Not a done deal, I don't think anyone's said that. but it can be an agreement to perform further acts. I don't think there's any doubt that this seller agreed to provide scans to him and agreed to the buyers price and that, if the back cover scan was acceptable, that the deal was done. Those extra acts he agreed to perform were an agreement unto themselves. Buyers buying a house can place contingencies on a contract that allows them to walk away clean...that's still a binding contract. Here it's not so complicated. He agreed to do something and failed to do so. Cut and dry. Personally I still come back to the fact the buyer really has no skin in the game here. In saying that I don't think it was "right" for the seller not to provide the scans they said they would provide and it seems like the answer is they just took more money.

If one side can back out arbitrarily that doesn't sound like a done deal to me. Certainly not from a buying on a forum situation. In the real world? I have no clue.

That is likely, but again it will come down to what exactly is binding in a "pending" (meaning conditional) sale. Agreed. And I am in no way saying I agree with how the seller conducted himself.

I'm guessing there was a price negotiation in the PM that was lower than the i'll take it in the thread.

I have looked on statue forum a few times. Seems like there wasn't much there.

If anyone is looking for the Sideshow Daredevil Legendary Scale bust someone is selling them in the mixed section. Seems like a good price. http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=8872985#Post8872985

I'm hoping, but delays are already coming. This is from ARH.

Paypal should be able to get you your money back.

I always like the Sideshow Michael Keaton.

Original ship dates don't mean very much in statue land. They can be delayed a really long time. Have any shipped yet?

8 months later and still waiting. Really? Why would they convert you to an order if they didn't have one for you? Just because you are converted doesn't mean it is ready to ship. That's odd. I wonder why. Let's say a statue has an estimated shipping date of 8 months from preorder. Let's say it sells out in 2 weeks. You put your name on the waitlist after 4 weeks. Some people cancel after 6 weeks and you get converted to a pre order.

My wallet and my wife thank you.

Any celebrity SS?

Cool. They can hang out with my childhood dog. I bet he was really happy on that farm.

Mega sharks vs. Mecha sharks

Let's not forget the age old supergirl vs. wonder woman debate.

Enforcing rules in the sales forum.

Very nice.

I don't sell on here, but if I did I doubt I would be showing any PMs in that situation. If someone didn't want to believe me then I would be happy to be added to their personal list.

If this is the type of thing that bothers someone you can simply choose not to participate in sales threads where it is acceptable to take it via PM.
