I have to say I've always had pretty good luck on Craigslist not sure why maybe it's just the part of the country I'm in or what but if I told someone that I'm coming to get the game they'll hold it for me till I get there with the cash

I sold an item on Ebay and 1 month later the guy wanted his money back.

He said was out of the country and could not inspect the item sooner than that. Said item did not match description even though there were 12 close up pictures of all sides of item that showed all defects

So of course Ebay had me refund his $$. I since no longer sell on Ebay.

I think that's a little harsh. I think most people in this hobby, even if they are not pinsiders, aren't always out to get you. I think I would have just waited to see if the other guy came thru and then went from there. Or maybe have your friend go buy it and then pay him back. (that's if he has the $$)

There is always other games and, unfortunately not everyone uses pinside to sell their games so sometimes you have to use other sites to find what you want.

Just the way it goes sometimes, keep looking you'll find the game you want. Might even get it at a better price

Sorry I took it the other way my apologies.

Hey is it possible the seller confused you with another person that did offer $100 more?? He might have gotten more responses to the ad than just you?

I am not one of those people. Don't even have a Facebook page and never gonna get one.

Sorry you had a bad experience, though. Get all excited about getting an new game.... and then nothing. That sucks

What game were you looking at if you don't mind me asking. Maybe someone here has one.

Was it for sale by the same guy you were dealing with?

I gotta chime in one more time. I have had good luck on CL. And will continue to buy from there, mostly because there is not much to choose from where I live. So beggars can't be choosers.

I have bought and sold all sorts of stuff there with no problems. Maybe I am just lucky or something. I do just deal in cash most the time. I have taken a down payment on Paypal to hold something with the understanding if they don't show or change their mind I refund as long as it does not cost me in the end.

I just did a deal 4 days ago on game on CL, and ended up instead of buying the game, we worked out a trade for a game I had and I got cash on top to boot. And he has another game I might buy at a later date . Everything went great. He even cover my gas to bring the game I had to him.

Everyone was happy!

I came here and venting about something and catch all sorts of crap for it. But it turned out to be a good thing cause another pinsider PM'd me and we worked out a deal where I just wanted one game but walked away with 2. Well actually 1 1/2 the other game was a project that I am currently working on. But it's all good!

I didn't think you could have a Paypal account without a bank link

How sure are you that he did not sell it to you?? 100%

Ouch!!

Oh Ouch again!!

Sorry couldn't resist

Wow! It just goes on and on.......

So if it goes from my hand, to yours, and then to someone elses, and so on and never see a bank for 5-6 transactions like that, how can they track it.

You all sound paranoid to me.

If a teller asked me all those questions.... I'd tell her mind her own business, and then use a different bank
