This is a tough situation. Normally, the first offer at full price by the date stamp is entitled to the merchandise. If it's under priced, well the seller won't make that mistake again. Several have done this and carried through with the sale. However, the statement at the end of the thread, posted by Noah, but not written by him, makes sense. I'm glad I wasn't the author of that statement, though, for obvious reasons. But, I guess we need those kind of people, too.

I'd say write it off if you weren't directly involved. If the second poster on the thread wanted to push for legal action, he may have a chance, but again, I'd let it go.

I've had my scrapes here and been so pissed that I said I'd never come back.....twice. But, here I am; it is what it is. Sometimes the lowest common denominator rule prevails around here. I mean, it ain't church. We don't have to take each other out to dinner.

Just because I'd like others to smile at me when and if we meet, doesn't mean all feel that way. I'd say about half here don't and never will.

I've been brutally ripped off here twice. One seller will never come back, I'm pretty sure of that. The other damn well better never ever sell anything like what he sold me, or I'll come unglued and expose him for the"entrepreneur" that he is.

The best thing you can do about people like this is work behind the scenes and PM or email any potential buyers that post on their threads. That way, there is no dirty laundry hung out and the bad guys don't know you're sabotaging them. I've been doing this for 2 years.
