Should sellers be able to ask for more money after sale because they got other offers??? (3 Viewers)

[_j_dog]

*EDIT: I have been contacted by the seller & he is going to honor the original dibs. All has been made good - thank you PCF community!

Good afternoon fellow chippers,
I recently responded to a "for sale" post for some minty chips for $_____. Within 5 seconds (yes I'm that chip autistic ) I call dibs. Then immediately message the seller I'm in, and here is my address!

I'll be getting these minty fresh chips soon right???

Well, that's where this story takes a turn for the worst... About 15 minutes goes by and the response finally comes in: (is it the email address to send payment??)

*paraphrase*

Hi Jason! Thanks for responding, although I give PREFERENCE for dibs in this sale I'm not beholden to who first calls dibs. I'm in negotiations with another member for services and would like to trade these chips to them for such a service. I'll let you know if it doesn't work out!

Well I'll be... Sure enough i click the view button and at the very end is that silly little phrase:

"I’ll give priority in the order dibs are called, but I won’t hold the sale for hours waiting on a PM if someone else is ready to pay, that wouldn’t be fair to others. Just expressing interest doesn’t count as dibs. Also, I reserve the right to choose who I sell to, regardless of dibs." (emphasis my own)

What does that mean exactly??? (We'll I'm about to find out and it's not what you think either I'm afraid)

Ok fair enough, not sure if that was there when I called dibs originally but I'll give the benefit of the doubt. I'll wait.... Indeed wait I do with no response.

I message again, and then I'm told this new tidbit of info:

"I’m hoping to work out a deal with him (vendor) for a discount on the _______ and _______, but I’m not sure if that’ll pan out. Just to be fully transparent, last night someone messaged me and offered $5.50/chip. I’m not looking to turn this into an auction, but I like the idea of recouping a bit more of my losses."

So, there we have it. GIVE ME MORE MONEY. It was really never about the person reserving the right to sell to, it was about finding out how much he could sell these for after the fact if indeed he did list these a little low... His quote at the end is the sales thread before closing it sums it all up:

So my question remains: Should a seller be required to sell chips listed at said price after "dibs" is called? Or is there nothing wrong with waiting for others to PM higher offers and take the highest bidder?

Feel free to chime in, and I would love to hear the seller (whom i remained anonymous) defend his position here in the thread. I'm all EARS!

THANK YOU,

Jason

Pretty much what i said when this went down.

You post a sale for a price, someone says dibs, sold, end of story

This. Anything outside of his needs to be pitchforked. OVO has spoken.

Should I get money back when prices get lowered after I paid full price ? To me you make a deal it’s a deal .

 

[BPTDirector]

That’s fucked up man.

 

[_j_dog]

That’s fucked up man.

Tell me about it... If you guys look, you'll see the original post...

 

[suchj0sh]

Not good. I saw the original post shortly after you dibs’d, and that blurb was there from the jump. Still not good.

I’m not the cops so I won’t name names, but it’s easy to find.

 

[BarrieJ3]

wtf is going on at PCF.

The seller doing bullshit, this guy posting on his 2 month old account a publicly lodged complaint that’s extremely see through without tagging the seller (takes one simple search), and then PCF vets responding with bullshit - anyone calls dibs automatically gets the chips? That’s new PCF standard procedure to me.

Everyone in this thread sucks.

I understand where you are coming from, but no one wants something like that to be commonplace here, I’m sure.

Yeah, like i said i didn't remember seeing it, but it actually had nothing to do with the ACTUAL issue... And that is selling said chips for MORE than the original post price. But I'll also add this opinion: if you post an item(s) for sale, the first person who "Dibs" gets it. No reserving special dibs for your friends or "vendors" who also want said chips...

I'm new here so what do i know?

 

[kmccormick100]

"Should a seller be allowed to charge more for chips after sale is made?"​

Yes.

If he wants to get his proverbial (or literal) teeth kicked in by PCF.


Edit: to the seller's credit he did lay out the terms of the sale I suppose. So maybe he's not legally in the wrong...

Nah that’s bullshit though too.

I post regularly “not a dibs sale”. Why is everyone jumping in responding incorrectly to a 2 month old member posting his side.

Obviously the seller sucks, you can tell that just from looking at his interactions. But that doesn’t deserve blanket responses that are 100% incorrect.

Eh, it doesn’t matter anyways these threads come and go and die and no one will see it again in a week.

Shame on me with my TWO MONTH OLD ACCOUNT. I thought keeping the other person anonymous was the appropriate thing to do... In fact it was suggested by someone in admin to handle it that way if i wanted to go that route...

You want me to @ him here? Just wanted to do the right thing... Apparently you're damned if you do and damned if you don't.

you want to shame @iLovePoker shame him. I thought his last few sales were laughable, but whatever they’re his chips.

Don’t be a little b*tch about it. Either hide who it is or be fully transparent.

Idc what you do, was just letting you know it’s a bad look. Lmao you went to admins over this. You’ll fit in well here, no doubt. (That’s not sarcasm).

Either way, good luck.

But the honest answer is no, it’s not cut and dry. There are plenty of people like me who correctly use “not a dibs sale” to avoid selling to certain types of folks.

 

[UniLover]

Yeah... I think without specifying whether it's dibs sale or not, it should be treated as dibs sale.

Seller even though may appears to love poker, might love flipping more.

He dib'd some chips in July for $300, and in recent sale, listed it for $400. Many other examples.

I knew exactly which sale because I didnt even have time yesterday to think if those chips went with one of my projects and they had a two dibs. I see no need to protect anyone. If we can't "shit post" a shitty sale we should at least call out a shitty seller.

Sounds great Barrie, thanks for the advice.

This would seem like an appropriate spot to leave some "Neutral" feedback.

Normally before my hasty Dibs calls that come up I do try to check for Feedback, however it's pretty much always positive around here lol. Not necessarily;y a bad thing, but certainly can't actually be true.

I personally don't think the feedback system is working as originally intended, looking / checking their message history is a better indicator for me

[Budha]

It’s bullshit.

I get the “I’ll sell to who I want”. It’s basically an asshat clause indicating there are certain people the seller doesn’t want to deal with. Cool -

It’s not an open catch all to say I’ll shop bids after a dips on what is essentially set up as a dibs sale.

BTW- the buyer who offered a higher price after a dibs is bullshit too.

@BarrieJ3 is the most warm-hearted caring person I know.

Hey, I know you guys love all the people that run to mods and report people and shit.

But I mean the guy is 150 messages in, has run to mods already, and his second thread ever is a member callout without tagging the member.

And half your pcfers commenting here would sell out their granny for a nickel. If anything, I’ve had on kids gloves for the last two years.

At least I keeps it real.

(Don’t boot me, I’ll let everyone go back to the kumbayah circle j*rking stuff)

You seem more agree about this than OP. Jesus.
