Why bother saying anything

;-( apparently I was wrong for bringing it up

I guess maybe I've just had the "don't trust anyone trying to do business after the auction ends" pounded into my head so well I assume a seller would just tell me to go pound sand. I saw an auction end no bid recently and messaged the seller asking to send me a message if he relisted, which thankfully he did and I got the item after all was said and done. I don't sell on ebay, is this a normal thing that people do?
 
I am the douche!!!!! I was just informed by him that he let the collecting community know. He had an auction for 1 dollar and 15 dollar shipping end with out any bids. I emailed him and told him if he was interested in selling it that I would buy it from him. He emails me back and says, sure for 40 bucks you can have it all.


I guess I dont understand his concept of charging three times what it DID NOT sell for on ebay. Heck I was going to give him 20 bucks, but instead he tells me 40.


Kinda seems like YOU are the douche!
 
Strong arm you? Are you kidding, i was offering to pay you for a broken pcb board and more than you were unable to sell it for on ebay. If interested pm me for my phone number as I will be happy to discuss your attempted slander over the phone. Maybe I can understand where you are coming from, but as of right now I don't see how you could offer to sell me something for triple your failed ebay auction starting bid.
 
Seems to me from what little of the story we have both of you are wrong.

Brokenarcade, if you didn't like his price, all you have to do is say no thanks, DONE. Nobody owes you anything, regardless of whether or not they're asking 7 times the price. That's none of your concern. If you don't like it, just say no and leave it at that. Don't escalate the situation, even if the seller doesn't handle it properly. It's not worth it. A sarcastic reply like "might as well ask 80" is asking for a fight.

Deadpool66, you should be ashamed for starting such an idiotic thread. So the guy didn't like your price and said so. Big whooptie doo. Take a look in the mirror and ask yourself why you're so enraged over something so trivial. All you have to say is this is the price, take it or leave it. If the answer is anything less than yes or no, ignore it. You make yourself look like a fool posting this.

Really, what you both should do is apologize for the way you handled it. Both of you blew things way out of proportion over the stupidest thing. Half the fights in this community wouldn't occur if people would use some common sense. Everyone always has to get the last word in, for what? What are you gaining? Once the situation turns and you don't like how it's headed, just say no longer interested and cease communication. PROBLEM SOLVED.
 
My offical response to him was this:


40? heck make it 80. why would i give you 40 bucks for something that did not sell for 16 shipped?





That is all i said and left it at that. Next thing i know i get two emails from the guy saying he is letting the community know. blah blah blah



I just came here to give the info. I could careless, just don't need my ebay name black balled from klovers so to say.


Also I do not think his shipping is out of hand, 15 bucks is not bad to ship everything he was going to ship.
 
Wow,more ebay-related insanity. Forget road rage.....ebay rage! Seriously though,I think everything can be solved if both parties take a step back and let things cool off. Hopefully you guys can work things out peacefully.

From the look of things, I doubt they'll be holding hands any time soon.


On occasion, I'll send a crappy retort to an ebay seller, but they usually just ignore me...and that's what I expect.
 
eh, not mad about it. I was just kind of suprised that he informed me he was going to post something about this. Figured I would get my fix of arguing and fill everyone in

I think he was expecting support and is getting the opposite. Funny that you are a registered member on the forum and were able to defend yourself.
 
Yeah, I am gonna have to ask both of you guys to come in and work this saturday.
 
I'm with Brokenarcade on this one. I went through a similar situation not too long ago. Here's what it boils down to... Deadpool, you want money. You wouldn't be selling your stuff otherwise. I'm willing to bet that you're looking for money a little harder than Brokenarcade is looking for your board, especially considering your listing ended with no bids. Since you kinda depend on money to live (and Brokenarcade could probably live without your product) you've got to be willing to put up with a little more BS before destroying a man's character. This is why they coined the praise, "The customer is always right." I'm not saying you have to accept his offer, but maybe just be willing to be a little more flexible before you go on a tirade.

Personal pet peeve:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slander

slander = spoken
libel = written

Why people cannot remember the difference between the two I have no idea. Not a slam on you, from the looks of the thread I would have declined but not posted a thread about it, I don't have some personal beef with you or anything, it's just something that drives me up the wall when I see it.

Don't get me started on slander vs libel. It's almost as bad as when people mix up centrifugal force with centripetal force.
