Who can slighty best these WHOLESALE PRICES?? ALL CARDS SOLD!

[cparker94]

Like I said, use caution with this guy. He tells you here that it sold for less money but yet here's a message he sent to me...


"Sorry Craig....the Koufax sold on another site last night. I don't pull cards down until I actually have the money in hand. If it is any consolation, it sold for more money...I was actually wholesaling the cards for Net54 members."

Any consolation? Yes, I feel better. Thank you!


Craig from Texas

Yes, the card sold for more money technically, but after fees and what not, the card ACTUALLY SOLD FOR LESS MONEY THAN WHAT WE AGREED UPON!! Someone purchased it in the middle of the night around 3 in the morning! Like I said, I forgot to jack up the price at the other venue. To villify me is totally uncalled for however. An unfortunate situation happened. That is it.

Offer was given consideration and acceptance.

There are two sides to every story.

To me it sounds like poor communication and execution on Bobby's part. I don't think it was some convoluted issue. The card was left up for sale and shouldn't have been once the deal was made. It sold to someone else. I suggest better and more transparent communication in the future. And take down a card from other places it is for sale, once it is sold. It's elementary selling.

was very poor communication. I have seen cards on bst and when I pm the seller they will tell me they had someone contact them already and a sale is pending and will email me back if the sale falls through. As a buyer I understand that. If you agreed to be paid by a certain date the only way I can understand selling the card to another buyer is if the first person went past the deadline on the agreed upon date of payment.

I see nothing wrong with listing a card on ebay and the forum. I've done it before and I've had situations where I need to cancel one transaction or another (sometimes it just happens). I always go with the person who pays first.

Edited to add:

One situation I remember in particular, a forum member purchased a 1968 Topps set from me for $600. I also had the set on ebay for $900 obo. Someone hit the buy it now option that night for the full $900 about 15 minutes after the forum member paid. I cancelled the ebay transaction.

Now, if the item sold on ebay before the forum member paid, I would have been more inclined to honor the ebay transaction.

From what was shared I understand that the agreement reached was that Craig would send the agreed upon sale price to Bobby the next day. Did I get that right guys? Further that there was no communication about the card remaining "available for sale" till payment was received. Is that right?

If I got that right then I have to side with Craig here. The lack of clear communication of terms and broken agreement rest with Bobby.

If I got the facts wrong - I apologize. Just trying to help you guys out with an objective opinion.

You guys had an agreement, then you got a higher offer later at night for more and you sold it. You should have told the second buyer that he was next in line of buyer 1 flaked.

It was not a higher offer. It was for sell on Ebay at a higher price. The listing was not pulled, nor jacked up. After fees, I actually got less money than what Craig offered. An unfortunate situation because of an error on my part.

Now, if the item sold on ebay before the forum member paid, I would have been more inclined to honor the ebay transaction.

That is exactly what happened. The Ebay buyer hit the button in the middle of the night, before Craig paid.
