coccodrillo - are you serious about doing business?

[owntag]

This is an unhappy communication.

This member coccodrillo posted a domain name for sale with a BIN $300
http://www.dnforum.com/f283/pasteit-...ad-441027.html

I PMed him with my offer.

Hi, I offer $100 masspay.

If this is acceptable, please let me know your paypal info.

Thanks

Best regards,
Yinan

Then I received his reply by PM.

Today 11:19 AM

Hi,
100$ is very low!

For 250$ the domain is your!

Let me know.
Thanks and best regards

I decide to accept this price and started to check if I have enough balance in paypal so I can still make $250 by masspay. Then I replied:

Today 11:34 AM

Sure, I will take it for $250 and please let me know your paypal.
I will try to masspay you so you won't be charged by paypal fees.

Thanks

Well, right after I sent this PM, I saw a new PM and it's posted only 7 minutes after his first PM.

Today 11:26 AM

Hi owntag,
i not sale this domain at 100$, if you are interested, the BIN price is increased at : 800$
Please view this valuation(ESTIBOT) at this link : http://www.estibot.com/appraise.php?...in=pasteit.com
as been estimated 6900$!!!

Let me know
Best regards

I have to admit that YES coccodrillo changed his mind BEFORE my deal confirmation (while I was checking paypal account, still have the 1st PM window open and didn't see the 2nd PM yet). I have past experience regarding quick mind changing, other sellers told me they made a mistake when typing the price which I totally understand. But it's the first time I saw this type of seller here at DNF.

I sent another PM and questioned why he changed price so quick, and I received a Special Price fairly soon.

If you agree, you can buy this domain only at 550$ (Special price).

OK?

Let me know if you are interested.
Thanks and best regards.

This did let me down.

That's what happens when people take estibot seriously
There was a BIN, so this is not serious at all.

I'd say give him a negative and ban him.

Show that this is not a gamer's forum and business is serious.

Otherwise, starting to look like ebay.

To me it looks like a problem with English. He still thought you were offering $100 when you agreed on $250. The guy is confused (his messages to not jive with yours) and, on top of that, greedy. If you really want the domain, tell him that he said a price of $250 (quote that e-mail), you will buy it NOW (as in 24 hours) for $250, period. If he replies negatively, give him a negative rating for the sake of all of us...or if you no longer have an interest in the domain due to him being flippant, I would say it warrants a negative rating as well....and to agree with Dot Com, he should be banned.

The thread has been closed and I too think it is unacceptable to raise your bin via pm after you posted one.

1 word summarize all: Extortion.

Case closed.

[owntag]

Thanks guys for the kind support. I'm not going to leave him a negative feedback this time for some reason.

1. I just saw he has only one positive feedback which was left by me on 07-28-2010. I can't remember which domain but that means we had a pleasure deal in the past.
2. He changed the price a few minutes BEFORE my deal confirmation.

Mod please close this thread, thanks.
