Gruson Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Like I said, I felt bad but had made an offer on another big dollar book before this one and unfortunately had to back out since that deal happened On another note I didn’t really feel comfortable sending a check too but that is beside the point. I apologize. Hollywood1892 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dem1138 Posted March 23, 2021 Author Share Posted March 23, 2021 On the contrary, its not "beside the point" - its an actual point, as my rules clearly stated in #2: Rules: 1. I live in the LA vicinity and happy to do deals in person. Time payments are fine up to 1 month but PM me to work this out before you take a book and/or PM me if you need longer. 2. Payment by check or money order 3. First unconditional in thread wins the book. A post in the thread takes precedence over any PM sale that might be agreed to but not yet posted to the sales thread. I'm open to hearing offers via PM, but thread beats PM. 4. Shipping within the US included via UPS. US shipping only. 5. All books are slabbed by CGC. No returns on CGC books. 6. No HOS or probation boardies. 7. I've been on the boards for more than a decade - doing deals without hassle. Happy to provide references, if needed. I've also done deals with a wide variety of collectors and dealers for many years. 8. Please contact me if you want to run any scenario by me. I'm very responsive to PMs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It IS beside the point and completely irrelevant. It is in the seller's rules which you are expected to read before making a purchase. Don't make offers that you can't or won't honor. That's a real quick way to effectively lose your buying and selling privileges here because no one has time for that nonsense.

Popular Post KCOComics Posted March 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 23, 2021 @Gruson and @dem1138 Any chance you guys could work out a payment plan or something? Maybe give him a month to make good and chalk it up to a lesson learned? I feel like the PL has gotten a bit of a work out lately. Hopefully there is amicable solution?

Popular Post Ryan. Posted March 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 23, 2021 The amount of non paying buyers is getting absurd. I'm guessing for every one that is actually brought up for probation there are 100 cases that no one ever hears about. I am not being hyperbolic. fast eddie, SkOw, KCOComics and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funnybooks Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 This is quite cut and dry. @Gruson needs to honor his commitment to @dem1138 . I can appreciate that he stated a reason for backing out but it does not change the fact that he claimed the book as per the stated rules. If @dem1138is willing to accept payment over time, that may be the best resolution for all. ExNihilo, JWKyle and WolverineX 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombat Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 At least we don't have to hear from the "its only $10 crowd". So we have that going for us. CAHokie, porcupine48, iggykoopa and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a side note, I’m not a fan of sellers having to accept payments if that was not part of the original deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trying to come up with a solution. I mean come on guys, it's only $3600 after a 10% discount! CAHokie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

universal soldier Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 I see it is relisted in the thread: If that sells how can the buyer make the deal whole? Sweet book BTW... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post dem1138 Posted March 23, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 23, 2021 What sets these Boards apart is that the sanctity of the deal still exists and buyers and sellers need to honor a deal when a deal is made. I appreciate everyone's support here and if Gruson wants to honor the deal I'd be happy to give him time payments up to 30 days. I relisted the book because I have no expectations that he's going to honor the deal and I'd still like to sell the book.

fast eddie Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 It is becoming somewhat heartbreaking the amount of PL nominees being put forward,,,,,,,,,, I want to believe this community is a cut above all the BS that one encounters elsewhere,,,,,,,,, KCOComics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalPSI Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 From what I've heard the board was much more relaxed and dishonorable people were run off rather quickly before they could proliferate and start mucking about the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number 6 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 28 minutes ago, universal soldier said: I see it is relisted in the thread: If that sells how can the buyer make the deal whole? Sweet book BTW... So a seller is supposed to hold on to a book that he wants to sell indefinitely just so a buyer who couldn’t get his act together will hopefully someday snap out of it and there won’t be any other Cool Books to distract him from finally completing the deal? Earlier it was was speculated that for every non-paying buyer who get’s brought up there’s probably hundreds who don’t. I suspect this is probably why: seller’s just want get their book sold, not have their hands tied by all the hand-wringing and pearl-clutching over how a buyer who at moment couldn’t care less will eventually get off the list.
