Number 6 Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 (edited) 6 minutes ago, Polonsky said: I would love to end this. I only want a check. I have attempted to be reasonable, and feel quite spit on by Top City. I would like the check by 2/20, unless there is a reasonable reason why it should be a later date. Based off the transactions I see him doing, this should not be an issue. I'm not sure why you're wanting to do everything by check, but you may want to insist on a cashiers check, otherwise...

And again...if I had written him a check where would I mail it to? He refused to give me his address as part of "the protest" he was staging. Why are you spending the customer's money before he has the books and you know he's happy? Chaz G., Larryw7, kairos70 and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you provide the shipping address other than on the envelope in which you sent the check? I thought I did as I usually always to to avoid this situation, but looking back in the conversation it looks like I messed up on that. I would still like to see my letter, as I always make an effort to avoid this and slow down while writing. It is possible both are messy, but I doubt it and would like to see.

So you claim that the agreement was for @Top City Comics to ship you the books the same day that you mailed the check but you never sent Top City your address before mailing the check. You see, there were mistakes made on both sides, so your indignation about Top City not sending the books when you sent the check was an impossibility because of your own actions. You should accept the books that you agreed to purchase. I also find your decision in the last hour to change your requested refund date from March 1st to February 20th to be problematic.

The address on the check is to my business. This address works, but I did write my P.o. box on return address and within my letter to him as it is where I ship things to. He had it for several days minimum before asking what the address said, after I had already canceled. He claimed this lack of information was delaying him.

Second: "My timeline"...or the actual factual timeline as it's otherwise known...is that everything was hunky-dory...he sent the check...I received it...didn't make it to the bank for a few days...then i deposited it and packaged his books up the same day. He out sent me a message trying to cancel the transaction later that same night. The check had already been deposited and was in my possession for LESS THAN A WEEK...not "several weeks" as he is claiming...it's just not true...and I debated on nominating him for backing out of the transaction like that, but let it go, & had conceded to sending him a refund...just like my previous messages to him had stated...just like the message I sent earlier today had re-stated...so I'm really not sure what all this is about, other than him wanting to vent and drag my name through the mud. "I do have sympathy, and told him to ship when he could. Top City Comics Replied: January 18 Sure, I think I can do that by tomorrow. Youre wanting to send a check instead of paypal/venmo then?" Buyer posted this. Is it accurate? It shows that you agreed to ship Jan 19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He only included the address in the envelope with the check so @Top City Comicscould not have shipped before the check arrived due to @Polonsky 's oversight.

I do admit some fault in this situation, but do not believe it should make me to accept the books from him. This is not to brag, but I have done millions in business on the boards over hundreds of transactions, and never had a slightly poor interaction. I sell a lot and buy a lot. I have never canceled and never considered it before. This transaction bothered me at several points for several reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to see both parties lower the temperature and resolve this. There is no bad guy here. Both parties made mistakes.

This is true, but if you sold a book to someone then agreed to ship it on a certain date, in other words intended to follow through, you would have realised on said date that you did not have the address and reached out to the buyer. ttfitz and thehumantorch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I was overestimating my ability to package that day...and when I attempted it simply wouldn't work...and again...I DID NOT HAVE THE BUYER'S ADDRESS UNTIL I RECEIVED HIS CHECK ON THE 25TH...and even then I could not discern between one digit in his P.O. Box...the "9" looked like it could be a "4" or a "9", and I didn't want to make that mistake without checking with him first. This was on the 2nd of Feb, I deposited his check & attempted to print his label but could not read the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but if time was really of the essence for the buyer asking for a book to be shipped BEFORE payment was received I would expect the buyer to make sure to provide his shipping information to facilitate that shipping.

I would hope anyone that reads how I canceled with you, would find it very poor on your part to even considering nominated me. Especially after the weeks of delays. I think you have showed your true colors here and I don't like them. I must go to bed now, but I will be back tomorrow and hope for resolution. Can you send payment by 2/20? 3/1? You just admitted you could at any time, but didn't because I "stonewalled" you. You need to read the dealer's handbook. I have not seen a single thing through any part of any interaction dating back a month to show any professionalism. I will not debate with you any more as I find it is very petty, and I mean it when I say I hate drama. I brought you here because You have my money and you're spending it. You have admitted you had no intentions of paying me any time soon, and that was the vibe I was getting. I will be happy to answer any ones questions, and hope this can be resolved by tomorrow. I need to go to sleep now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I agree...but I was hopped up on pain meds & too immobilized to do a dang thing with business for a few days at that point...it definitely set me back.... But I think the main fact we're overlooking here is that I literally didn't have his address IN ANY FORM until the check arrived on the 26th of January (or there abouts)...and didn't notice it had been written so poorly that I couldn't tell the difference between his 4's & 9's until I deposited the check & packaged his books on the 2nd of Feb. Annnnnd he's pissed off that I didn't ship on the 19th??? Come on man....you literally didn't give me your address until a week after that....

I messed up and forgot to send you my address. I can easily go about my day without even realizing. You said you would ship the 19. You knew you didn't have my address, and you didn't tell me until 2/2. That is two weeks you sat there doing nothing. My fault on that is very low, and I think that is why everyone is overlooking it. They are most likely too busy being perplexed as to who you think you are fooling with your excuses. So can we achieve a resolution here? I'm all for it so we can all move on. ttfitz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
