I got a notification for some toys for sale on my Facebook market place. Some vintage ghost busters, he man and GI Joe. The guy was asking $30. Thought it was a good deal, thundermachine, stun, a few more vehicles and bunch of figures. I hit him up and he told me he was waiting for someone else who just sent him a message. He said they would be mine of he doesn't follow up. A whole day goes by and he hits me up saying that other guy flaked out. He then proceeded to tell me it's my chance now if I beat other people's offers. I told the guy that he was pulling a scam because this was not ebay and not an auction. I told him he was violating Facebook market place rules by pulling a type of bait and switch tactic and he could have faced suspension of his Facebook account if someone reported him. Am I wrong for getting mad at him?

Nope. He set the price at $30. If he wanted an auction, there are sites for that. He doesn't get to retroactively turn it into an auction after you express an interest.

I think your right on this one. It’s one thing to hold something for someone. That’s respectable. It’s another completely to change price on something mid deal because of interest.

Its definitely annoying and unethical but I doubt you'll get the stuff for $30.
I'd report the user if its a quick process and then move on.

heres the convo:
Used original GI Joe, Ghostbusters and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Toys $30 Good afternoon, is this available? Ryan Hi Kenny, I have a deal in place at the moment but if it falls through I will let you know Thank you. Sun 9:56 AM Ryan The prospective buyer never showed. Since I’ve received numerous inquiries, I’m going to take the best offer for the lot, for those who are still interested. Sorry, but these items are for pick-up only. Any offers higher than 30? Ryan changed the listing title to Used original GI Joe, Ghostbusters and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Toys - best offer. Ryan Some You put up a price of 30, you didn't specify it was an auction. You should have mentioned that in the description. Very deceiving. people can report you to Facebook and have your account suspended. Just saying... That's what eBay is for Ryan changed the listing title to Used original GI Joe, Ghostbusters and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Toys $30 or best offer. Ryan Sorry sir, not trying to deceive, my asking price is still 30, and I had a buyer for 30 that fell through in that time I’ve received other offers above asking price. 1 Ryan marked the listing as SOLD. Chat Conversation End Type a message, @name... Last edited by KENNY GUIDO; 10-23-2018 at 04:20 PM.. |
