N9RG - Advise caution or avoid
Posted: Fri Mar 10, 2017 3:07 pm
Recently sold an item to N9RG in near mint condition. Have all the emails.
Basically, this is one of your dead beat buyers. Didn’t have funds to start with and strung me along for a week without paying for his item. Initially told me he wanted it, stated funds would be provided following day. Then asked if the deal was still in force (I suppose afraid a seller would sell to someone else). Then started the stalling about the payment, and then started to make bogus excuses about my item, etc. You get the drift.
Didn’t have funds to start with and ran away, not sure if he didn’t get the XYL’s or mother’s permission first or what. No explanation given. Swap boards aren’t set up for “try it and if you like it, buy it”. So if you encounter his email selling or wanting to buy something, your risk. He is on my listing to avoid in the future. I found out later, after the fact from a couple of chaps that emailed me that this guy has had issues before, and they go back a ways.
For me, if I commit to selling something to someone, regardless if someone else comes forward and offers twice the price, I honor my commitment to the original purchaser. If I commit to buying something and find the same thing or something better elsewhere in the meantime, I still honor buying the item I committed to. Why? It isn’t about the money; it is about integrity, character, honesty and truthfulness. Some folks (an apparently N9RG is amongst that number it seems) lack those traits.
So, beware, avoid or enter at your own risk. I am not a lay away store. I don’t hold stuff until someone can scrape together the funds unless that is pre arranged during the initial commit to buy. And, I never ship until I have the funds in hand.
