Buy/Sell/Trade problem with member

[eastonfalcon19]

So yesterday a member had signed baseballs for sale. I messaged him last night saying I would take the Gary Sheffield 96 AS ball for $10. At 9:53 he sent me a message back saying that it was all mine, send payment to his paypal. So today after work I jump on my computer to send him the payment and I get a message from the member saying that the Sheffield ball has been sold in a group lot to another memeber.

Let's just say that I will not be dealing with him anymore. Sorry for the rant!

Thank you,
Ron Vail

FWIW, the seller is a VERY trusted seller, I don't know the whole story but I've done dozens of deals with him and all was SUPER TOP NOTCH.

Greg, I've bought stuff from him as well in the past and never had an issue.

If I sell an item to somebody and then go and sell that item to someone else, I just don't think that's right but that's just me.

That really shouldn't happen. When someone says it's yours it should be yours.

Ron,
It's an unfortunate situation that should never happen. If someone says its yours, they should follow through with that. Anything else is poor business practice.
Best,

That sucks and there seems to be a rash of bad things from board members going on now.

Would like to hear an explanation from the seller as to what happened. 2 of my favorite memorabilia pieces were bought from him. Nothing else will be purchased till I hear a explanation.

Well, everyone knows it's me so let me explain my side. It was almost 24 hrs before I heard back so I sold to another member who paid immediately. I know the time frame seems fair but here's the deal, on this post alone, I had 3 different members inquire about items and say "I'll take it". After that, I never heard from any of them again. I will not name names or call anyone out as I just move on (not like some, apparently). This is not the only time this has happened, it happens more than I would like. I really can't believe someone started a thread to bitch about a $10 purchase.
