Agreeing to a COD is a deal. It's set in stone. It's an agreement to proceed with a transaction based on trust.

Cancelling it to sell to someone closer and for a higher price may be your choice, but it does not reflect well you. Ethically, it isn't right.

What happened to me:

I set up a COD with thomassux for RM100 in the Curve on a Sunday. I had to rush out, and sent a msg via LYN as I didn't have his phone number. I msgd that I would meet him at GH at 6pm.

At 5:45pm I was there, in GH, talking to Djinn and all. I had missed ferricide too, cos we were also meant to COD, but I managed to contact him and that was taken care of later. GH didn't have thomassux's contact, and by 6:!5 I had to leave, cos my gf needed me to help her in the shop. I got a call a bit later from thomassux, but by that time I had left, and I told him we'll reschedule.

The next day, he posts the game in Pasar Malam at a higher price, without informing me.

I msg him and ask what's up.

He says the game is his friend's, and he was doing what his friend asked. He then says "Still reserved 4 xxxxxxx... 4 RM120...but if u willin 2 offer more..I can sell 2 u!!  rclxms.gif".

You can sell for a "friend", yes, but "his" actions determine your reputation. So after that I said that this shows the kind of person he was, and left it at that. No more trust, and therefore no more reputation.

First of all, in your case i have 2 dealers ready to deal with. One is you which is the earlier one, and was supposed to meet at 6PM+. That was the message i received. I called you at 6.05PM and you said you are going off. Fine. You said you will reschedule. If you have predetermined a time and you cant make it, there is no OFFER left. You have just change one of the rules of the contract predetermined.

What alternative choice do i have? I can sell it to the 2nd dealer which is at a higher price and the sales can proceed much earlier than your next "reschedule". Talking bout reputation.. i dont give a damn about your reputaion. You said one, and then you said two.. should i just cope with it? I already told the 2nd dealer, if the 1st deal doesnt go through, the game goes to you. From my perspective, the 1st deal with you was already over.

Oh btw, i have COD tons of time which went well and successful. I think 1 of them is bro Zio.. but then in your case, should i say you ffk in the last minute. A call from your gf? It have no connection to me, a deal is a deal, you cant satisfy it, be gone.

Lol, I ffk you? Considering I was in the place I said I'd be, at the time I said I'd be there, it kinda puts a hole into that, no? I set the time, 6pm. I made it there on time. You didn't.

You had my contact number, I didn't have yours. Your call came in at 6:25, when I was well out of Cineleisure and in TTDI already. Your call could have come before the appointment time, but it came at 6:25. I had left GH at 6:15, having gotten there early, and spent half an hour there waiting and talking to Djinn and Dracerys. I called the number you called from the next day to set up another COD, but your father picked up and said you were out, and I left a msg with him.

Ffk is one matter, and it's not really that much of a bother.

What is a bother is logging on and finding out that you relisted the game without informing me, and found another buyer, without informing me. When I asked, you said:

"Still reserved 4 xxxxxxx... 4 RM120...but if u willin 2 offer more..I can sell 2 u!! rclxms.gif"

Where is the ethics in that? We had agreed on a price, and you have found someone higher, and used that price to squeeze a price much higher than the agreed price. For all I know it could've been a scam. Whatever, it just reeks of dishonesty.

I will be closing this thread now. Most of the deals that have gone bad, have gone bad and it is the past.
