[riant]

Cool. On your vendor?

[Bigoud]

ok adding them now

[Bigoud]

stranger bought them both right after you passed by...

[riant]

It was principle. The implication is that you are accepting my buy-offer when you say you have them. When I say "I'll buy a +15 vanq kryss for 15k" and you say "I have it, putting on my vendor", and then I spend my time logging in and see it for 20K...that's called bait and switch. Scummy business practice imo. Yes, a couple of minutes to get annoyed at your vendor house, and a few more to write this post isn't a huge time sink for me, but I find if someone is willing to scam a dollar (albeit subtly), they're willing to scam $10,000.

Your rep is that you overcharge, but I didn't know you would actually do something deceitful. That's the last time I do business with you Bigoud, and I'll advise everyone I know to avoid it as well.

lol riant

i told you i have them, i never agreed on a price

you say i over charge because i sell at a different price than the one YOU WANT ?

you said you set up the rules on this market ?

krysses sold in less then 10 mins after i put them on vendor... i dont think they were overpriced

ask Stranger, he bought them

I am shocked - shocked - at how this thread has developed.

[Ashikata]

I personally am shocked, stunned and appalled that I am writing a reply

Since this getting bumped so much, I would like to mention that I'm still in the market for:

For an unused +20 Vanq (I'll pay 25K)
For an unused +15 Vanq (I'll pay 15K)
For an unused +10 Vanq (I'll pay 8K)

If you have something with nice charges or good durabilty, and want a little more, please be up front, instead of hoping I will arrive to your vendor shop, see an no-durability, no charges +15 vanq kryss, and say "what the hell - he upped the price but I can't be bothered" so you can get a pointless few more K out of me. This is the signature tactic of a bait-and-switcher.

This is only illegal in the U.S I think, so if you are Canadian, here is the definition from thefreedictionary.com:

bait and switch
n.
A sales tactic in which a bargain-priced item is used to attract customers who are then encouraged to purchase a more expensive similar item.

In fact, I could make an argument, that saying "sure I'll sell you product X at Y price" and then marking it up is akin to forum scamming. I think it should be prohibited. It's illegal in the real world (yes, I know this isn't the real world) but it's just a b.s. trick...let's call a spade a spade.

Bigoud scummy?

[Hicha]

The only person that has been scammed... is Stranger. I bet he read this post, then logged in quickly and was like "Hell yeah I'm gonna go snag these krysses before riant" then bought em without lookin at the price.
