Buyers obligation to inform seller of substantial below market price

[Joe315]

What’s really shitty? Is that a member here took screenshots and tried to make the seller feel like shit for his sale. That is worse than buying the item itself for a great price. I find that disgusting and wrong on so many levels.

What proof do you have of that? AFAIK, taking a screenshot of a public discussion is not against site rules. It may or may not be the right thing to do, but the posts are public.

The guy who just posted above said that’s what happened. https://www.thedarktower.org/palaver...=1#post1200222

I just read up thread. I have no proof. Going off why David Hawk said RF. And no it’s not against the rules... just a shitty thing to do. Just made that guy feel like shit for no reason.

This is just bizarre. Posted and then deleted right away. He’s been on the forum for only a few days, and all he’s done is try to cause problems.

Some posts remind me why I wouldn't be sad if the internet disappeared and everyone could go back to keeping their opinions mostly to themselves. Including me.

Funny how many ways there are to say "I wouldn't have done that."

I don't know how you came to that conclusion, he has been a member of ebay for 22 years, but it looks like in that time he has only 35 feedbacks as a seller. The other nearly 600 feedbacks are as a buyer. What resources does ebay provide to help you with pricing of rare items, or even knowing they are rare items?

Not to take any true side here, but let's assume he started on ebay at age 20 - now, he'd be 42. Back in 1998, Ebay was a true auction site where buyers really did learn what were valuable and what werem't, and how to figure out how to get the right item at the right price. Everybody here remembers the wild west of those days.

The "resource" should have been 22 years of experience and gained knowledge from using the site. Plus, there's a search bar and like 20 different ways to narrow searches - he could have typed "Signed Gunslinger" and come up with some options.

Now, your point is not wrong - he was mostly a buyer, dabbled in selling, and didn't do enough work in this instance to really figure out what he had. It happens to everybody.

Agreed...
I've been caught out in the past because my own arrogance told me I knew everything... I didn't.

I don't blame the guy who bought off me it was my fault.
