Title: Filco Cherry MX Blue Otaku
Post by: sherryton on Sat, 04 December 2010, 07:23:45
I'm willing to take less.

Please give me some offers or I might want to trade for Filco Cherry MX Brown if anyone has one? That'll be very lucky though if I got to trade.

My keyboard is in very good condition. I'm not sure what the prices are, so if anyone want to message me and also give me a good pricing on what I should place on that keyboard.

Listing has been removed?

Edit: Think I found the listing here (http://cgi.ebay.com/Filco-Mechanical-Keyboard-Cherry-MX-Blue-Otaku-/120655825836?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item1c17a5cbac#ht_514wt_1141), though.

So, he says it's sold to me and tells me to send payment yesterday, so I sent the payment.  Today he comes back and tells me he has a better offer so he refunds my payment.  Just not the most ideal seller ethics.  If you want to wait for a better offer, then wait for it.  Don't accept an offer and change your mind after payment has been made.  Thanks.

Agreed.

On other forums I peruse there are actions required before being able to buy/sell/trade. Having a minimum post count is a popular system, so you can establish some sort of reputation to uphold.

Well, I believe he came back to me.  I hope things go through smoothly this time.

And now he's just ignoring all my contacts... even when I just want him to refund my money now.  This is horrible;  These are some of the perks of buying online...

We probably need to enforce some kind of minimum post count required to buy/sell/trade here, as someone else suggested. On the other hand, this post was just a link to an eBay auction, so maybe the repercussions need to come directly from the eBay reputation system in this case.

I think up until now it's kind of been buyer-beware; I know at least I would think twice before buying from someone with only a post count of 1. Even if someone has 500 posts though, that doesn't mean they're trustworthy. I'd say if you don't get your money back though, definitely report the user to iMav.

The eBay Listing was removed, then readded and sold, then the bidder got refunded based on the bidder's request (according to auction feedback), and now the board is back on ebay for $7 more.  o.o

Weird stuff...I hope things work out.

Def weird - but nothing that anyone on GH can do anything about.
Buyer beware.

i couldn't find it but the seller is selling a full 104 key FILCO for $7 more than the tenkeyless they were selling.

Oh yes, you are correct.

Just opened up a Paypal dispute, we'll see how it goes.  I know I'll get my money back since I've done this quite a few times already before, but I just wish he would just refund it kindly like a good seller should.

Got the refund, thanks everyone, will be more careful next time.
