Default The plot thickens

I just received an email (below) from Ryan and I always want to be as fair as possible, and if I make a mistake, I will be the first one to admit it and apologize. I just left a message for the person at Memory Lane who Ryan says he has been in touch with. I will update this thread with information as I receive it. Why does it always seem there is some long twisted explanation for these things? He did include an ebay winning email along with the explanation so we shall see.....

"
Leon, thanks for getting back to me and thanks for sending me that link on the CU. I hadn't even checked there today or saw that. That is really to bad if all that info is really posted because all that is a bunch of BS. I purchased that card from memory lane myself the other day. I have the emails that I was sent from memory lane and ebay sying that I won the auction. They actually negotiated back and forth and I accepted there counter proposal. After this was completed I received an email from Brad at memory lane saying he had made a mistake. he claims his director sold the card 2 weeks pevious and he forgot to take it off the site. i was dealing with brad all day yesterday for them to try and fix the situation and find me another card or sell me the other one they have, but is much more. So there was nothing illegal going on. I bought the card and I was selling it to Felicia who wanted to buy it. I don't know how she could have bought it if I did(they sent me the counter offer) and they also say they sold it two weeks ago. That doesn't make any sense. I can't believe that all my stuff was posted like that.

Not that I should have to, but I can forward my winning emails from ebay or whatever else I need to. Here is the winning invoice that I was sent from them. Nevermind that I have an email from ebay saying I won the auction as well as the recrords of offers and counteroffers and the emails from Brad at memry lane."

Interesting. I once had an experience with Memory Lane over eBay where I bought a card from them (via BIN) only to have them tell me later that they couldn't sell it to me at that price and it was a mistake.

This doesn't sound like a little mistake. It appears that this guy is trying to sell items that he does not have in his possession. It sounds like he gets in contact with people to find out their wants/needs and price, then contacts the original owner and negotiates a price so that the middle guys makes a buck.

I have no problem buying an item, then once you get it, you can do what you please. But you can not negotiate a price to a buyer if you do not have the item in hand.

I wonder what the timeline is between him agreeing to sell the card to Felicia and him winning the auction from Ebay?

Default Nice Catch Leon

That's two (that I know of) in a fairly short time. Guys like that are to NET54 what computer worms and viruses are to the internet at-large. Well done!

Now, about that Oklahoma oceanfront property....I'll take it if still available.

Rumor has it that Bubba and Dr. Koos are the same person. It's crazy.
