Exercise Caution dealing w/Shawn Martin

[ullmandds]

right Quan...what was I thinking?

[ullmandds]

To complete the story...here is my response to Shawn after he cavalierly wrote off the card that he supposedly never received:

personally, I think this whole thing stinks. so what I'm hearing is that you sold a card at auction that you didn't even have....that you supposedly won at auction with a group of things...but somehow this one card never arrived and now you're just cavalierly writing it off as a loss.

i think you weren't happy with the sale price...and are now renegging on your deal.

and his response to me:

Thanks for your opinion and it does stink
Yeah that seems to be the case that I'm dealing with from the person I won the auction. I had a pic of the card and wanted to flip it to fund another card that was being auctioned off, that's why I did a 1 day auction with an affordable starting price, or else I would have done a longer auction.

Hey at least you didnt send $ and would have to deal with a refund, no sweat off your back

Yeah, no sweat off my back...I just don't get a card that I won fairly at auction, that I wanted...and you(the crook) gets off scott free, as usual. Gotta love the hobby!

David...wherever did u find that pic of me doing charitable dentistry in Pakistan?!?!

Nice detective work, Phil...this whole thing definitely stinks of deception and lies!

Agreed Dan...crooks can be so stupid...this place is full of eyes and ears!

As moderator I don't like the way this deal went down. That being said Shawn has been a good member and added value to the board. For now he is not allowed back on the Live Auction forum......

If members don't want to sell for a low price in that area then they need to start their auction off at the minimum they will accept or set a transparent reserve. Members should NEVER auction something they don't have in their possession. I am in the camp of finding the story very hard to believe......

I shouldn't have auctioned off a card I did not have yet. I messed up. Lesson learned

Why did you leave positive feedback for the seller on eBay if you hadn't received the card yet? That doesn't make any sense.

[JohnP0621]

What also does not make sense is that the card was not sold in a lot????
Something smells very stinky.

This is not credible at all...it was on ebay, we've all seen the auction. It did not come from a grouping.

Golly - it sure doesn't take much to get banned from BST auction around here. I sure hope that the Wagner tobacco card arrives before my auction ends Sunday.

Shameless plug alert.
