I'm just wondering if you guys think I still have a game sold or not. This isn't a deal gone bad thread or anything like that, but just figured I'd get your thoughts on whether or not you guys think I still have a deal done? This buyer isn't a regular KLOVer, and to be honest I haven't been bugging him about this at all. I figure if he still wants it, its here. The contest is below.

Timeline:

08/23/11 (email)

"That (the pics of the game) looks fantastic Joe. What are you looking to get for it?"

I told him the $$$ amount.

08/23/11 (email)

"Hello Joe. I'm very interested. What is your time frame? I can't get down there for a couple weeks. Is that a problem? I can send a partial payment this week to hold it for me if that helps. I'm working and I have to go back to NM on Friday night. I'll be back in a week and a half. Please let me know if that works for you."

I told him that's cool, and not to worry about a payment to hold it. It wasn't publicly for sale and it wasn't going anywhere.

Some time goes by and on 09/09 I received this email:

"Hey Joe. I just wanted to touch bases with you. I just got back. I've been working in the late evenings. Would you mind giving me your paypal id and I will start sending cash your way."

I gave him my PayPal addy, but never received any funds. No biggie though.

A few weeks pass and on 09/23 I send this email:

"Just checking in. Were you still thinking about grabbing this bad boy? No worries if not, I was just thinking of adding a game or two, but I wanted to make sure this one was gonna be gone first.

Hope you are well."

...and received this response:

"Yes. Ebay put a 21 day hold on my sale money and it comes available tomorrow. Supposedly. Its because I've only sold 2 items on ebay.

Sorry."

I told him not to worry about it and to send funds whenever he was ready. That was the last I heard from him. Again, Im in no hurry to sell anything and this was just kind of something that came up on a whim. Im not bashing this guy at all, I don't think he's a douche bag buyer, etc just wondering if you all think there is still a chance he picks it up?

Anyone want to start a pool? :D If he does pick it up, person closest to the actual date (without going over - example he picks it up 10/29 if someone has 10/28 they win over a person who has 10/30. If multiple people have the same date, whomever entered the guess first in this thread wins) gets a $20 paypal gift from me.

AGAIN, I am not going to contact this person and bug him about this, so its up to them if they still want it.

Who wants in?

Haha, you are probably right. Like I said, it wasnt a game I was looking to sell it just happened to come up. If it stays I wont be upset. Sure you dont wanna throw a date out there? $20 could be all yours.
 
Not sold. It isn't your paperboy is it? I'll load up for California right now!

I'll take the Friday after Thanksgiving for pool purposes.....

Nerd took my date but I'll go with 10/19/11 as pickup.

The dude sounds more green than anything but very much on the level.

He's actually got a garage full of games, and has done some SICK resto's. You *might* actually know him, but that's not important.

FUCK no.
 
10/16/11.

He sees this thread and completes the transaction in a week.

I'd like to parlay that with the time of the pick up, and I'll take the 1-4 pm block, predicting he shows up in that time, causing you to miss part of the Patriots game.

Im not sure he checks KLOV very much.

AGAIN, if he DOES see this its NOT a bashing thread. I don't think he is a bad guy AT ALL. Just curious to see if the game will stay or go and have a fun little contest to go with it.

Yeah, I know you're not bashing. I'm just guessing someone knows who it is, and about their plan to buy it, and PM's him about the thread.

So, yeah, I guess I have a 3 bet parlay - 1) someone notifies him of the thread 2) he picks it up Sunday 3) during the Pats game

I like your style. If all of this happens I'll give you an extra $10, ha.
