Country: | So I am not really into calling people out...but this is just plain unacceptable. I have done many, many deals on the forum and off and this is irritating...especially when a mod accepts my offer and then backs out trying to downplay the situation and offers me $5,200 less for the domain name. Just beware exactly who you are doing business with here. People that call themselves professionals aren't always what they seem. (-----email message-------) Hey -- as per our conversation on AIM Today -- [23:04] godfrey90sf: i could offer you funny.info for 6.3k [23:04] godfrey90sf: limited time offer for today only [23:04] godfrey90sf: 292k overture/month [23:05] godfrey90sf: ok, the 6.3 is only valid today We have a deal. However, my partner insists that it goes through escrow.com and the seller pays the fees. Let me know. (---end---) (---email---) Hi Justin -- First of all I will have to check out the reason why Jon did no go ahead with the deal. I have just woke up and not had a chance to talk with him. Secondly, if my partner is not there, I cannot proceed with the BIN Offer. As an Industry veteran, I hope you realize that a sale can go sour at the last moment and there is a reason why most laws allow you to rethink and walk out of a signed contract within the first 72 hours. That said, my offer of my personal share of $1200 in the deal is still valid. My apologies for any confusion and trouble this may have caused you. All the best. (----end---) Once I tried to proceed he then says he has to speak with his partner about the domain name, though in the email he already tells me that he spoke with his partner (who wants to use escrow.) Doing business with kids gets really old.... |

Country: | If it were I and I do have a partner once in a while, my offers are good and I commit us both. Any disagreement on price with my partner after the fact is between us and I hold to my word to purchase. The buyer here for $6,XXX needs to man up and follow through, if his partner thinks he over paid that is their problem, shouldnt be yours. Sorryto hearthis Rock. |

(----end---) I'd like to see where he went to law school . . . "most laws allow you to rethink and walk away . . ." I'd like to see where the FTC or any State in the Union regulates domain sales by passing a "cooling off" law. Some states or FTC have this law for large purchases like a car . . . but so far, I don't think they've covered domains . . . ![]() And by the way, in a business partnership, the act of each partner binds the partnership.

It doesn't look like the mod backed out, it looks more like he went to bed, who knows, maybe he'll contact you tonight. The offer, $1,200 is the mod's partner's share of the offer. That's kinda an offer, he's saying that his $1,200 is still good in the deal (I'm assuming the mod is offering $6,500 as part of his offer). Hopefully it will work out in both parties' interests.

Country: | Worrying to hear. And the excuse given is rubbish. If you agree to a deal, you have to honour it. No matter if the buyer's partner says no. Next we'll be getting buyers back out because their mom advised them against it...

He actually IM'd me asking a BIN for the domain, I told him $6,300 which was only valid for today, he then came back an hour or two later and said he accepted the deal. There were no provisions in his acceptance about him speaking with his partner. Last edited by Rockefeller; 04-23-2008 at 06:36 AM.. Reason: Automerged Doublepost | ||||

Country: | i don't think its a big deal to back off from the deal (especially when no contract has been signed) - customers should have refund policy in domaining as well and right to change their mind- aka ~~ customer satisfaction policy |

Right now it is between Rockerfeller and Lord Brar. I agree people should be allowed to back out during negotiations but once a "deal" has been reached, it should be done. Who knows the circumstances but hopefully the two will come to an agreement that both sides are content / happy with.

Country: | Well, since you decided to bring it out in the public -- I would like to tell my own side of the story. The situation is not as simple as you are making it out to be and you making this thread the consequent emails you sent me after this show who is acting professional here. When we first talked I told you that my partner in my domaining business is not available at this time of the night and I am myself not able to commit 100% of the funds because of my other commitments and liquidity issues. So, my partner in another venture was online and he was interested in investing in this domain. I had started talked to him at 2.40 AM my time -- and we finished up working out a percentage figure by 2.50 AM. Since you had given me an extremely tight time-constraint, my partner told me to send you a message that we may be very interested in the deal. So, I sent you the message with the terms he had made. Right after that -- within seconds -- as I was discussing the matter with Jon, you sent me a message on AIM to post Sold in the thread while I clearly told you to hold on since we were doing last minute due-diligence. Okay so, it is 3.20 AM and I am clearly well past my bedtime, extremely tired and my partner is still researching and asking questions -- so I give him your AIM and tell him to discuss the matter with you. PLEASE NOTE -- I am not present in further discussion and have absolutely no idea what the discussion between the two of you took place that may have lead to the breakdown of the talks with you. Also, the person who partnered with me for this domain stays in New York and I live in Jaipur. I think if you read the first line of the email, this is what I am saying -- I have absolutely no idea what the discussion between the two of you went so I had to talk to him before going any further. Let me insist again -- if you remember, I particularly mentioned to you that we are doing due-diligence and I will not post sold publicly and start any transaction till my partner has asked the questions he had. You cannot just stick to one technical point when within seconds I made you my current situation aware and told you to hold on. Had I again and again kept telling you or made you wait hours before telling that we are in due-diligence, then it would have been wrong on my part as it may have jeopardized your other negotiations. But that is not what happened here and I did make it very clear to you that we are doing the due-diligence within seconds of the email I sent you on AIM. Yes I agree I should have written we may have a deal but it was 3 in the morning and I did send the message like this in hurry. Don't tell me it is fair to correct a mistake within seconds and be held up on it. In the second point, I guess I put it clearly that I have no idea why my partner went out of the deal and I can not proceed without him. I could only commit to my share of the deal and without talking to him I could not. However, you sent me a message threatening to take this public and implied bringing mob-justice to me. Here's what you sent me -- Quote:

Also please note that at no moment I was acting on behalf of DNForum but rather in my personal capacity. What an excellent pressure tactic you are playing by trying to get DNF involved in it and let the members vent on me. Especially since being a mod is on job where you make so many enemies for enforcing the rules. But on the brighter side, it just showed me the opinion of some members about now. Mind you -- there are always two sides of a story -- yours and others. And it is a shame you decided to take this step without giving me proper time. I hope I have made my situation clear.
