Hey guys, got an honorable mention in this guys Audiogon ad. He actually reported me to Audiogon after he claimed I didn't answer his emails. I even sent him my phone number through another email address which he confirmed he got but he never called. After about a week I sold it to the next interested buyer.

So, I keep wondering what kind of seller he thinks is going to ignore an intent buyer for the fun of it? :confused:

Crazy people out there...

    Hey, it happens to us all. Recently, an audiogoner got pissed off at me because I told him I was ready to make the purchase and asked him to send me his PayPal address, but when he wasn't responsive, I moved on to bag another deal. He didn't understand that when you have a fish on the hook, you gotta reel it in.

    Just for fun....we could all contact the guy...tell him we have a mint R-130...wait 24 hours and then send him a message that it is sold to someone else. It would teach him to mess with a Polkie! ;)

    Waiting a week was pretty cordial of you IMO if he was not in dialogue with you during the week.
    He was likely stringing you out to see if he could find another one at a lesser price.

    Chuck,

    You need to report his ad. That kind of crap doesn't fly on Audiogon.

    I thought about it but I don't think anyone is going to take him seriously anyway. Might as well let him bask in his own glory, huh? Besides, I just listed the EQ's he is looking for. Not his lucky day. :D

    Yea ZD, I held the other guy off for a week before selling to him. I'm fair but if you want something you at least have to make an effort to get it.

    That has happened to me before on Ebay. I got negative feedback from some knucklehead over a misunderstanding.

    I was selling my Onkyo pre on the 'gon and had a ton of people say they wanted it, and then nothing. Not even an email saying "I dont want it anymore"

    thats why I just put it on ebay. I will say Audiogon has been annoying me a bit as of late. Had similar issues when selling my LS90's. would get an email saying they are interested, and then nothing....leaving you in limbo.

    it seems it is becoming more acceptable to do that. Me, if I want something, I tell them I want it, and them follow through with it. If I am on the fence, I dont contact, plain and simple.
