    Question about classified

    As some of you know we are selling off some of our stuff so we don't keep some sensitive stuff inside storage container when we move to the ranch.

    I put in our 46" LCD T.V. on GS classified and put it up for sale.

    I got a PM from this guy whom I do not have any dealing with before. He asked if there was a picture of it. I politely replied back and said it was in the thread. Not knowing that he couldn't see from his phone which he never mentioned to me in his first ever PM.

    He responded and spewed with nasty attitude. I responded back with same attitude as he did. Told him I would take his offer up on calling him but I was Deaf and couldn't call him but would be willing to text him to talk it out like a man. He replied and apologized for the attitude. We were all good after that and he still wanted the t.v.

    He said he'd come up and get it if I could meet him in Luling. I had no problem...then he couldn't come because his wife just had a surgery the day before. No problem...

    Waited until following Wednesday, is when he said he was coming up, texted him back to touch base on when he would be able to meet me to pick up the t.v. He responded that he would just send the money to me and then pick it up whenever he could come up. I agreed.

    Week has gone by without any money order. I texted him again to find out what's going on. He said oh, Ima dropping off tomorrow, which was last Saturday. Texted him Saturday evening, he confirmed that HE mailed it out.

    Monday came, no mail same thing happened on Tuesday, Wednesday...Texted him each day that I received no mail from him on the t.v. payment. He reassured me that he sent it out.

    Well, yesterday, I texted him again and told him that I have given him an ample time to come up and get the t.v. and an ample time to send the money. He responded with this, Oh it should be there because SHE told me she dropped it off. I told him I've tried to work with you, brother, he texted back saying I know and I am not pulling your leg...I said Alright...I am not the person who would doubt people from our own GS, I thought if he really say that, then I am going to give it a benefit of doubt. It's been two weeks of empty promises...But I still give him the benefit of doubt.

    Today, I went and checked the post office mail and there was no mail from him.

    I texted him back and let him know what is going on...I am still waiting for him to respond...

    My question because I have been more than patient and have worked with him...should I post the t.v. back up for sale or what? I have never experience this before on GS and have never really sell our stuff on the GS. This is my first time experiencing this...I would like to hear what y'all would do in this situation?

    I am not going to jeopardize my reputation on here and my reputation means a lot to me. I want to remain a good standing on GS but I feel that my hands are tied.

    What do yall say?

    Appreciate any advice or suggestions.

    Repost it........... should have been plenty of time to get your money. Even if SHE forgot to send it.

    I know that I personally have been involved with deals where work called me out of town and was not able to send payment when I said I would. And was more than happy to let the deal go if the money was needed ASAP.

    Re list and move on.

      I would put it back up for sale. If the check comes in then take the tv off here. But from the sounds of it he never sent it. 2-3 days max for USPS in Texas. I have dealt with it. But I have also been a slow buyer too and got caught up in everyday life and the check was delayed on being sent. But communication is key. I let the buyer or seller know everything.

      Sorry you had this happen. Hope it works out.

        Ample time and consideration has been given, Phillip. If you want to give him til Tuesday, then do so but I say the bell has rung.

            I agree, I think you have given him plenty of time to come through. Stuff sent in the mail Texas address to Texas address always come quick! My experience atleast. You did what any good man would, but now you gotta do what you gotta do to get it moved. Should have sent the check himself! just my opinion

                Yeah, I figured that as well, regarding to the mail delivery time. That's what's bizarre about it, taking so long when he said it was in the mail. I agree...

                  One week is long enough.

                  and, you don't have to deal with buttholes. you are free to sell it to whoever you want.

                  In the last ten years on here, two times I've ever had a seller ask me where a check was, I immediately tried to work out some other payment method (paypal, drive to him and pay, send another check overnight). One of those was a fairly large transaction where I just sent a copy of the confirmation from my bank (which by the way, was screwing around and didn't send the check the day were supposed to).

                  Lack of communication (or rude responses) is almost always a sign they are jacking around.....

                  Next!

                        I would re list. If a check happens to show up then just mail it back to him.

                          I'll be the first to admit that if payment is made by personal check or money order, It may be a week before I get it sent out. If the shoe is on the other foot, I give the same time frame or thereabouts... If it takes longer than a week for payment, yes it's necessary to touch base with each other. If there needs to be a little more time, no worries. When stories start getting "wishy-washy", I'll pull the pin.

                          As I type this, I'm in the process of buying a set of broadheads, 2 pair of pants and a smoker. I finally mailed the check today for the broadheads after about 4 days, sent a paypal payment within 5 minutes of agreeing on the price of the pants, and mailed a check to a friend to pick up the smoker, which he'll meet up with the seller.

                          Put it back up for sale, I would.

                          good luck!

                            If I had sent a check or money order and after a few days I'm told they haven't received it yet, by golly I'm going to see where in the heck it went or even put a stop payment on it and then see about another transfer of money.
                            Apparently, he doesn't need that TV as bad as he thought he did.
                            I also had something happen to me today by a fellow TBH'er. As bad as I would love to talk about it, I'm bitin' my lip and not say a word. Besides, it would get wacked anyway just like this thread will!!!


                            Put it back up for sale!!!
