CGC discussion boards talking to Greg :

The ol' bully card.

I wish I would have seen his last post. Sounds entertaining.

[Buzzetta]

He has made my do not sell to list early.

Good Friday everyone

 

I am the buyer of Avengers 57 from SFHeroBoyGreg. I know many are wondering why I had chosen to stay anonymous.

 

I had hope that this issue would resolve itself quickly, with me getting a refund immediately after I requested it but that has not taken place. Its been my belief that many issues can be resolved privately and without much of a circus between the buyer and seller but unfortunately that hasn't happened here.

 

Some facts have been already been stated by board members who I have shared the information with.

 

I contacted the seller, inquired about restoration to which the seller said he was not aware of any restoration. I asked about payment terms and he requested at least $150 down to hold the book. I wanted to send the money in the morning (as I was in bed on my phone) but the seller insisted that I pay immediately to hold the book (2:20 am EST Sunday 4/5/15 ) which I did

 

I contacted the seller and requested a refund when the comments about color touch and trimming began to circulate in the morning which confirmed my suspicions from the night before.

 

Since then, I've sent numerous messages to the seller requesting my money back to which the seller has agreed to but cannot complete due to insufficient funds. He has promised to return my money but has not given me a specific date as to when.

 

Earlier today he mentioned that my staying anonymous has hurt his reputation on the boards as people have doubted if there truly was a seller. He's asked me to come here and confirm that I am the buyer, to be the hero and salvage his reputation that I've damaged by staying anonymous.

 

Well here I am, being the hero he is asking me to be.

 

My goal was to eliminate much of the circus, and resolve this between each other as I believe most transactions should be handled. My goal is to get my money back that's all.

 

I wish we had more new board members like him. I mean really how refreshing.

Fixed my bad.

update. Seller removed themselves from our PM discussion. Says he does not have the funds for refund and it's out of his hands and in paypal's hands

 

I've escalated the issue with Paypal to a claim

Wow.

 

Hope Paypal can resolve this swiftly for you. The book was never even shipped, correct? He just took the deposit and ran?

 

 

[faster friends]

Just wow. To ruin your reputation for peanuts.

[Semicentennial]

Not cool at all. Hope you get your money back.

[crassus]

Not cool at all. Hope you get your money back.

 

How long does a claim such as this take typically to process?

Wow...just wow.

 

Is this worthy of the HOS? This situation just keeps getting worse.

[Ryan.]

Is direct thievery HoS worthy? I'd think so.

[CAHokie]

At the very least I think it eliminates the 30 day wait period for the Probation List.

I would think so...but I'm sure a couple of the bleeding hearts are chomping at the bit to defend him.

It won't be about bleeding hearts, it will likely be a repeat of the same argument about how bad the bad must be to qualify for HoS.

[jaybuck43]

My only thought is, whats the point? His name is ruined already. Throw his name on the PL and lets leave it done. He's already done here.
