Who's the A-hole?

[bnorth]

I have found in the baseball card collecting community we need to know both peoples names. The one who isn't the A-Hole is the one that is your friend or has given you better deals over the years.

How about none of the above?

It should be okay to disagree on stuff, and for the disagreement to take some time to figure out. That process doesn’t require anyone to be guilty of a-hattery.

Now if someone had done something egregious, like ignore the other party and refuse to engage, or get refunded but refuse to return the cards, then sure, plenty of hattery activities there.

If the other person comes on here with his perspective, this thread will get much more interesting. Right, Al ?

You clearly state:

The cards were priced individually. Buyer picked 20 cards that he wanted, negotiated a discount for the group, paid the money, got the cards.

That is the operative phrase to me. Once they were returned you start new negotiations on the 15 cards he found acceptable based on the original offer price.

Life is complicated, not every solution needs to be.

Ah, if only the cards had been slabbed and professionally graded. Transaction would have gone off without a hitch.

This is why a smart buyer always asks for a scan on raw cards. Then, he can't easily come back after receipt of the cards and say, "Wal gee Edgar . . ."

I think the buyer and seller negotiated and agreed on a deal. Nobody was compelled or under pressure to do the deal. The deal included individual price negotiation on each card and then a bulk discount.

I don’t think either is an asshole, but I certainly think seller was under no obligation to accommodate and I think his all or nothing (after the fact) offer, was more than fair.

Yes, it would be fun to see if he comments. He hasn't yet.

+1 , no assholes just people “doing business “ .. Perhaps doing business a little bit too hard but nothing to get wound up about , When there’s a “Lot” - there’s gonna be some differing opinions

I guess I took the "big argument ensues" to be more than just a differing of opinions.
