We really need a set of those... 

I agree. Again sorry about the pole card. Saw that one earlier today and it was just too perfect not to use at that exact moment.  :roflmao::foryou:

So far on the cards I only have yours and Fingh..  we definitely still have many more to collect them all..

Although I think they would be even more awesome if they were their own.

CGC Boards Playing Cards. :idea:  (thumbsu

Now just to design and figure out who to put in the 1st Series.  Definitely need several Great and Horrible Cards..

Its hard to take the urgency of getting the books shipped when the check was mailed if the buyer never even bothered to send his address. And the buyer repeatedly giving more time only managed to make things much worse for himself. At some point you have to take some responsibility for your own actions. I still think the seller is stealing money at this point, but man the buyer could not have possibly made worse decisions throughout.

You eliminated the thirty day period when you agreed to expedite the order.  You reneged on that part of the deal to be honest... now... personally I would never have agreed to that term in the first place.  
 

His rudeness, real or perceived is irrelevant.  If it is real, then you would want to get him paid as quickly as possible and get him out of your life.  Regardless of personal interaction he is owed money or books.  At this point it’s best to give him the money because there can be no further dispute with the returned money. 
 

If the books are shipped at this point you are both tied to one another in the hopes that the recipient is satisfied on the grade of the books and they arrive in tact.  Since further dealings could be a recipe for disaster,  just pay him and both of you walk away. 

Sage advice my good sir!

I literally never said I wouldn't refund him...and by my math...we haven't actually gotten to the Feb 20th "deadline" that he imposed on said refund...so he obviously just opened this case out of spite/to give me a F U, and is clearly mis-using the probation list and what it is in place for...if I had stonewalled him, or refused to pay, or told him to "F OFF" it would obviously be justified, but none of those things happened, & he's just trying to run my name thru the mud or get me booted/placed on the PL as a personal vendetta...which is maybe a new nominatable offense???

Soooo, I hereby nominate @Polonsky to the Probation List....for abuse of Probation List Nomination!!

"Stealing money"?  How?  I offered to send his books 4-5 times...he stonewalled me & refused to give me his address...saying he'd only take a refund...and only via check...I said "fine"...he said "please refund by the 20th" like 9-10 days ago but still refused to give me his actual address until literally 3 days ago, which I first read yesterday...how exactly was I supposed to send the money OR the books to him before now?

Refused to give you his address? I would like to see that exchange.

 Happy to provide!

 Maybe "ignored my requests for confirmation of his address...and then didn't message me again for 8 days" is a better way to put it.

 Literally all I needed to know is if it was a "4" or a "9" that he wrote on the note for the P.O. Box number...(and the return address on the envelope was different so I couldn't double-check), he refused to tell me no matter how much I begged...

My apologies Lee, I have been without a car & working with a broken arm since the wreck 16 days ago, & literally just got a ride to deposit your check today, to cover a negative balance I had in my account from bills & such...so you should be seeing it hit your account tomorrow (Tuesday)

I then went to print your label before heading to the post office this evening but could not discern between a "4" or a "9" on your P.O. box from the yellow note you wrote & sent in the envelope :(, but your books are packaged up and sitting by the door & ready to roll out first thing in the morning, I just need to know if your P.O. Box is "243" or "293"

LMK, & you should have your books by Thursday.

Thanks, & sorry again for the delay!

-Adrian

I do understand and appreciate that things have been difficult to accomplish after a car accident, but this has been taking too long before then, and has been continuing  to take forever. I do see that the check was just cashed yesterday. When I had checked last night there was no notice of that. I felt slightly frustrated when the negotiations took over a week because you kept disappearing for a day here or there. It was slightly frustrating, but I tried to look past it and understand. Then I was told you would ship the same day I sent the check out, but now its weeks later, and you are saying it will still take some time before shipping. I have decided I would like a check shipped to me instead of the comics. If you are having some financial trouble, I can be paitent for about two weeks before cashing in the efforts to help you. I have never done this before, but I did approach you close to 4 weeks ago, and have felt this process slowly dragged out since then.

-Lee

Yes, I usually wait until the check clear before shipping, but it did take me some time to get it to the bank, and I do apologize for that.  And yes, I am in extreme debt at the moment, as I don't have health insurance, and had to go to the emergency room...so it has set me back immensely and I will be fighting an uphill battle to pay that off already, so it might take me a long while to be able to pay you back :(

  I was planning on shipping them last week but had been waiting on USPS to deliver mailing boxes for at least 3 weeks myself, but had my mailman bring me a batch specifically, which arrived on Saturday, so I am good to go now.  

 I implore you to have one more ounce of patience with me, as I can get the books out to you well before I would be able to get money back to you...and I don't mind adding in a bonus raw pch book if need be, as I want you to be happy with the transaction, & know it has been painstaking to say the least.

I'm happy to give you a free book for your trouble, and I assure you that they will be mailed out within the next couple hours if you just send me the correct P.O. Box number...I feel this will be completed much faster if I just send the books out today rather than trying to come up with the money while having the huge medical bills weighing me down...

Please accept my sincerest apologies for the delay, & allow me to rectify the situation by adding a bonus book or two.

LMK if that sounds ok to you, & I will 100% get them in the mail today, and you should have them in hand within the next 2 days.

Cordially,

Adrian

I also just found out today that I will be spending over $5k on lawyer's fees, 35% of which are due this week...so I will be scrambling to even be able to come up with that on top of the medical bills & attempting to get a working car (mine was totaled in the wreck)...so it will be tough to refund anytime soon :/

I apologize again for not having them out sooner...I just started half-way using my arm again last week (my right shoulder was demolished in the wreck with a broken clavicle to boot), and packaging books has been an uphill battle to say the least.  I am backlogged on it to the tune of 10-15 packages that still need to be boxed up & shipped, but yours are ready to go out today, as they were first in line to be shipped.

Please accept my apology & allow me to complete this transaction today :foryou:

I still wish to cancel. There has just been too much with this transaction that has out me off. I do have sympathy to your situation with the accident, but I was already  feeling the frustration here before then. You did tell me you would ship three weeks ago before even receiving the check, which I appreciated greatly, but now see you had no intentions of doing so. I know these are unprecedented times, but I do find it wrong to have so many offerings, with no method to ship within the month. I would assume I am not the only one feeling the frustration. I am a very young man with a degenerative back and have alredy had multiple surgeries and live a life of constant pain, and will forever, so I do have sympathy, but I do think the issues go beyond just the accident. I do not want this cancellation to be a burden on you, and will be happy to give you about 3 weeks to return payment by 2/20. Let me know if I can help, as I do not want this to be a big deal for you, but I do need to cancel, and I do need payment back by then. Thank you.

 

-Lee

Thank you. I would like to hear from the buyer. From what was posted above you were made aware the seller was looking for clarification of your address on February 2nd. When did you confirm your address to him?

 Actually...I think maybe now that I finally have his actual verified address I'll just go ahead & ship him the books, especially considering the 30-day rule states that he has no formal complaint whatsoever as long as they arrive this week.

:devil:

You're not looking real good here.

So let me see if I got this straight:

  1. You were in a car wreck, had to go to the E.R. and racked up a big bill there which makes it difficult to refund the customer.
  2. You broke your arm in the wreck and now it's difficult to package books in a timely manner.
  3. You also didn't have the mailing boxes you needed in order to package the books in a timely manner.
  4. You car was totaled in the wreck and made it difficult to get to the post office in a timely manner.
  5. The mailing address that was provided was too difficult for you to read, so you couldn't mail the books in a timely manner.
  6. You spent your customers money before mailing out the books, which makes it difficult to refund the customer.
  7. On top of medical bills, you owe lawyer fees and over 20k to Comiclink, which also makes it difficult to refund the customer.

I'm glad I wasn't a dinosaur standing next to you 65 million years ago.

Touche' sir, I was not having a great month.

Also extremely pleased that it can all be public knowledge for you to mock about with.

I think the biggest thing that you're missing there is that I never said I wouldn't refund the customer...he literally didn't provide me with his address until 3 days ago...and his "deadline" wasn't for another week...so I really am at a loss as to what we're doing here....

1. Did I ever say that I wouldn't refund the customer?

2. Is it February 20th or after?

3. Is this the "I'm telling Mom you got salty with me after I got salty with you" review board or are we here to deal with actual fraudulent scamming in the Probation List forum?  Cause the only reason we're here today is that he didn't like me calling him out on being a hypocrite in our PM's...HE LITERALLY DIDN'T PROVIDE ME WITH HIS ADDRESS UNTIL 3 DAYS AGO...and I have repeatedly stated in our PM's that I would refund him...AND WE AREN'T AT ANY OF THE DEADLINES THAT HE SET HIMSELF....so please tell me...why are we here again?  To give this guy a f'n audience for his venting and hurt feelings?  Or to deal with actual problems??  I've never scammed anyone in my life, and I'm not about to start over $1500.  I LITERALLY SAW HIS ADDRESS FOR THE FIRST TIME YESTERDAY WHEN I LOGGED IN....WHAT IN THE ACTUAL F* CK ARE WE DOING HERE?????

This is kind of my problem with everything... 

I feel bad that all of these details are getting dragged into pubic view. I don't feel like that's right, at least until after the seller missed the refund deadline. 

As of right now, everything will be resolved when the $$ is refunded so I think we have to let that happen. 

I'm not siding with either side. I see this as a really ugly situation and mistakes were obviously made.  Nothing about this was clean on either side. 

Bottom line, the $$ needs to be refunded.

Not that it's any of your business, but I had over $5k in sales coming & going that week, as well as time-payments that come in on a weekly basis....so I didn't think the $1500 would make or break me....and to be honest...jumping thru hoops just to meet his demands "because he said so" was not exactly tops on my priority list after the way he stonewalled me....and as I said before....I was actually debating on nominating him for the PL...but figured it would just be easiest to give in to his demands and appease him so not to waste everyone's time & energy on something so trivial.

I've done business with both of you gentlemen and have nothing but positive words for each of you. This is an unfortunate event that has become personal and these needless exchanges will not serve any further purpose than to increase animosity. I believe we can all agree that Adrian as the seller, has a responsibility to meet certain expectations that fell a bit short due to personal circumstances that should not have been entered upon during a business transaction. I believe Lee as a buyer has certain obligations that perhaps fell a bit short, but , at the end of the day, the customers satisfaction should be paramount. Lee acted in good faith as a buyer and the resolution should be to his satisfaction within reason. Time to put this behind as it's hardly PL worthy. but worthy of a discussion.

I agree.

We need less caps and less "never said I wouldn't refund" and more "refund is on the way" here.

I hope Top City is feeling better as well and recuperating.
