I know. I'm just chiming in is all. I like to chime. I get the meaning of your original post. 1 right doesn't correct multiple wrongs either. (thumbs u

[divad]

Gotta throw this out there - not a probation list offense, as I am forgiving his non-payment due to "unexpected" circumstances "outta (his) hands" - Taz007 is apparently having some financial difficulties, car wreck, etc.

 

Unfortunately, I don't get the impression he takes it (non-payment) very seriously either.

 

He also had me pull a book from my ebay store about 2 months ago with promise of payment.I never recieved payment and later sold the book back on ebay.

 

Perhaps we should see who else chimes in . . .

 

Man, why am I always involved in these things

 

When the VCC was going on, Taz PM'ed me and asked whether it would be ok for him to grab a bunch of books and then pay "1-2 weeks later". I said sure. He lated added some more books from my recent For Sale thread, and I was just about to shoot him a reminder for payment (because it's been 3 weeks now) when I received this PM:

 

Ay Micheal,

 

I don't quit know how to put this but my car was totaled yesterday by some crazy drunkard so i won't be able to buy any of those books off you. i was meaning to right you sooner but got caught up in school work and such. I really need to buy a replacement car asap before fall semester starts so i have to sell all my books and cant buy any of the books i already committed to buy. Hope you don't hold this against me in the future dude.

 

Lucas

 

Perhaps it's just me, but I fail to see the humor in this situation ...

 

Michael,

That pretty much echoes what I received.

As an uninvolved bystander, I see it as ranking up there with the dog ate my homework excuse.

 

First off, a drunk hit his car, was he insured? was it a hit and run? does he have insurance? Since he was not at fault, the drunk would have to pay for the damages with no out of pocket to the owner of the parked vehicle. If it was a hit and run and he has no insurance, then it might be a different story, but as it stands the whole story is too weak and smells foul.

 

Why can't people be honest and say, I made a mistake, I can't afford those books right now, I thought I could, but I was wrong. To me, an excuse is worse than just telling the truth in most cases.

 

over, continue on

I never committed to buying that book, hmm now I know where all that hostility was coming from.

Why would I do that to multiple people all at the same time?

Why would I sell all my books that I have spent months tracking down for close to nothing compared to what I payed for them?

I was at the movies and my car was parked in the first row of cars, when we came out my hole front-end was smashed in. I said it was smashed by some random drunkard cause I didn't see it go down and the angle of the hit had to come from somebody whipping in at 20+ MPH cause my car was in the other lain. I know this is your guys only way of keeping this site safe to buy and sell in but I really don't appreciative you all jumping down my throat for something that I really couldn't control.

Ive said it before and Ill say it now in earnest. You would do well to not post bs like this on the boards and just deal privately with the people involved. Today, now more than ever before considering recent events, you will find few if any sympathetic ears and are likely just to fan the flames of your own pyre.

 

Take my advice and deal with the issue quietly.

Hey man, I'm not the one that put this on the probation thread. We have talked this over privately, they just decided to put it up here.

California requires that all motorist carry automobile insurance at all times. It doesn't matter whether or not you find the guy who hit you. If you are in California (as your profile says you are) you have to have insurance, and you can file a claim for your loss regardless of whether you find who did this.

 

You should have filed a hit and run accident report with the PD, and you can give that to your insurance company and what for the adjuster to send you your check.

 

If your car was parked and he hit your car hard enough to total it, his car would not be driveable unless you were driving a go-cart and he was driving and M-1 Abrams. That's pretty much a fact. Without your car being in motion, all of the momentum and force would be coming from his car and to destroy your car it's more than likely his car would be sitting there smoking next to yours when you came out.

 

So it's possible your car was not totally destroyed and you "might" be able to get the insurance company to repair it. Either way if your car was destroyed in a parking lot by a car going 20 or so miles an hour might I suggest you not buy that same brand of death trap.

 

Your insurance should cover it either way. Then you can keep your comics, get your replacement car, and still keep all your commitments without reneging.

Thanks for the positive comment dude.

Well I'm done talking about this but I don't have insurance, I'm a full time student and do what I can even if it does bite me in the in the end. I was driving a 89 Toyota corolla btw, which only cost me 1k two years ago and fixing that kinda damage would cost me three of my cars.

So not only are you an ininsured motorist by choice you freely purchase comics instead of following the rules and getting yourself insured. You are going to college, right? They teach you things in college, right? Who is paying for college? No wonder California is broke.

 

Now I'm just pissed off at you. Pay the man what you owe, get yourself insured and quit buying comics until you graduate life.

Just a comment - if someone asks me to pull a book down off of an auction site I had it listed on and asked to pay a little later,, to my mind, that is the other person "committing to buy the book." The seller would be doing the buyer a favour by not letting anyone else have the opportunity to buy said book, and backing out of it, for any reason, is screwing the seller.

You spelled "favour" correctly. Are you a Commonwealth ex-pat living in the States?
