awesome haul but it sounds like the karma police will be after you for stealing the lot from that other guy....
Quote:
I was selling a guitar on Craigslist Friday... Paid $100 for it at a clothing store that used it for a prop. I never really played it. I sold it for $210.00. so already I am feeling good about my day. I then looked through the other listings and saw a gi joe lot with no pics listing an aircraft carrier and space shuttle for $150. I emailed the lady to come over and get them right away. She told me another guy was coming from 2 hours away. I told her I could be there in 30 mins with an extra $100.00 bucks over her asking price. I had a bid on a flagg for $350.00 and thought I should get this one regardless of condition to gut for loose parts I needed and sell the remains. I get there and..... HOLY COW!!!!! A flagg with no discoloration and a complete defiant. there are two minor breaks with both... but to nothing structural. Also... I got a complete terror drome, a night raven, whale, sky striker, tomahawk, dragonfly, hiss, apc, conquest, mamba, stunn, havoc, bridge layer, wolverine, both vamps, cobra bunker, snake, dreadnok fang sky hawk, skyhawk, mms... etc. and mission to Brazil set, all the drivers (including the astronauts with mics and helmet and backpacks) firefly with phone and storm shadow with numchucks and snake eyes with timber and sword.
the guy from 2 hours away flipped out and started calling the lady and chewing her out. He began telling her how much she lost in the sale... gave her a blue book description of all the big items. Her husband just had a stroke and she has a lot on her plate and just got rid of a garage filled with He'man ans starwars stuff too. She just wanted it gone asap to fit a $30,000 car into her garage because her husband can't drive it anymore. She has emailed me about all of this and is really happy that I got all of the stuff and the guy (who may be reading this) did not. If he is a collector of all toys.... he maybe shouldn't have gotten on this lady's bad side.... I saw 17 boxes of starwars stuff she is going to unload this weekend. I only collect joe and have been since 1983/4. I haven't posted my collection on here before... but I am going to now with a few of my new finds. Also... I got all of this for $250.00... using the extra money I made on my guitar. I am sorry I out bid the guy on here... but he was going to buy it for $100.00 less... that's the breaks for not getting it right away. the Karma police will get him for making me look like a jerk for only paying $250.00... she just wanted the space. I lost a terrordrome for $75 this way just last week... now I have a nicer one!!!! |

Don't feel bad. That guy had no business trying to tell her how much she got lowballed, when I'm sure he would have been perfectly happy to get it for a $100 less. That's the game.

Sounds like the other guy should have got first shot at the lot. He was traveling from 2 hours away which probably meant he was going to buy it.

He never said "I am for sure buying it"... I had an appointment for 11:30 to look at what he didn't get at 11.. then there were people after me in line for Appointments!!! so I know that he never told her that he was for sure buying. I knew about the distance after the fact... actually, I KNOW I did nothing wrong because all I did was tell her that I was for sure going to buy if he didn't... no matter what the condition. The only thing that I was wrong on is telling here I was for sure going to buy not knowing if it was the real deal... or that gi joe aircraft toy that came out latter (hot wheels looking thing with a bunch of little planes on it). I have fallen for that before. the post was vague and I had no idea until after the fact what they discussed... I didn't know any of it. I also email all of the garage sale people to ask if I can buy their left overs after the collectors pick through it. She didn't make the guy drive here... she told him she got a better offer, correct me if I'm wrong... but isn't that capitalism? Someone bids 10,000 more on your house... are you going to sell the people looking at it because they said they were interested in it? I was willing to haggle with her... but she jumped at it. His fault for not outbidding me as far as I'm concerned. It was all the money I had too. ANYWAY... I just told her for sure and I would pay 100 more for all she had... I didn't even know that the guy even cared until after the sale was made, and she liked the idea of me telling her that i was for sure coming to clear out her garage FOR SURE WITH CASH.

you are the biggest mother fer in the world it was me and I am going to smash your face in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Actually I'm just kidding. This one isn't a black and white situation. You did kinda hose the guy but I could see someone wanting to leave it for sale to whoever actually gives them the cash first. I've been left not being able to sell my stuff numerous times by holding for something for something they said they would buy then theres always something that happens and I'm left not selling what they should've bought. So I can't blame the lady for doing this given her situation. Now I would've felt bad for the guy but he sounds like he was just trying to get the score of all scores as well and was just really bitter that someone outdid him. yelling at an old lady with a severly sick husband is never a good thing. He should have called and just one upped you and outbid you fo the stuff. Since he was dumb and resorted to threats and verbal abuse to a lady and trying to out you since he lost the sweet deal he got what he deserved. nice score.
