.

I responded to this offer IN TWO MINUTES of it being posted with a "SOLD! Where should I sent the money" PM . BST FORUM NOW I'm being told others have expressed interest, sorry....I am dissapointed!

EDITED: OK.....GOOSE has correctly pointed out to me that my POST was ONE HOUR --- NOT --- 2 minutes. I am wrong!

    Tumuss, someone beat you via PM. Always send the PM first, then post to the thread. Endzone may have posted to the thread after you, but he was the first to send a PM.

    Well then, endzone must have lagged posting to the thread. He was first to PM.

    Is the Seller ethically obligated to sell the coin to the first person who PM's?

    I replied: "I DID send my PM FIRST!"

    Then GOOSE:

    << <i>how do you know tumuss? >>



    Goose, I have to assume I was first to send....My above comment "I DID send my PM FIRST!" was telling Eric that I did send him a PM before I posted to the threaad.

    Notice that endzones post to the thread says: :"PM sent ALSO "this points out he had already seen mine.

    How else would you handle a fixed price posting? The only fair way I can see to do it is to sell the coin to the first person who PMs wanting to buy it.

    looking at that thread, you responded 58 minutes after it was posted.

    When I am sure I want something over there, I generally don't post anything to the thread.

    My guess is that neither you or endzone are getting the coin.


    the seller also stated he answered the PM's in the order they came in. all FOUR of them.
  • How much is the coin worth? I suspect north of $55.

    Being the seller of this coin I can tell you you were not the first to PM me. I had no other option except to respond in the order they were received. I am going to E-mail someone I know and ask if he has a Zerbe to sell.

    Smittys, you are wrong. I am selling it for the exact price I posted.

    Tumuss, I suspect what happened was endzone sent the PM first, then went back and saw that you had posted PM sent. This is simply a case where two people saw a coin they wanted, and sent PMs. His PM did beat yours by about a minute. I know this seller very well.

    so GAT, are my assumptions correct???

    Tumuss,


    GAT seems to have a "first PM wins" then goes into "if no PM, first post-response wins".
    So, it appears that endzone's PM got to GATfirst.

    I wouldn't be happy either, but if someone beat you, they beat you.
    I am always amazed by how many deals I miss because I have to work or take care of the kid or something and people are banging the hot deals within seconds/minutes.

    edited to correct to the right seller

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    I was the third pm and I am on a waiting list.

    Sorry Gat, I've seen it happen before.
    I'm glad you didn't do it.
    Maybe I should think before I speakimage

    Ron, I'm not the seller. I just happen to know the seller very well.

    I saw that when I saw Gat's post...just thought it was you because you have been selling items and were on this one so quick image
    I already edited my post to correct that, but you are too quick image

    Reguarless of who sent the FIRST PM...I'm sure I will NEVER see the coinimage

    hey, maybe the buyer will post an image for you!image
  • K6AZK6AZ Posts: 9,295
    Just a final note, and hopefully this thread can die.

    Tumuss, I've spoken with the seller and had him carefully look at the PMs. You were beat out by 12 minutes.

    Also, I understand that there is a possibility to get another one, so hopefully that will happen.
  • TUMUSSTUMUSS Posts: 2,207
    I WAS, AND AM OBVIOUSLY WRONG!!! I appologize to all of you, and have sent PM saying the same. Sure felt like I was being given the shaft....that's why I reacted.
  • goose3goose3 Posts: 11,471 ✭✭✭

    no big deal.

    When I have a give away on that BST(usually a gray or bluesheet) I always write in the thread....

    First reply, then Pm me your addy...

    This way you can look at the thread to see if someone replied first. Also some threads can be posted at the same time. Top one wins....

  • Sorry George & Tumuss!
    I should have responded with a reply to thread.
    after I PM'ed.

    I didn't mean to cause such an uproar!

    Most ot the time I just send a PM without a
    reply to the thread. From now on I'll do both,
    one after the other!
