For Sale 3 letters .com .net .org Set . Priced!

[Wot]

For the mods etc.

Just had some unsolicited legal advice, I assume from a forum member.

As Rico accepted a change in the deal, i.e. agreed to to pay all escrow fees, then that is an accepted change in the original post where it was $1500 split fees.

Once Rico had accepted the change in the sale ,which I believe he did?, then we are both back in the running. If that is the case then It would appear that I was the first to agree to $1500 plus escrow fees.

I am most certainly not a lawyer but the above seems reasonable to me, biased as I am. Perhaps there is a lawyer on the forum who may clarify this?

Anyway, whoever it was that emailed the info, what ever the outcome thanks anyway.

There shouldn't have been a change in the deal, that is the point. He posted sold. First to post or PM sold without making an offer should get the names. The post did not ask for offers it was a firm price.

Rico posted saying he would take the domains and i pmed him asking if he would make it 1500 + full escrow fee.

Why would you do that? That is a greedy move. That's not what you posted. It seems Rico was the first to agree to the posted terms and not PM an offer. If I am reading correctly, Rico should get the names.

Next time price your names higher Arsenik and you won't have so many upset bidders!

Another way to word it would be "minimum acceptable bid is $1500 and I reserve the right to accept higher offers too."

One problem here is there always seems confusion about the forum name saying 'fixed price and offers.' Many post names here with no prices at all, others say accepting offers only, and other sellers assume they must post a fixed price only. Which one is it anyway?

 

[Mr Webname]

The exact terms of the sale as quoted originally were:-

$1500 for all 3 - Escrow (split fee)

Rico accepted those terms and posted "Sold" so was the buyer.
Anything outside of that was outside of the sale in this DNForum thread and as such would not constitute part of this sale.
Should anything continue outside of this forum then so be it but in my personal view members should abide by the agreed terms of their sale - neither sellers nor buyers should attempt to "up the sale" after an agreed purchase.

But both Rico and I accepted the change in the terms and conditions!! I just happened to accept them first!


I assume then, that irrespective of any legal views that may or may not be correct, the mods decision is final albeit possibly above the law?

 

[Rico]

To be more clear here is what happen :

I now do realize that since Rico was the first of the 2 (rico, wot) to meet the 1500 price that he should get to be ahead in line. I have contacted Rico and Wot and said i was sorry for the confusion and aggravation this issue has caused them. Dealing with so many offers and discussions (pm) was pretty hard... i tried to do the best i could for all involved.

I thank you all for your feedback and guidance.

Wot made the seller an offer - less than the Firm price - this was not an auction.
I posted sold and accepted the deal escrow split fees, after that wot pmed arsenik
with the offer 1500 + full fees.

Are you saying that you did not accept a CHANGE in the terms and conditions by agreeing to $1500 + escrow fees?

 

[Rico]

I accepted the requested price as first + escrow split fees.
Thats that.

 

[Wot]

Hi Rico,

I have received a couple of offers and yours is the second at the requesting price (+ split escrow fee) If you are willing to pay the full escrow fee i will accept your offer and stop accepting more. Please let me know.

Thank You
David

Rico

Hi Rico,

Wot was the first to reply to my pm (only by an hour) saying he would accept to pay 1500 + full escrow fee. I received many offers and i am trying to be fair as i can. If the deal doesnt work out with him you will be the next in line if you are still interested.

Thank You.


Looks like you already admitted it does it not? That changes the terms and conditions of the sale .

Suggest neither you nor Arsenik proceed with the sale as I am now taking "proper" legal advice, and that's that!

Whatever, I now have all the information my lawyer requested on this thread.

I beleive he will now be dealing directly with Arsenik or his representative and I will be making no further comments on this thread as per my lawyers advice.

This is stupid..

I don't feel like sifting for facts so simply:
Whoever posted or PM'd sold to the original terms (you cant change them) should get the name and their should be no legal problems.

That's that.

Where did it say that the mods decisions are above the law? No one is stopping you from getting an attorney, and nobody is forcing Arsenik to do anything. The fact is, the first person to agree to the terms without making an offer gets the names (as many have said, not just mods), that's the way this forum works. You guys have to work it out. Arsenik should do the right thing, and honor his original terms. Based on what's been posted as proof, the first person to post sold to those terms was Rico. If he sells to someone else a lot of people will not bother posting in any of his sales because who knows what posting sold means to him.

PS, you also posted this:

If the mods in their wisdom have decreed that Rico is the winner then I will have to accept that irrespective of my own opinions.

 

[Rico]

You were negotiating with arsenik wot, and didnt want to pay the full price at that time.
I agreed with arseniks terms, and after that you came up another offer.
If you just agreed immidiatley with arsenik, the names were yours.

 

[Arsenik]

Thank you all for your input and feedback. I have started the escrow transaction with Rico.

Please close this thread.
