Popular Post Polonsky Posted March 3, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 3, 2021 Update from Beautiful New Jersey: It is a gorgeous day outside, beyond beautiful. If you haven't been outside yet, I highly recommend it. There was no check at my P.o. box today. I have no comment as to the involvement of Einstein Rosen bridges, as I don't fully understand the physics. I do understand the physics of paypal, and hope @Top City Comics will be able to paypal me $1,580 today, with the ease and simplicity I have found in my other 99.9% of transactions.

I will say that I think the discourse could be better from all sides. I find the above post a little rich given that Polonsky initially sent his payment by check (with the expectation of shipment prior to the check's arrival) and is now talking of the "ease and simplicity" of paypal. We should all remember that Polonsky initially wanted the book shipped quickly so he could flip it to his third party buyer, and then once the third party backed out Polonsky then decided he no longer wanted the book. I think its important to remember here that neither @Top City Comicsnor @Polonsky are 100% blameless. So I find the snide remarks distasteful. As to @BuscemasAvengers he actually is 100% blameless and I hope he is made whole ASAP. It sounds like things are progressing in the right direction. My Edited March 3, 2021 by Red84 removed paypal address in case Polonsky wants to remove that information later Number 6 and duplicatecomics 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My I am just in a great mood today, with the weather and packages arriving and other various factors. I do not mean to be too snide, but I will tone it down moving forward. I still do admit I was not 100% perfect in my situation, like I believe Tim to be. I do want to point out that I sent payment after my third party canceled, and stayed on board for 12 days while waiting for tracking I continued to think was coming, and poor/ no communication. I do believe this absolves me of backing out due to my third party leaving, but I encourage all who read this to make up their own mind. ttfitz and Funnybooks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedcake Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 yeah, we have all read the thread and despite any subjectively "snide comments" it remains 100% clear that Polonsky is still owed his money. TopCity agreed to make him whole within a certain timeframe and we have reached that line. badback83 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there was anything wrong with your post, New Jersey is beautiful. Seriously though I think I either bought and/or sold to both of you in the past with no issue so will stay out of the fray in general but given the current situation if I was the seller I would have spent the .50 or $1 to add tracking to that check to avoid the back and forth.

This is not entirely accurate if you re-read the beginning of the thread...it does become very convoluted and confusing.... "neither @Top City Comicsnor @Polonsky are 100% blameless." This is accurate as both parties have acknowledged wrongdoing, but, @Polonsky is clearly the aggrieved member of this dispute ttfitz, ThothAmon, Red84 and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you mentioned there was blame to both sides, but in fairness, TCC's joking tones earlier in this thread were just as out of place, if not more so. Given how long the process has taken, I don't think you could really fault Polonsky if his patience is beginning to wear thin and he makes a little wise crack here and there. 27 minutes ago, Polonsky said: poor/ no communication I said it before and I'll reiterate it again, this is one of the faults that both sides are guilty of. Both parties are to blame for the back and forth regarding the address. TCC knew he was going to need the address to ship on time and should have asked for it. You knew TCC didn't have your address and should have reached out to provide it. When I cement a deal, payment and address are the first two things I provide within a day of invoice. (Side note, I know you cc'd TCC, but given his prior statement that he doesn't "read the boards", perhaps a PM or a reminder via Instagram would be more beneficial. Otherwise, I can just see him coming back and claiming he didn't see this post until next week.) 20 minutes ago, MustEatBrains said: I don't think there was anything wrong with your post, New Jersey is beautiful.

It's yet to be an issue. If it's a trusted seller, I too prefer payment via check. Books are expensive, I don't like paying another 3% in PayPal fees. (And yes, I realize the fallacy in believing in a "trusted seller" given the actions we've seen from two recent boardies.) thewritestuff and Number 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
