Thanks!

 

just sharing so everyone knows Holmes is on the up and up. Im fine  with however he wants to proceed.

[Holmes]

Not being an expert I have to say that Dem is correct and that in the spirit of the board he should get it. I messaged him with the details and an apology. I don't sell often and am not as familiar with the protocols as I should be. Going forward i will be more precise. 

 

Apologies to all

[miraclemet]

no worries!

 

(and i apparently dont know how screen shot to show the time of our pms!)

I would do it for you though...as long as it's something I don;t need myself !!!

We need an Archie 50 on the boards auction style.

That would eliminate the  and the  and the  .

I have read all of the posts, and I think dem1138 should get it.

Thanks for letting me know my attorney needs to review any of my sales threads.

Why PM "I'll take it" via PM?

So as not to let others know you bought it?

Now everyone knows Miraclemet took it via PM.

Why didn't miraclemet just post "I'll take it"

 

 

[icefires]

Why did he have to send a PM?

He could have posted

 (as long as PQ is CR/OW)

Thanks!

Publicly.

Judging by the PM's he so kindly posted, it seems clear that he had a few questions before committing to buy, such as the PQ (which wasn't clear in the image) and whether the defect on Archie's photo was a tape pull.

Nothing wrong whatsoever with taking a book via pm, it happens all the time and for various reasons.

You need to explicitly state that PMs can trump the in the thread otherwise  automatically trumps anything else.

That's not true. It doesn't default to that if there's nothing written.

I pretty much hate PM's in a sales thread. Sure, ask questions per PM, but when you want it or seller agrees to sell it for less, either the seller should post "Sold per PM" or the buyer should post "I'll take it" in the thread.

1st PUBLIC "I'll take It" or "Sold per PM" wins. Period dot.

The time stamp business pretty much sucks.

He didn't have to, and the seller didn't require  the take it to be in the thread. 

Buyers can and do send PM's for various reasons, and none of them make their communication inferior to publicly posted communication unless the seller himself states they are inferior explicitly.

Your opinion. 

No, actually, there's no rule that requires one form of communication to be superior to another unless explicitly stated as such in the sellers terms of sale.

Here the seller said  "First :take it: wins"

He didn't say WHERE it had to be sent, just that it had to be FIRST.

The rest is speculation.

You can feel free to run your sales threads in any way you see fit. 

What you can't do is impose your way of doing business on how other people choose to do business within the rules of these boards.

The time stamp is settled practice and is the fairest possible way to see who got in first, who committed first, and who gets the book. The rest is, frankly, the second one through the door attempting to lawyer the thread to his advantage and create language and rules that don't exist. AKA Sour Grapes, and it's garbage that this seller has to feel pressured and cornered into changing the equitable and fully justified manner in which he ran his thread and determined the new owner of the book.

And the qualified was the exact same qualification for both the first guy in line and the second, which eliminates speculation between qualified and unqualified purchases.

Given how sure you were that the seller here violated them I was positive that you knew what they were....
