Eerie #41 VF gorgeous $35 SOLD!

scanning now. going to post a bunch more today. thanks for the takes so far!

Sure

Good

Everyone thankfully got their books. The sellers lack of communication, while not against any rules, is still unacceptable. Don’t do business with them again. The end. The time it took to type that out is about all the energy this situation deserved. It was no more serious than that. First world problems of the highest degree.

Oh

Uh oh. CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL!

Uh oh. We have a “PERIOD” sighting. Nothing says “argument over” like “PERIOD!”

That's a great cover, too

price on TTA 98?

where is the block button? serious question NM, I found it. good riddance to bad rubbish

right. absolutely no reason to even be discussing this. Thread was just started by someone who wanted to be right and to drum up more drama.

You excel at putting words into the mouths of others and deliberately obfuscating the issue, I'll give you that. I said the rules are that you must give the other party 30 days for the transaction to be completed. It should be obvious to anyone not being disingenuous that if you don't receive a reply from a seller (in your example) after 29 days but receive the book(s) as agreed on the 30th day, transaction completed and over. You can then choose to not do business with that person again, and that would be perfectly reasonable of you. If you don't receive a reply for 29 days and then also don't receive your books within the 30 day timeframe or there is another issue if/when you do receive your stuff, then that is what we have this sub-forum for. You seem like someone who just likes to argue. Everyone forum seems to have them. Good luck with your crusade!

I could and do agree with you that if the seller (or buyer, whoever) is ABLE they SHOULD communicate in a timely fashion. But sometimes people cannot and are given the benefit of the doubt, which is literally why the rules are for 30 days. It simply does not matter that someone doesn't respond to you in one, or two, or even three days (just going by your extremely strict standards here) whether or not they are in the middle of a blizzard or just didn't feel like it. What matters is whether the transactions are completed and no one gets screwed. Then you can make a personal decision as to whether or not to do business with someone who doesn't communicate well. The rules are fine as they are.

You should petition to have the probation rules changed because clearly what you personally think they should be and what the rules actually are, are not in alignment.

I didn't think it was possible to so severely misread a room!

This is my favorite of the thread so far, but there have been a ton of great ones. I know nothing about them and feel my ADHD kicking in pretty hard. grats to all the buyers so far!

ya people often use the "online now" or last active info to support their case in disputes as evidence they are being ignored, and while sometimes it ends being true it isn't always the case and isn't reliable evidence.

Said no one ever

glad you've received your books A ok.

No one is defending anything or flipping any tables. I can't possibly be rolling my eyes any harder in your direction. Nothing you said here adds anything constructive to the thread.

It's just that there is a process in place for us to self police the sales forum, for all sides to have their opportunity to say their piece and that process was pretty much crapped on in this thread.

It 100% has been a terrible look. Its the worst thread I can remember ever seeing in the sales forums; and without any hard facts and evidence regarding the sellers situation or true intent, I think the dog piling went way overboard and far too quickly. It has not been a civil thread by any stretch of the imagination, not even remotely up to the standards this forum should be striving for. The mods literally had to move it here because people couldn't help themselves and continued to blow up If it turns out this guy, or someone else pretending to be him, indeed attempted a rip off job then rage on! But in the meantime, put the pitchforks away and grow up. Regarding his being "active" on the forums, its meaningless. There are many reasons that might have caused his profile to show active without him actually being on the forums. He isn't posting anywhere else on the boards, we only have evidence of his replying one private message. We don't know he hasn't replied to more. It's also perfectly possible that he saw the lynch mob and doesn't know how to respond. That's just conjecture on my part, but since he's not been given due process I'd not be surprised to learn he is gun-shy about responding to any allegations. Maybe it turns out he's just a lazy person_who_is_obnoxiously_self-impressed frog who didn't take his sales thread seriously, but maybe wait til we know that before causing all this silly kerfuffle. And also again, unless you paid a total unknown a bunch of money with no protection (check, PP F&F, etc), there's even less reason to have nuked this thread and the reputation of the sales forum. Be angry and disappointed, sure. but have a meltdown? Try meditation instead.
