Ill make a long story short...

Bought a name from Buydomains via a broker ( was a clients name )
8 days pass and no name
I ask the broker where the name is and whats up
Broker replies the seller went ahead and sold the name private 3 days ago
Broker says his account was suspended and handed over his contact info
If you know or have ever dealt with this guy be careful, he screwed me for a buck, guess what ruining your name for a dollar shows how much YOUR REPUTATION IS WORTH!


At this point I am debating legal action, I can very easily have this name locked down for a LONG time.

I do not think the fault is exclusive to one person. Looks to me that you should never have had to contact the broker. If that broker had that information, he should have immediately contacted you.
 
I agree it would have been nice if the BD broker was a bit more on top of things but I believe he had no idea what happened until today. Besidesm what could he have done, nothing. He probably didnt even realize 8 days had past without me getting the name. Their client sold the name private 5 days in which ment he negotiated and was paid not long after he agreed to sale to me through the broker.

This situation was not BD's fault at all, they had no control and I respect them for suspending his account and handing over his info.

It was one persons doing, the seller, he screwed me not BD's.
 
As a brokerage service, I assume the seller would have entered into some type of contractual agreement with the service.

Perhaps that is the best stance from a legal point of view...working in conjunction with them to file a case...for breech.

And, I assume you would have entered into a contractual agreement as well.

If funds were paid and held in escrow, paying the funds would certainly demonstrate in good faith on your part.
