I also wish to know the DP value of Mountain Bike Rally for the SNES (complete!).

I sold a complete copy on Ebay this summer for around $25.

[Sailorneorune]

Thanks for the info, norkusa. :)

So I guess this game will go for about that, as it's complete, and works great.

[scorch56]

Looks like his quoted prices are "starting bids" folks; and NOT set in stone. After PM'ing him last night stating I would take the Jetsons game from him for $15 and getting a S&H quote.. all I was waiting for was a method of payment to be discussed with his relatives. I awoke today to find THIS in my message box:


I've got an offer for $25 from another DPer for this same game... talk about your awkward moments. I wish we had 2 copies so everyone would win. Hmm.

My reply:


Of course you did.. it's a HTF game at a decent price ($15). This kind of stuff happens all the time on DP. As much as they like to think they're an honorable bunch (most are)someone is always going to try and cut in. Sell it to him if you must (Wish I knew WHO it was so I could advertise him as well.).

The bottom line is that you offered the game in the forum at a stated price of $15. I was first to take you up on it.. and now you're having second thoughts because someone wants it not necessarily worse than I do.. but is willing to "cheat" (Kinda' like people who cut in line.. I hate them.) to get it. If this was meant to be an "auction".. it should have been posted as such. This kind of thing doesn't sit well with the DP members who DO "play by the rules".

Do what you must..

First the BIGGEORGEJOHNSON "fiasco".. and now this.. I give up.. not even FB matters lately. I wish I knew who the jerk was who is making higher offers for a game that was already supposedly sold.

[Sailorneorune]

I apologize... but I was just simply stating that I had received another offer. However, the "cheater", pseudonym, had no feedback that I could see from the feedback thread. As a result, I have decided to honor scorch56's original offer.

If you think I'm a jerk, I am really sorry. These NES games were just something my relatives picked up and they're the ones pulling the strings here. Due to just having only indirect involvement in this matter and the DP guide being down, the prices listed are merely an educated guess. I guess "or best offer" may have been helpful to throw in there, huh?

I want to apologize to everyone involved with me in these transactions, and I have no intention of screwing anyone over. I am nothing like this biggeorgejohnson person; people actually get items they buy or trade from me.

I have three positive feedback to back that up, and three positives are better than no feedback at all, or even worse... negatives.

This is a dubious claim. I've worked out many deals here and never, ever had this come up.


The bottom line is that you offered the game in the forum at a stated price of $15. I was first to take you up on it.
How can you be sure?


... and now you're having second thoughts because someone wants it not necessarily worse than I do.. but is willing to "cheat" (Kinda' like people who cut in line.. I hate them.) to get it.

Where are these "rules" you speak of? And how is offering a fair price to a seller "cheating"? If someone wants to sell an item, it's up to the seller how much they sell it for, not you.

Christ, one has nothing to do with the other. Lay off Sailorneorune, there's really no need for all the drama. Plus, calling someone you don't know a "jerk" is uncalled for. The other party would have no idea that you wanted the game too, so relax and think about what you're posting before you start flaming people.

I'm not sure why you're making a big deal about this whole thing, unless there's something I missed?

Did Sailorneorune tell you the game was definitely sold to you and then backpedal? If not, you really have no business complaining. I don't know who the other parties are, and it doesn't matter. You're making a big stink over nothing. *shrugs*

[Davart]

OK let us clear a couple of things up...
(I signed up here just to do this.)
1. Sailorneorune is my niece and selling the games for me.
2. That is makes me the uncle in question.
3. I directed to get the most you can for them, as I do not have to sell them and could just as easily use them as skeet targets. …. PULL!
4. She informed me of 2 offers to buy "The Jetson's" (The game in question) and I said who ever offers the most can have it, this is America and capitalism and how it works. It's not first come, first serve yard sell, it's the best offer wins.
5. So do not blame her if you are upset, ticked off, generally disgruntled, et. al. blame me.

So if you blame me, please note that it does not bother me in the least if you do, I have bigger fish to fry. If you would like to buy one, some or all make me a fair offer, if I have two offers on the same item the best wins. I do not deal in games, she does, and therefore she was asked to sell them as I have access to a lot of games and many HTF titles.

So please do not give her grief, she was doing what I asked her to do which was get the most you can for them. I think that is reasonable and understandable, don’t you?

You can contact me directly if you must to sort things out, what ever you do do not kill the messenger.

Thanks and Have a nice day!

I'll also stick up for Sailorneorune. I traded with her twice; both times went perfectly. What she says, believe her. She's one of the more honest traders I know of.

[pseudonym]

hi, i just wanted to clear some stuff up...

first, i pm'd her at 1:13 asking if the jetsons game was still available and i'd take it if it was. she pm'd back later saying that someone else wanted the game too and i offered her $25 for the game. the same best offer thing that scorch mentioned earlier.

second, my feedback is here...

http://www.digitpress.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=57897&highlight=pseudonym

notice that 12 people have responded so far.

it's fine if the game is sold already but i don't like that someone who doesn't know the whole story is making me look like a jerk. ahem, scorch...

thanks.

[pseudonym]

sorry, double post.

[Sailorneorune]

What to do, what to do...

I shall confer with the man in charge of this deal and try to settle this.

-Sailorneorune

[Davart]

Here is the way I see it, thus far no one has paid for the game, therefore it is still for sale.

It is my game(s) to sell so if the offer of $25 is good then whomever sends $25 first gets it and I will pay for economy shipping, if you want upgraded shipping say so and adjust the final price accordingly.

I just checked my paypal account at 23:39 CST and as noted the game is still forsale as I have not spoke to anyone making a deal and no money has been recieved.

So unless Sailorneorune has made a deal I'm not aware of. I'm going with this unless told otherwise.

Thanks
Davart

[scorch56]

The following games do not belong to me, but to my aunt and uncle, and as such, I will be less flexible with the prices:

The Jetsons- Cogswell's Caper - complete - $15


The bottom line is that you offered the game in the forum at a stated price of $15. I was first to take you up on it.


How can you be sure?

Because I PM'ed her WELL before the other buyer did; and I have the time-stamped message to prove it. If it had been sold, or someone had beat me to it.. the usual course of action is to inform the late one.. isn't it? (I've been through this before.)


Did Sailorneorune tell you the game was definitely sold to you and then backpedal?

..GEEZ.. WHY do you think I got upset? The LAST PMs between her and I last night led me to believe ALL she needed to do was check with her relatives regarding the "method" of payment. She quoted me a shipping price before that.. I said fine.. "how do I pay?".. and she said "I'll get back to you on that".. plain & simple.

I'll take it! I have extra "sleeves" lying around. Please consider it sold.. pending payment. When you find out.. let me know. I can do PayPal; and I get money orders from my bank.. so either way is no problem. Keep in touch.. and thanks!


3. I directed to get the most you can for them, as I do not have to sell them and could just as easily use them as skeet targets. …. PULL!

5. So do not blame her if you are upset, ticked off, generally disgruntled, et. al. blame me.

Then MAYBE.. your items SHOULDN'T have been listed with "SET prices"! (ANYBODY know what that means?) MAYBE.. they should have been advertised as best offers.. like she did her OWN games. Geez people.. it's not that hard a concept to grasp. People sell things without listed prices in this forum EVERY day; and ask for "best offers". I have no problem with that.. this is simply a matter of backing your "WORD" (as in written or posted ones) up and holding to it.

A mistake was made.. I understand that.. but this HAS happened here before (I've seen threads with the original buyer crying "foul".. just like I did) and the buyer who grabs the deal first and then gets "undercut" (or "overcut" as this case might be) seems to be understood.

Look at it this way. If I have Suikoden II, and I really want to get rid of it quick; I advertise a price (Doesn't matter whether it's the "going" rate or NOT; like someone else said this is America and we can do what we want.). I price it at $35. Someone in the forum PMs me at 9PM and say's "I'll take it" "Please send me your payment info"; and I say "I'll get back to you on that."

3 hours later.. another person PMs me and tells me he'll give me $50 for it (BTW.. WHY would anybody offer more "out of the blue", than the stated price UNLESS they'd been told it had ALREADY been sold? We all love it when we get "deals" don't we? Please don't play the "holier than thou" routine here.

Now.. if I PM'ed the first buyer (Oh.. let's just say it was YOU [Put yourself in my place]) back and told him that I got a better offer. What would YOU think? Would you be PO'ed? Yes you would. If it had been advertised as a "best offer" then you might not have a leg to stand on.. but that ISN'T the case here.

I wouldn't do business that way, and I bet neither would most of you. I HAVE seen this exact same thing happen here before and it always upsets someone.. because IMHO.. it's wrong.

Look at the origianl post.. there it is.. still.. in black & white with a price of $15.

I rest my case.

edit:

BTW.. how many of you have ever used a "BIN" on eBay and sent the seller MORE than he was asking for his item simply because you felt his asking price wasn't fair to HIM. Any takers? Gimme' a break.

[scorch56]

Scored this last night because I happened to beup at the right time:

http://www.digitpress.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=72350

I Pm'ed him immediately; but he didn't see it until this morning because.. obviously.. he sleeps. he told me it was going to me and yes.. I WAS first.

Now what if evangelion-01 had PM'ed him later with a $25 offer; and he took him up on it instead. Would that be right? Tell me Arcade Antics.. how would THIS.. be any different from THAT?

i'm not trying to start a fight, especially over a game but she did say BEST OFFER and i made her an offer. this is the pm she sent to me in response to my pm.

Hmmm... talk about your awkward moments... I just got another PM about this very game!

Best offer gets it, I guess...

Here there be my feedback: http://www.digitpress.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=67213


i thought i pm'd her first since your first post in this topic was at 1:20 AM and at that time i didn't sound like it was sold at this point at all.

that pm you got is probably in response to my pm to davart's post. the last post in the topic at the time. i was going to pay davart and i pm'd for his paypal address but seeing that you took it way before me i won't bother.

[Davart]

Listen I have been out of town so I came into this late, I never quoted a price to anyone or set a start price prior to my last post. The prices she listed were a starting price OBO as I understood it. Perhaps that wasn't clear, do-do occures sadly more often than we like which led to confusion. I recieved a phone call and e-mails from her stating the confusion so I joined the site to try and clear things up once I got home.
Understand this there was no attempt to trick or deceive anyone at anytime, misunderstanding occure, miscommunication occure crap happens. I was on the road in not in a good position to see what was happening.
As it stands right now I'm going with what I said, I being the owner of the game. Sailorneorune infromed me I had an offer for $20 and one for $25 and asked me what to do, I said take the higher offer, as I think anyone would as I was presented with the offers at the same time. She is only doing me a favor by offering them on this site, as I do not trade in games but have a number of them and access to a lot more. So do not blame or disrespect her for trying to help an old man get rid of stuff. If you need to be angry at someone be angry at me, I'm a big boy I can take it.

Where are we now?

No one has paid for it as of yet and one person has pm'd me offering $25 for it. Please do the math.

I'm not trying to start a fight either. I've had so much "flakey" and bad luck in this forum lately.. frankly.. I'm ready to hang up my hat. But here's the way it went down for me. I don't have the first couple of correspondences between Sailorneorune and I because I deleted them already (BIG mistake) but they were basically me asking about the condition of the game; and her replies.. oh yeah.. and I also mentioned feedback and my problems lately. Note the times.. we were BOTH online at the time and our conversation was in "real time":

game cart, instructions, manual, styrofoam thingy... unfortunately no dust cover, so I guess it's not technically complete! I'm sorry if that is an issue. Damn local shops. They're both great and not so great at the same time.

If you decide that you are okay with this trade, add $5.00 for Priority w/ DC (only the best for those flimsy NES boxes), but allow me to find out which is the best payment option first. I'm merely the messenger.

All games have been tested before I left to come back home.

Thanks.

.. that's the $20 offer she was talking to you about.. I guess ($15 + $5 S&H= $20).

..now that's the way we left it at 10:35 PM and I assumed it was sold to me. I was simply waiting for her payment instructions. I even checked the post immediately and some time afterwards to see if she would mark it as sold, or edit it out.. but she didn't. I went to bed.

In the meantime.. I guess you made the above proposal to her.

Then today (I'm a nightshift worker and I sleep days) when I woke up I logged on to see this:

Of course you did.. it's a HTF game at a decent price ($15). This kind of stuff happens all the time on DP. As much as they like to think they're an honorable bunch (most are)someone is always going to try and cut in. Sell it to him if you must (Wish I knew WHO it was so I could advertise him as well.).

The bottom line is that you offered the game in the forum at a stated price of $15. I was first to take you up on it.. and now you're having second thoughts because someone wants it not necessarily worse than I do.. but is willing to "cheat" (Kinda' like people who cut in line.. I hate them.) to get it. If this was meant to be an "auction".. it should have been posted as such. This kind of thing doesn't sit well with the DP members who DO "play by the rules".

Do what you must..

A little while later.. she posted this (but I didn't see it till later this evening):

.. and that was it. Now I'm not going to presume what conversations went on between you two in the meantime. The only thing I am wondering is.. if I was having this conversation with her 3 hours BEFORE you did.. why did she tell you:

"Hmmm... talk about your awkward moments... I just got another PM about this very game!"

..almost 3 hours later than me ("just got"?)? From the way she words it.. she makes it sound to you like we were both trying to close a deal at the same time.. or even "I" was the latest one; and that we were actually somewhat "bidding" against each other (As she doesn't actually tell you what I agreed on.. OR when it was.. OR that I had already met her (and yes.. I'll say it once again.. POSTED) price. So I could see how you would think you were simply putting an offer out there to you.

Then she says to you:

"Best offer gets it, I guess..."

..well.. that says it in a nutshell. She KNEW what she was doing. When you made a higher offer to her above her posted price (and D*MNIT! I ask everyone to look at that original post again [If it doesn't get edited ;) ] and tell me how THEY read those first two paragraphs. HER games are OBO; and her uncle's are at a set price. IT'S JUST THAT SIMPLE!) she simply saw an opportunity to make more than she asked for.. and the rules/intent changed.

I harbor no ill will towards anyone regarding this. Not
Sailorneorune; not you pseudonym, and not her uncle. I don't even want the d*mn game anymore if it's going to cause that much trouble.. fact is.. I'd like to see nobody want it now; because it's apparent to me that people are simply doing what human nature would expect them to do.. try and get more for something AFTER they realized that it would get more. There's nothing wrong with that.. like I said.. it's just the way "I" would never do business.

As for those of you that want to "back up" Sailorneorune.. good for you.. your dealings were pleasant.. I'm glad. I'm not even calling anyone dishonorable.. I simply felt it was my right to come back here and say what had happened to me. If I'm ranting.. (and I AM).. so be it. I'm just not gonna' let this thing go by making ME look like the "bad guy".. when I'm not. I was simply the guy who saw an opportunity to buy something at a STATED price.. was told he could do so.. and then was "reniged" on.. plain & simple.

As far as I'm concerned.. this matter is closed; but if I were anybody else wanting anything else of her uncle's part of the listing.. I'd simply add another $10 to the quoted price.. send it to him.. and be done with it. That's a crazy way to do business if you ask me.. but that's just me.. go figure.

My last word.. let's drop it. Time for me to go play some games.

[Arcade Antics]

I'm not trying to start a fight either. I've had so much "flakey" and bad luck in this forum lately.. frankly.. I'm ready to hang up my hat.
Wha? If it's getting to you that much, you should probably follow your instinct and hang that hat up pronto. Granted, I don't know all the particulars that you're touting here, and frankly, I don't want to know. But I will say that tons of people have never had "flakey" and/or "bad luck" here... ever. It's possible that you're just taking everything way too seriously. Games come and go in the trade boxes, if you didn't find a game you wanted today, there's no need to panic. Just keep after it and you'll find it another day. If it's not fun for you any more, then throw in the towell. Isn't that the whole point? *shrugs*


Now what if evangelion-01 had PM'ed him later with a $25 offer; and he took him up on it instead. Would that be right? Tell me Arcade Antics.. how would THIS.. be any different from THAT?
Honestly, I no longer have clue #1 what you're even talking about. And I'm exhausted just looking at the endless type you wrote here. But here's my two zenny anyway:

A seller can sell a game to whomever they want. At this point, I wouldn't blame the seller for not dealing with you just based on all these nonsense posts. It's tiring. @_@

Bottom line is that you've gotten way bent out of shape and created a ton of petty (and useless) drama. And I can't even begin to imagine why a moderate title like NES Jetsons would set you off this way, but whatever.

I'm also not sure why you felt the need to air this out in public - please keep this kind of thing private in the future.

[Davart]

Since the games are mine I in fact have final say over them and with the amount of WHINING that has gone on here I think I'd rather put them on feeBay and spare everyone the stress and drama.

Frankly scorch56 you have disrespected both myself and Sailor, and the endless ranting and whining to the point I'd be afraid to trade with you as if ANYTHING wasn't to your exact liking no matter how minor it'd turn into a dramafest I don't have time for.

Here is the BOTTOM LINE if you have not paid, it has not sold. MONEY TALKS and everything else WALKS.

Jeez it's just a freaking game, as it stands if pseudonym wants it great they made a fair offer and gave a will pay by time, if they do not pay by that time I'm selling them on feebay as this is more work than I have time to deal with right now. It's $5 and it's not worth my time.

Good luck on your sales Sailorneorune. I may be interest in Joe and Mac , but I have to check my need list when I get home ;)

P.S. I agree that Davart should have his e-mail removed ;)

Moderators, please do something about that e-mail address post.

[Davart]

Mr DO is sold!
The Jetson's is SOLD to an undisclosed buyer (Thanks Goodness)

Joe and Mac are still forsale if you want it it is $20 plus shipping. Not $15, not $25, not $54.83 it's $20.00 plus shipping.

Priority is $5.00 w/delcon which is $3.85 plus .45 cents which equals 4.30 which leaves 70 cents for packing and supplies and a lot of gas to drive to town and mail it. Which means I loose money shipping it.

Sorry I just feel in light of all that has pasted I must be VERY CLEAR so let me know and have a nice day. :D

If you need photos or more info you can e-mail me ... gee wonder where you can find my addy at?

Alright, concerning the back and forth finger-pointing going on above... It seems there was a communication error. scorch56 shouldn't have assumed the worst (since money had not yet changed hands) and jumped on Sailorneorune. However it is my understanding that scorch56 was under the impression the a "handshake" deal had been set up between them, which is what caused the scrimmage. If scorch56 didn't blow things a bit out of porportion (which seems to happen an awful lot) then Sailorneorune would owe him an apology - but as it stands everyone should go "oh well" and the TOP post should be changed to reflect "highest offer takes game until final deal is struck" to avoid any further confusion.

I'm sure scorch56's reaction was "I'm glad I didn't pay yet or I might have got screwed out of my game and money" etc. - Good seller or not, we all know that's a sinking feeling you get sometimes. Put yourself in that position for a moment.

Additionally there seems to be a communication breakdown between Davart (owner of the game(s) in question) and Sailorneorune who is selling them for Davart. It's a case of too many cooks in the kitchen, getting two responses from two parties concerning the sales criteria and arrangements. I speak from experence in selling off arcade uprights like this (as the middleman) and unless the owner passes all information to the seller at the START of the sale then you get a big mess on your hands like this. Even something like "I'm selling the below games for my uncle and he wants to sell them to the highest offer" in the TOP POST would save everyone of this headache. "make offers" and "best offer" are two totally different things, especially when someone thinks the item is locked up - it does take a moment to make a payment, remember, and what kind of payment method wasn't even clarified yet.


Here is the BOTTOM LINE if you have not paid, it has not sold. MONEY TALKS and everything else WALKS.

Yes but people like to know that the item they're about to pay for has been pulled aside before they part with their dollar. Many of us don't sit on DP or at our terminals 24/7, as you said yourself, we are busy with other things and check in every now and then. And yet again, still, you have two sellers in this thread, the owner of some of the items and the owner of others that was originally acting as the middle party. Davart, if there are certain items you have for sale that you'd like to handle 100% (which it looks like you're doing now anyway) I encourage you to start your own separate Buying & Selling thread.

**end of take on that, figured I had the right to post since I read it ALL. LOL

On another note, got a ball park figure you're looking at for that copy of Point Blank 2? :)

[Sailorneorune]

I was asked to do this on good faith, as I am the only person in my family with the spare time required to work on DP, CAG, and every other game trading community with a nifty abbreviation.

The game that spawned the argument was sold, and thankfully, that one was taken out of my hands.

As for Point Blank 2... I know it isn't going for much without a Guncon to go with it, I'll research further into the value of this game and let you know.

I also wish to know the DP value of Mountain Bike Rally for the SNES (complete!).

I sold a complete copy on Ebay this summer for around $25.

They have one at Game Crazy on Queen street in Southington ,CT .
$6 i think it was.
