Maroulis, I truly appreciate your efforts to resolve the situation. However I feel no resolve is required with respect to the sale.
The issues are as follows
I submitted an offer for the remaining 42 domains.
CoolDomain accepted.
I replied that I will load up my paypal account and transfer the funds. I clearly stated that it will be up to 48 hours.
He replied back requesting my Moniker ID and requested that he changed his paypal email where I was to send funds.
Couple of Hours Later he told me he got offers on 2 domains and only 40 was now available.
Which was fine, however shortly after which he put the 2 domains up for appraisal on this thread, and started to claim that he sent a PM stating that payment had to be immediate? I gave him the benefit of the doubt and asked him to show evidence of the PM. Cooldomain went on the defensive stating he was not obliged to save PMs and then stated that it was a delivery failure. Once confronted with the evidence that his story was flawed he then changed his story stating that he does not save PMs and then changed it again calling it a DN Forum issue.
During this time I was flamed with numerous PMs from CoolDomain asking me to stop my comments and that he would make a deal further confirming his guilt.
On each occasion I refused, after about the 8th PM I publicly posted that the only way this deal would go ahead was for the original agreed 42 domains be transferred, upon receipt of transfer I would transfer PayPal funds, I said this without prejudice and it was NOT and attempt to SCAM domains.
I stated that if he does not accept the deal, then no hard feelings. At no time did I state publicly or privately that CoolDomain agreed to this. CoolDomain did however agree to go back to the original deal on the proviso that I delete all comments on this thread and the original sales thread, then he negated that deal with another deal for 40 domains, then back to the 42 and then withdrew due to some kid appraising one of the domains for 10k.
CoolDomain has now latched onto this âSend Domains Before Paymentâ as a justification to distract the attentions of the members from his own guilt and the fact that he had been caught out lying and in an attempt to discredit my name along with his one man entourage DaveZilla.
Clearly CoolDomain could have at anytime put his hands up and admitted that he was at fault; instead of blaming every man and his dog.
I respect honesty, and I do hope and request that this thread remains; if only to serve as a deterrent for future CoolDomainâs out there.
I do personally believe that his conduct is worthy of a Temporary Ban but that decision is down to the admins. While I do appreciate that this thread is off topic, I do believe that my initial reply to it was justified given the situation, I would have happily left it at that if not for the character assassination attempts from CoolDomain.
Again I thank Maroulis for his kind offer to usher the deal through, but I do feel that it would be hypocritical for me to accept in light of the comments made. I will however reimburse any out of pocket expenses Maroulis may have already made.
In conclusion, this thread really is a testament to the fact that a select few view this board as a means to flaunt unethical business practices while offering no contribution whatsoever.
