Screwed over

Glad I saw this thread. I was just looking at one of their listings for a S&W 22 TALO and was considering a bid. Guess I will be bidding on one from TX

Hey Money Solutions....
Could you answer me before you answer Adonis again....

Question....

How much are you or did you selling/sell the item for since the "mistake" was made????

[hakenlag]

I'm sorry, I have to agree with MoneySolutions on this one. I ran my own auto repair business for many years and have been in similar situations and fortunately my customer base, for the most part, were understanding and ethical.

The situation would be entirely different if the seller was not honoring the deal because he had a better offer elsewhere, not the case. A mistake was made, just that simple, get over it and move on.

Somebody made a mistake, and because they made a mistake you expect them to not only not turn a profit on it but to loose money on it. Right is right and wrong is wrong, and doing this is wrong. You are reaching into this guy's pocket and taking money out of it, not right, period.

Yet so many auto repair shops in CA are cited and fined by the B.A.R. for exactly that. If find it odd that you never got cited with such an attitude toward the extremely legally binding Estimate/RO. Did you ever read that monthly report the Bureau sends out with that really long list of violators and the fines they got? So where was your shop?

Whats funny is the seller bumped up a thread that was a month old to confirm what the OP stated and then get punked by the calguns community.
Good Job Bud, here's a free bump for you to keep the thread alive.

Haha, that there's funny!

I haven't read all of the posts here but this is the biggest thing that eats at me... We as gun owners all know the excitement we get when you buy a new weapon. It must have really sucked to be on a high after buying that just to have it ripped away like that... I think the seller has lost sight of the joy purchasing a new weapon creates. And if he has not forgotten the joy then he's simply heartless in knowing he was really going to stomp all over someones excitement by not honoring their listed price and going back on the deal.

Wow I find it Ironic that his name is "Money Solutions" because he potentially created a monetary problem for himself by crapping all over possible customers.

My $.02.... you listed the price incorrectly (too low) You contact the buyer and inform him that you listed it too low in error but since you're an honest and kind business man you will honor YOUR mistake and sell it to him at the reduced price. All you ask in return is he keeps you in mind the next time he buys anything gun related.

Viola... then what happens is the excited and thankful buyer comes onto Calguns and gives RAVING reviews of this awesome buyer he encountered on Gunbroker and you in turn sell many more weapons to an even wider audience and quickly regain the few bucks you lost on the selling of that one item.

Regadless of who is right or wrong in this... You sure blew that chance.

I am with n2stackin at this time

All that I'm seeing/reading here is that the GB seller Money Solutions runs his business & auctions like a scam artist.

I buy & sell many things on GB, so I know how it works. The defensive replies & bully like tactics from Money Solutions just proves what type of people they really are.

As much as I think this was an honest mistake, I still think that the buyer is in the right here. The seller posted it at that price, the buyer agreed to pay the price. It was a contract. I was under the impression that that was legally binding. Yes it was a mistake, but it wasn't the buyer's mistake, and he shouldn't be the one getting hosed here. Your employee, acting as your agent in the sale, listed it that way. The buyer, in good faith, accepted the price, and was willing to pay it. You are out of luck. It sucks, but that happens. Coming on here and trying to rationalize your reasons for breaching the contract doesn't help. It is your place, as the seller, to follow through on the contract. Even if it is a loss for you. Otherwise, the buyer will suffer the loss, through your actions. And that isn't right. I understand that you run a business. And that taking a loss like this hurts. But ultimately it is time for you to put on your big boy pants and deal with it. If anybody is to blame for this, it is your employee. Not the buyer. And since he is YOUR employee, it is YOUR responsibility to fix it.

I 2nd that about people on here, in the last week alone I've had 3 people back out of agreed prices for stuff after someone else offered them more... It's always surprising what people do to make a profit

Same here ,told it was mine a the price we aggread to and terms,Gave him what he asked for ,then a hour later , I got a better offer ,I told him go to gun broker if he wanted a bidding war.

[loophole]

thank you for your responses as this has been an entertaining thread to watch you bury yourself in. it's truly entertaining.

I offered to sell him a new shovel some time ago.

I think I'd better warm up the backhoe instead..........

I wonder if the seller posting here is real...

I still fail to see the argument that the OP is attempting to profit from the sellers mistake. the 10% you claim to make on each sale is already factored in as it was a previous sale, you would be losing nothing. We get that stock is flying off the shelves, that means new stock is also coming in aswell, doesn't it? you just can't keep it on the shelves long enough to keep in stock til you get the next shipment which can be weeks to months now, what you fail to see here is a mistake was made that would not COST YOU anything as the seller to honor the sale price and in fact you would still cover your 10+% that is needed to operate. The saiga that was relisted was initially enough to cover your cost + overhead. how is it different now? remember in your answer that you are most likely posting these the day after they arrive in your shop, it would make sense if you said they sat there for months on end and were worth more to you for overhead and storage, when in fact you already said you cant keep stock and are waiting on vendors to deliver. We all know you're making record profits the last two months and you wont budge on making only 10% on one sale to keep your word. thank you for your responses as this has been an entertaining thread to watch you bury yourself in. it's truly entertaining.
