How do you trust people out here...

I have made many transactions on tcc .. and they have gone well.. some good sellers out here... but other people make me angry..

I won't name any names.. cuz i cant prove what im saying is true... but there will always be a doubt in my mind about what really happened ..

So I make plans to buy something off someone... and they say that can only meet a week later and will hold it for me.. great I am a girl of my word and if i wnat something i really do want it... and i will have cash in my hand waiting..

so a week passes and the plan was to meet up 2mmorow.. and we even spoke earlier and everything was great.. but then just 5 mins ago i get an email saying "I'm sorry but someone ran over the item.. it was in my garage" First off if that did happen... it sux for the seller.. cuz they did loose out on money...

BUT.. what makes me really angry is.. if im buying something off you.. and we plan a week before to meet up cuz i want the item.. what the hell is it doing on your garage floor... like at least take care of the item and put it in a safe place... like come on, you did commit to a sale..

worse part is I was gonna pick it up for someone else.. and i told them it was for sure... now i have to tell them again... i got punked..

this isn' t the first time this happened... I have gotten this "I'm sorry someone ran over it" crap before.. and it frustrating..

I beet you ANY MONEY... they found someone else who will pay more for the item.. so they back out on their word... just cuz they are a bunch of ********...

I have had the situation also when i know for sure that has happened ... they claim they got a higger offer... so ask if i want to match the price.. EVEN THOUGH.. we had set that price and he had said the item was mine.. argggg makes me soo angry.. it was funny cuz i know it was bull****.. and too this day the guy still has the item.. and is now asking for $75 more then what we had agreed on..

Whatever...


Im sorry.. I just had to rant a lil.. just had a lil bit of frustraion I had to let go...

Hmmm...what got ran over?

Civic Chick 69

if I reveal the item... i may be giving the identity of the person away..

and like i said.. I dont know if someone actually ran over the item... or if they just got a better offer on the item and are punking me off..

imported_eth0r

ya..an excuse for sure

Civic Chick 69

thats what i was thinking... it is an excuse...

but i dont want to accuse the person without proof...

meh... oh well

Cynikal.Mindset

damn I still wanna know what was run over...was it a carpet? LOL

maybe it fell off the shelf and when they were backing out it went crunch...thats what happened to my stock airbox, fell off the shelf, went to back out of the garage and bye bye airbox

No it wasn't a carpet.. the item cracked..

and yeah the item could have fallen of a shelf.. like your example.. which is why i dont wanna accuse the person.. and reveal their identity..

I was just pissed cuz this isnt the first time its happened.. and I needed to vent..

no money was exchanged/lost... be happy about that

I regularly send out a LOT of money to ppl I've never heard of for items I've never seen (not even pics). I just do some basic reasearch, like feedback, references, etc...

If I got taken advantage of, I'd seriously harm them physically. It's not unheard of for me to drive hours or days or whatever... to get something I PAID for.

Civic Chick 69

yeah i know...

its just frustrating :s

all my transactions have gone good, when ive owned my Civic.
but some punk ***-hole owes me 240 bucks for my buying my Gauges...

thanks for reminding me, this was when i was with Neoncanada.
this guy owes lots of people... and what does he do???

he goes out and buys a SRT-4....

i might pay him a visit at a scarborough Chrylser dealership....

sorry about your luck...
but i do understand what your saying.... if someone promises you something... at least stick to your word.... or at least say something.....

Cynikal.Mindset

how the hell does this guy owe you money for buying your gauges? did u give them to him and he said he'd pay u back or something?

the seller has like 99% of the power so I dont understand how you lost out to the guy if you were sellin him stuff

Civic Chick, why not just ask the guy to take a picture of it. Tell the person you might still want it for parts, and you want to see how bad the damage REALLY is.

STANGBANG

i feel for ya girl

spracingsports

well physical harm always does the trick... but its a no-no ...... im a small guy and i hate bullies, but thats a biased opinion


well all we can do now is pray that item never EVER sells, so that he lost the potential money you would have paid

The Prophet

thats brutal man, im sorry you got jacked like that

put it in Buyer/Seller feedback...

u dont need to be rude, just let everyone know who it is and what happened/...
