Indirect witch hunt @ buyers who don't pay, after an "I'll take it"

[VintageJay]

There was no rudeness. It was a simple mistake of not checking my personal email during a hectic week away on the road during one of our league's craziest times of the year.

And this whole thread is childish! I sent him an apologetic PM once I returned and realized what I had done and he not only completely ignored it but started messaging other members about me which basically killed the second deal that he's talking about in his statement.

Also, I didn't have to come out and say "hey, it's me he's talking about". I did because I'm being a man about it. Unlike this whiner!

By the way, anyone other than LukeLyon know this kid? He must be of the younger generation that never learned to solve problems on their own.

I was going to post a reply about how he solved it by re-selling the card but I was too busy dealing with work, etc....you know what I mean....

If you give an opinion of a person or company your full name needs to be in your post.

To be fair, I never named the person I was calling a whiner. It's no different than the OP's "indirect witch hunt".

His name is scrambled just like you can do, under his user id. You can put it out there or I will, take your choice. Btw, your posts are way, way over the top on being able to not have your name there. It's not close.

Done. This entire thread is over the top. The OP should be a Broadway Musical.

I'm not sure what "being a man" involves in your book, but in mine it doesn't involve insults and does involve paying your debts promptly. Thanks for showing up to prove the OP to be in the right. If you aren't going to have time to pay (which is a ridiculous argument), don't buy the card.

I didn't buy the card. It was sold by the time I returned home.

In my experience on the BST I've had nothing but stellar transactions. There have been a few times where I've PM'd the seller something to the effect of: "I'd love the card, can I pay you in 3 day?" Never had a seller say no. I think as long as the expectations are made clear then everyone is happy.

I am a dealer. I am a collector.
As a dealer I buy and sell to make a living. To put food on the table, to pay my rent, to take a vacation, to go to a Mets game.
When someone says to me "I will take it." I put that item aside for them and tell any other potential buyers that the item is sold.
When that initial buyer does not pay in a reasonable amount of time I contact them. When they do not respond I contact them again. This is over the time span of a few days.
By the time I realize that the initial buyer has reneged the second or third buyers could be long gone.
So now I still have the item and no sale.
It has been my experience that when a buyer renegs HE NEVER lets me know about it. NEVER.
Common courtesy is out the door in these instances. All I would expect is an e mail saying, sorry I don't have the money now, I thought I would have it but I do not or sorry I just changed my mind. Just common courtesy and communication.
But renegers NEVER DO THAT. NEVER.
A Net54 member recently did this to me on a $1500 item, which eventually did sell on the bay.
My two cents in this matter.

Whether it's here or on eBay, if I know I am about to travel and and may be delayed a few days in paying or shipping an item, I simply say as much at the time the deal is done. Problem solved. Communication. I totally understand someone getting pissed off not hearing from the other side for days. If there is something on the horizon that might occasion a delay just say that.
