This is the timeline.
12:19 AM - yesterday, Scoopdns PMs in reply to me accepting his offer
1:31 PM - today, I PM'd Scoop regarding specifics on payment totals and if domain could be pushed to my godaddy account
1:34 PM/1:36 PM - Scoop relies to my inquiries
1:45 PM - Scoop PMs me with this "domain will be up for sale until i receive payment, waiting
" (I didn't read this until after my payment was refunded)
2:01 PM - Scoop PMs me apologizing and informing me that he sold the domain to someone else due to waiting too long.
2:10 PM - Payment sent and immediately refunded.
16 minutes passed between Scoop's PM informing me his intent to keep the domain up for sale until he receives payment (the first and only mention of such) and PM on receiving payment from another buyer.
Yes, you did clearly state that, 16 minutes before you informed me of receiving anther buyer's payment. Its clear that you were remorseful on the price and most likely someone gave you a better offer after I made claims. It is also evident that you decided to send me a PM to cover yourself in case I continue to pursue this publicly. Do you honestly think you did the "right thing" here?
I have been away from domaining for a while but when I do buy domains, I like to keep in contact with sellers who earn my respect in case they have more quality domains for sale. At this point I don't expect any chances receiving the domain, however in such a community, your reputation and integrity should be highly valued over a few extra dollars in hand - a tarnished reputation can cost you much more in business in the future.
