% agree with you saying I will see you in court sounds like a threat. But not what I said. I will update the thread down the road with my follow up.

In post #54, the seller posted a screenshot of your message to him saying what I quoted.

Not what you said? The messages were already posted. You said "I will see you in court. I give you my word on that". Are you alleging the messages are doctored? Looks like I had it right, you're just blatantly telling obvious lies.

Your a lawyer you understand that a threat of legal action with no intent to follow up is just wrong. I gave you my word I will follow up in court. That's not a threat.

Also thank you for clarification on the fact that although
I was not the first to inquire about the card. I was the first to say I will take it.
That is the crux of our disagreement. I believe that saying " I will take it " means I am committed to buying the card. And you disagree. And claim another layer of conformation is nesacery.

I'm sure you can figure out the incredibly obvious. Not a threat, because you're doing it, so it's just a promise and a promise isn't a threat. Can't wait to see the court filing of this crap

The part about - " See you in court " really ??

It’s fine, I’ll just refrain from selling on net54 anymore. If somehow a majority thinks that commenting on a thread “I’ll take it” somehow supercedes DM’s that I’m currently conversing with saying the same thing, just waiting until payment is made to mark sold. I messaged the comment poster, told him I already had others interested and somehow he and a majority on here still think he had a claim to it absolutely blows my mind. But if this is what is to be expected on this forum, it isn’t worth the trouble. I made a post, had people DM me without comments, hadn’t officially sold it, he commented and I messaged to let him know that others were interested, was confirming his interest and payment plan if a sale was to be made and if he was ok with all of it. Somehow, his 6 hour lapse of response to me telling him others were already involved before his comment still has people on here saying he had a right to it. Then one of those interested before him agreed and paid, and I mark the item sold, then he responds 4 hours after I marked sold in my messages asking for payment info and I inform him the item sold to one of those interested parties I mentioned in my original message to him, he becomes angry, throws a tantrum, and I politely ask him to stop messaging me and have to block him. Then he starts a forum post to drag my name for him not getting his way. Childish behavior. I took initiative, messaged him after his comment to let him know that he was not the first to want the item, but I hadn’t marked sold until I got payment and somehow I’m still in the wrong for most of the comments. Literally have been buying and selling for years and never experienced anything like this. Good luck to all those who try to do right through active communication! Doesn’t seem to be the norm here. Apparently making a comment on a post makes you queue to the head of the line over those who privately message and for some reason the seller should stop all communication with anyone who failed to comment on the post and wait for however long it takes for the commenter to actually respond to a message. And by the sound of it, could and should wait days before moving forward with other “actively engaging” interested parties.
