I've only been on this board for a few months and, to date, the folks I've dealt with have been exceptional. From case breaks to trades to buys and sells, the population-at-large here is great. However, as is the case with every group, there are exceptions.
Here is his post from 12/26: http://www.blowoutcards.com/forums/baseball-singles-buy-sell-trade/16540-have-paypal-looking-prospects-wtb.html. He posted another similar one the same day: http://www.blowoutcards.com/forums/baseball-singles-buy-sell-trade/16578-buying-josh-vitters-matt-laporta.html.
I sent a PM that day, letting him know that I had a 2008 Bowman Chrome AU Vitters for sale/trade. Since I didn't see anything in his bucket that I wanted to trade for, I offered the card for $22. He PM'd me back, saying that if I knocked $2 off the price, he would buy it. I agreed and he said he'd pay right away. In fact, if you page down to 12/28 10:03 from the previous post, you can see that he expected to pay for the card he bought from me.
The next day (12/27), I shot him a PM, asking if he needed more time, since he told me he was going to pay right away. He responded that he would pay tomorrow (which was the 28th). No problem.
The following Tuesday, I sent another PM, asking if he was still interested. He said he was, but that he was cash poor and was waiting for people to pay him first. I found it interesting that he "got plenty of cash/paypal", but was unable to come up with the money. Even more interesting was this post: http://www.blowoutcards.com/forums/baseball-singles-buy-sell-trade/16726-huge-prospect-auto-lot-f-s.html, where he had the same card as part of a lot he was trying to move.
He had the money, or he wouldn't have been able to pay for this card on 12/29: http://www.blowoutcards.com/forums/baseball-singles-buy-sell-trade/16578-buying-josh-vitters-matt-laporta.html. This guy just decided to buy cards on eBay, rather than living up to the deal he agreed to here.
Since 12/28, I sent 2 more PMs, asking if he was still planning to pay for the card. Finally, today, I got a sh*tty reply, saying that he was no longer interested.
I'm not going to go on a cursing rant... this is just a warning to anyone on these boards that is thinking about dealing with sportsluvr2 - or even reviewing his "I WANT TO BUY..." posts. He doesn't keep is word and shouldn't be trusted. Live up to your word or go away, sportsluvr2. It's not the money... I could care less about the $20. It's the principle of making a deal, then backing out like a snake.
