| Looks like negotiations fell through. I literally paid and was refunded. He missed my request for Goods & Services in our chat. I’m pretty bummed. I thought I’d finally made a deal. |

| He said he’ll pass. He’s not comfortable dealing with me cuz I’m new to their boards. I said he gets more protection with Goods & Services, not less. That seems to be the end of it. I told him I’ll keep looking. I’m legit sad, man. |

Quote:Originally Posted by 00slim Don't be, something about the deal is fishy if it fell through simply because he was demanding an unsecure form of payment. |

| The thing I thought was strange? In my request to go Goods & Services, I said I’d pay an additional $100 to help with the PayPal fees. Leaving him to pay (roughly) $74 of the $174. I thought I was being considerate. |

 I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie.

flanders private msg quote post Address this user | |
| I'm used to paying 13% seller fees between Paypal and Ebay so I'd gladly pay 3% anytime on a sale. There's something strange about the fact that he wasn't even willing to pay less than 1.5% for the transaction. I'd stay away from the guy. | ||

| @00slim you dodged a bullet I think. Like @EbaySeller @Darkseid_of_town and @flanders have stated, something is wrong here. That is not normal behaviour from someone legitimately wanting to sell. How on earth is a $74 fee on a $6K+ book disagreeable? Don't be sad... be happy, this possibly could have ended disastrously for you. |

| I'll only do F&F with people I've done business with before. I know it F&F isn't supposed to be used that way, but with some people I have that rapport. Everyone else gets G&S. Don't feel upset because this sounded kind fishy from the start. I think Bob Storms mentioned he listed a TOS 39 for sale on the High Grade Comics website. Not sure if you tried there. | ||

| @00slim $5K is a very solid offer on a $5250 priced book....you may even be able to offer a little less...$4900? | ||

| Yep. At the full price, after taxes, I’m in 4.0 price territory. That’s the only thing holding me back. If he’s work with me a little, I’d bite. His voicemail box is full, though. | ||

| @00slim it's a highly desirable book...the sellers have the upper hand because it will be sold at some point. From what I've seen $5250 is not a bad price...you can probably talk him down some as it's not everyday someone drops $5K on a book. I wish you luck because I know how badly you want this book. Even if you pay a little more than you wanted, know that in time the value of this book will increase and that difference wont matter to you and you'll be happy you've got the book....assuming this is for your collection for the long run and not being flipped. Good luck!!! | ||
