This helps. There is so much drama, that this point gets a little lost, imo.T_C_D wrote:Tool was pictured with a bunch of random 535i/m30 tools and described as such. After being pointed out that the tool was a m5 tool, I told the buyer about my mistake and offered the correct m30 tool. He had a massive tantrum so I refunded his money. Thus the shit storm. M5 tool was then sold and $$ donated to the mye28 maintenance fund. If that doesn't clear things up for you then nothing will. I wouldn't expect everyone to agree with my decision but it's long over now.demetk wrote:Not sure if I understand this sh_t storm. As far as I can tell, there was an agreement made on the price for this tool by both buyer and seller and then the deal got cancelled by the seller who then sold it to someone else because the seller realized, after the fact, that the item was worth more than he thought? I don't understand how this is being justified as being OK. Maybe I'm just missing something. If I am, kindly enlighten me.
It was advertised as one thing, and pictured as another. So the price wasn't wrong for what it was intended to be, the pic was.
I think Todd is in the right by refunding the money and offering the pictured tool at the correct market value if indeed thats what the buyer was after.
The buyer would have a legitamate gripe if it were an add for some random tool that the seller posted without any specific description or anything. Then realized what it was and backed out. Although, an honest buyer would have pounted it out hopefully, prior to purchase. But, it is also up to the seller to research what they have first, if it's that important.
*I've never bought anything from Todd, only because I haven't needed anything he has for sale.
He gave me a hat about ten years ago. I bet its worth some big bucks now..
