C.Rob doesn't follow the rules.(Toned Down)

He listed 5 buick poverty caps for sale.The price was 150.00 and shipping.My responce was "interested any dings dents? Shipping to 44144.I was the first to respond to his ad. Am I wrong here or does this put first waiting for a answer and shipping cost?I go back to look a hour or so later for his answer and the post is deleted.I PM C.Rob about the caps and was told he sold them.This is not the way sales are supposta work here or am I wrong? I was told money talks and I was just interested. Tom

 

Well interested doesn't mean I will take them, let me know what shipping is.
Any dings or dents? the pictures were so good that many other people wanted them. I believe that when you want to buy something you make a commitment
Not an interest. Now you were provided pictures upfront so any ding and dents is waisting time unless no pictures are provided. You never made a commitment to purchase these items and you were trying to decide if you wanted them. I also asked you 3 times in the post "do you want them" and you did not reply. So you hav no reason to call me any names. It shows your character .

 

Read the rules for posting parts for sale. I stand buy what I said.

 

You beat me to it Jason! I was cutting and coming back to paste!

 

Pot, meet kettle.

Jason. I don't know what he could'nt have understood.I ask a question and shipping cost. I may be off with my time line and and give him the benefit of doubt here. It may have been more like 1 1/2 hours till I got back to him.

 

I was told to tone it down.Not happy about it but I can understand where JW is comming from.Like i stated before I got in line with a responce to a for sale post by C.Rob and a question and told him I was interested and shipping costs to 44144. Checked back with in two hours of my original post and the parts were sold and thread deleted.I PM'ed him about the parts and was told monry talks and "interested' means nothing. This guy doesn't follow the board rules and should not be trusted.

 

Tom,

I merged your two threads, as it was just the title I had a problem with.

Also, the thread in question is here..

http://www.v8buick.com/showthread.php?t=225127

As was stated above, sellers should give any board member, who expresses interest in public, the first option to buy.

C.Rob put in the deletion notes "ebay" which I would take to mean he is listing them on Ebay to sell, which is his right of course.. But after it's on the board only two hours?.. why bother doing the ad?

JW

 

Looks like he's deleted all his sale ads and is going to Ebay instead.

Tom, I agree with your view on this.

 

Isn't this always the way. Argue semantics when it suits YOU!!!!! :spank:

P.S. Good catch Devon!!:beer

 

Shows his credibility here..I agree with Tom....CRob....Shame on you..He clearly said interested 3 times as a matter of fact..

 

Nick from ivyland if you purchased the caps,shame on you to.Most everyone here will waite there turn and let the person ahead of them respond.If it wasn't you I apologize. If it was then your no better than C.Rob in my opinion.

 

I got caught up in the "PM Sent" too. Didn't think it meant "I'm Interested" or anything else. Just posted "I'll take it" and thought it would be over. Nope.
PONCH

 

I'll mention something here that I feel is important and one thing that I think I have done in the past ... maybe it happened to C.Rob.

After stating in the thread that I am "interested" in a part, I have carried-on some additional discussions about a part with the Seller via PM's, so the point I am making is that sometimes there are hard points ... like comittments to purchase, etc., that may be communicated in PM's and not actually in the Parts for Sale threads. Right or wrong, I am just saying we would have a fuller picture if we knew what was communicated in both the part thread and a subsequent PM ... and the ultimate point that the discussions should probably be in the threads until the point that a comittment is made and all else is incidental or private (address, etc.). My . 02 cents.

As far as 65gs76limited, I have a set of 4 nice dog dish/poverty caps ... let me know if you want to talk about 'em. We are all Buick guys, here.

 

I agree with the OP, I've had two less than correct dealings on the board in the past few months. If you post it here you need to follow rules and honor the rules. Parts that are posted shouldn't end up in the hands of e-bay buyers. Ron

 

I know Tom. Have dealt with him on parts. Nothing but a true gentleman. I can't speak for the other party, but you know what they say about first impressions. Treat others as you'd want to be treated.
