manetteska Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 So the next time this situation occurs do we cut that seller a break? jsilverjanet 1 Link to post Share on other sites
G G ® Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I can only comment on how I would deal with it, and I've already stated that. I have also stated that a seller here a coupla years ago did a deal with me, then reneged and sold it for a higher price. It was discussed, people were outraged at the time but I walked away. Sure I was p**ssed, but I thought, people do what they gotta. I strongly believe in karma. Actions have consequences. I let the universe even things out. Link to post Share on other sites

G G ® Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I must stress my opinions are totally unbiased. I have actually had more interaction with the buyer. I have never spoken to the seller to my knowledge in the eight numerical years I've been here. Link to post Share on other sites

According to Arch, a post can be made to warn people, if someone on the probation list is active in the marketplace. Link to post Share on other sites

Something else must be at play. All this witchburning, mob mentality and pitchfork sharpening does nobody any good, at a time when we all should be coming together.

I'm not tying to personally attack you, but you just seem to be constantly reaching for some reason why we should give the seller a break. And now you are just wildly speculating they he may have something going on in his personal life that is more important that completing this transaction. And if you really believe what you say about we should all be coming together then best course of action would be to not do anything that pulls us apart in the first place.

Why are you so desperate to justify what happened with some alternate reasoning when STARR's own words have already made it perfectly clear that this transaction fell apart due to seller's remorse, plain and simple.

The mob jabs are there because a lot of you are behaving like a mob. Frankly it's disgraceful behaviour and I'm surprised the mods haven't stepped in to stop it.
