Dear vidgameseller,

Hello, how many of these games do you have? I'm looking to get as many as I can get my hands on in good condition and in working condition. I would hope to get them for a very good price if I would take most or all of what you have. Thanks Joe

Dear jovideojo,

I have more than you would be willing to buy. Im not sure what you think a really good price is, but i my machines are the best price ones out there. They are worth more parted out then what i am selling them for

Dear vidgameseller,

Well then I take that as a NO. You have no clue how many I would have been willing to buy. We'll seee how many you'll get rid of one at a time, and with that attitude. I'll talk to you 20 years from now when your done parting them out.

now i know that i have had an attitude at some point, thats life, but i dont think that i had one in the messages that i sent him. Then i started to think, and this user id "joviodipshit" sounds very familiar. and i go through my old ebay records and come to find out, this ass has bid and won a street fighter pinball from me andnever showed up after making 3 seperate appointments. here is the proff of that, which if you go through his ebay feedback you will see

SELLERS BEWARE !! Real deadbeat bidder wasted my time by not showing up 3 times Buyer: Member id jovideojo ( Feedback Score Of 147) Jan-14-08 03:08
Sharp Gottlieb Street Fighter 2 coin-operated pinball (#170176991270) --



so all this left me no choice but to reply to his last message with the following message


Dear jovideojo,

Im not sure why you would think that i have an attitude. But if your willing to buy 400+ machines, then i apologize. I have the best prices on buying quality working machines and have sold over 100 in the past month. And at my wholesale prices on bulk buys, you can part them out for double my price. Which i have parted out quite a few so i know that is a fact. It wont take me 20 years to sell them, ill have them all gone within a year. But now i just went through my records as your name was familiar, and your a deadbeat buyer, you won an auction i had and never paid, so i know for sure now that i have more than you can handle


- vidgameseller



OK, so now my rant is over, and i reccomend that you block this bidder from your sales as he is an asshole and i would not deal with him, and i like to take $ from whoever is willing to spend it

thanks
troy

You should have told him you would sell him a bunch and give him some ridiculously low price. Then set up a meeting at some remote location where the game "supposedly" are. When you don't show and he contacts you, make up some excuse and reschedule, then repeat over and over till he stops contacting you. Then he might get a taste of what it is like to waste someone's time over and over.

I'd put money on it.....if you shot him a ridiculously low price, he'd show (at least once). Assholes also seem to be pathetically stupid, and greedy.....makes for an easy situation to manipulate. Have fun!

Didn't seem to me like you had any "attitude" in either of your replies... but especially the first one. He upped the ante immediately. I concur... he's a dick... and I agree with Les Manley on what would have been a fun 'prank' to do. Maybe it's not too late. Send him another email being very contrite and accepting the blame for this spat... tell him you want to let "bygones be bygones" and then set him up.
 
I think you came off a bit curt like "I have what you want, just don't waste my time." Nothing wrong with that, but some people might get put-off. Personally I would've been "Great! I'll be over this afternoon with a trailer, hired help, and cash-in-hand!"
 
I didn't sense any attitude from your reply . Seems like jovideojo just snapped and got pissed from being bi polar .

:confused: If that's not copping an attitude, I don't know what is. The guy politely asked you 2 legitimate questions, neither of which you answered, and then you added insult to injury with the "parted out" comment.

Would it have been that difficult to say, "I have 400+ machines, the price is $x, or you can make me an offer." and just left it at that?

Sheesh. Just sayin'

Yeah, you could have gotten him there by saying

"I'll take $20 each but you have to buy all of them. If you'd like, I could let you pick up a sample game just to make sure this is what you're looking for. "

LOL

The guy's probably such a moron he'd believe it.
