Marvelfangirl Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 To add to the controversy, Gearbox was showing incredible demo footage at E3 and in trailers that was never in the game. Bait and switch. It's really a shame. Indeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronty Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Its ok I am a big boy I responded in kind back in 05 and I will have a couple things to say to the IRS if I so much as get a call from a lawyer. One of the benefits to actually reporting your sales when others dont. Gotta put these punks in their place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not quite the death threats of '05, ut its still comical So you wanted to sell something for a higher price after you've already been paid? If it's something rare, I'd consider taking you to court too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronty Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Cant win with you guys can I? Ilto say its a long story is an understatement. Its got nothing to do with sellimg for a higher price (i have no deal pending or planned) and its got everything to do with me being unsatisfied with the buyer's credentials and honesty subsequent to having received payment. I've come to learn this is not someone I want to business with and I'd say the lawsuit threat bore that out wouldnt you? But thx for the assumptions. Christ. I guess this is what I get for mentioning it. Thx guys its been fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dupont2005 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Someone cancelled my bid on a Fightstick because I was the only bidder and it was going to sell for $25 Why list it for $25 if you're not willing to sell it for $25? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronty Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I will let u guys debate that amomgst yourselves. I've been taught the error of my ways in thinking I could vent here after having some a-hole threaten me with a lawsuit. Back to ps4 I guess.

Bronty's original post would have benefitted from some more context. It sounded like he was refusing to sell something to someone because he a) got a better offer or b) didn't like them. If you've had that happen to you, you'd understand it's infuriating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comixroc Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 (edited) a lawsuit over an item that the seller refused to sell? If the buyer got his money back, who would go through the trouble to file a lawsuit? What's the most you can get out of victory in court? Even if they force the seller to sell the item, who's to say the seller still has it? And if the seller no longer has the item, then what? Have the seller pay damages? Minus the Attorney fee, is it really worth the trouble?? How much was the item in question??? Edited March 3, 2013 by Comixroc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
