EBay purchase tonight from rometc_3014 (6 Viewers)

I recognize this will likely be dead in the water, but if anyone on PCF made this purchase, please message me. I’ve been working with this person for the last few days to get these chips listed. They were listed and gone in seconds, but intended for me.

Shipped before you could intervene with seller?

 

[bernielomax]

I got them. Probably easier for me to just take delivery and send them to you? Rather than risk someone else getting them.

That makes me nervous as hell, when a seller says he’ll list them for me. ISNT THERE ANY OTHER WAY?!?!?

 

[bernielomax]

He should have put “private listing” in the title.

Agreed. eBay does everything it can to make you stay within their ecosystem for transactions, is it so hard to be able to create a listing while tagging another eBay member for a deal specifically for them?
Not sure what I'm missing, but this seems like it could be fairly easy to implement, and would be used relatively often, imo.

I think the seller can turn on accepting offers and then accept your "offer" at the agreed upon price. I've not done any selling, so I don't know if there is a hitch on the seller side.

I would absolutely love that snapper if it's not something in your want pile! And if @bernielomax doesn't want it obviously...

I already have a few, and can’t put that into play. I’ll leave it up to @bernielomax if he’d like to keep it. (And if he does, I’ll send you one of mine bud)

I will just send them all to @inapinch and let him decide. I don’t want to try and value these individually.

 

[inapinch]

This deserves some celebration. The beers are flowing tonight, so I’m doing some free giveaways this weekend, and @bernielomax i owe you one bud thank you again

I have had a handful of sellers do exactly this for me in the past

List then with a shitty title if you don't want them sniped.

Community.

So much better than making bank, bruh.

 

[inapinch]

List then with a shitty title if you don't want them sniped.

“Curly fries with moist towels.”

“Curly fries with moist towels.”

Someone out there has an auto search for that title.

I was thinking more like "odd ball dice chips"... Something that no one is going to hit on.

 

[joeyshin]

This has happened more than once on here. Couple years ago I bought a case on eBay that someone said was meant for them. I didn’t know any better. I just sent it to him.

 

[KHarp1]

Definitely +1 @bernielomax he was kind enough to remember me when he parted with a last rack of a chip I was building around. These kinds of stories are one of the many reasons this is such a great community.

 

[TheOffalo]

I've had eBay sellers do a high-priced listing with an option for people to make an offer and said they would only accept my offer. That way someone doesn't snipe the listing.

@bernielomax, that is crazy stand up of you. I worked out a deal with a seller once for chips I actually use and collect. @ReallyGoodUsername and his bots snatched them up in seconds. I knew the listing was getting posted, and he still beat me to it (most people know what he does all day). At the time, I assumed it was him, but I wasn’t sure. I reached out to the seller to see if he would honor our deal and let the sniper know. He contacted @ReallyGoodUsername, but @ReallyGoodUsername wouldn’t let him, and the seller was scared he would get negative feedback if he canceled the transaction. The worst part is that @ReallyGoodUsername even told the seller he knew those chips were intended for me!!

Anyway, I knew exactly what he was going to do with them, and sho nuff, they were being flipped in no time!!

It’s good the know, @bernielomax there are some decent people still left. Major tip of the hat to you.

Hey @bernielomax
Because of your kindness, I’ve decided to go out of my way today to mail you a very special gift — an expired coupon for a lap dance. Should arrive in a few days. You’re welcome.

 

[greenchip]

That happened to me as a seller, someone else snipped my listing I created for others. It’s eBay, so I overpriced expecting buyer can buy in his convenience when he told me to list it.

Sold in less than a minute like WTH. The other guy told me to honor the transaction as I didn’t label as reserved. I did. Told the other guy the exact story, was very disappointed. Didn’t receive threats of feedback from both parties, but I felt yikes that can happen. You never know your overpriced might be buyer’s deal of the day.

Buyer was a chipper who wanted for his collection and didn’t flip.

Later, I included a slip to buyer for different item asking me to contact, so I can help him find what he missed. I did find them and worked things good.

Since then, I ask the buyer, what time do you want me to list? If he says, post at 5 pm for example, I post at 5 pm. Work’s convenient for buyer and seller. I think buyers can ask sellers to do it, at least I run that way.

Give away time after major clean up hearing the story

 

[Taghkanic]

I’ve seen it done where the seller puts a ridiculous price on an item but accepts offers.
