bro myvii,

you bought this before right, STAR WARS ENDOR AT-AT? how much is it in KL?

no...i remember someone in this forum bought it from a friend for RM400...talking about this At-At I got a FFK seller today . Suddenly he told me got someone offer him higher price . Well, just for the rest to take note...search in the garage sale for imperial walker and you know the seller lah. Funny thing is he is also trying to set up a flea market in another topic in this forum saying the flea market is for collector only so that we can get cheaper price. O ya sure bro. ..

i just dont get with ppl that ffk whenever got a better offer. even though got no contract binding but still if you already agreed to deal then by hook or crook must proceed. not because of last night or tomorrow morning suddenly got another guy counter offer with a higher offer then deal called off. well this show your credibility as a seller among collectors but guess the ffk seller dont care at all.

a good example, when i helped bro myvii bought his venom from XL. i dont even know who is myvii but i just went got it and pay on his behalf. came back home realized venom looks good with my spidey. was thinking if tell him tak jadi jual also can and he dont know me and cannot touch me also! but i didnt do that i met with him proceed with the deal. it was then we knows each other and becoming friends. in return now he helped me getting toys from XL since I am no longer in malaysia.

so next time when you wanna ffk another collector just think 300kali worth it or not

Hey guys,

"Noooo, Commander! D: WAI U 1ST DAY ISSUE?!"

Now hang on my wall

judge where to get that episode 6 Imperial Shuttle?

Was wondering is Anakin same height as Obi Wan in EP III?

Obi Wan suppose to be a tall old man in EP IV but he seems shorter in EP III, but the Sideshow Obi Wan is same height as Anakin... while I know Luke is much shorter than them.

hehehe someone selling it for NZ$350 here in auckland... i think not cheap lah

but this 1 is cheap i think NZ$145

where can i get a light sabre here

bro qiksilve...GT at BTS has it at 499, they have one hanging in the ceiling..ebay malaysia a guy selling loose at 330. I think I pass all this big vehicles until I have space.

I saw AT-AP at retail! o_o but I no money

Let's not kid ourselves. The reason we are selling our stuff is to make more money to buy new stuff not charity. If can get better offer why not? It will in fact be silly not too. In fact if you really like the item that much, you will matched the offer. If you don't want to it just shows the other buyer likes the item more than you and maybe in a way better to go to that person cause he sees the value of the item and will appreciate it more.

Of course, at least the way I do it is I will ask if the first buyer wants to matched the offer or not first. But so far I have not encountered any situation where I get a better offer la.

Judge-the, your example is flawed because you are not actually selling the item but instead buying for someone else and then deciding to keep it for yourself instead. That's personal.

On the other hand, here we are selling for money and the only aim of a business transaction is making a profit, hence only logical to go for the better offer. It's only business.

noisetrigger - i agree with you at least ask the 1st buyer can match or not as courtesy. that would be a better approach and likely one will say ok lah since you got a better price. I actually have 2 experience when I told the first seller I got a better offer from a 2nd seller. And I ask 1st seller can he match or still insist that I buy from him as agreed. You know what, he replied and said that he is happy that I found a better bargain and ask me to go ahead and no bad feelings. I am still in contact with this collector. This is world class act man. The other is my other seller who told me lately the stock he got has increased in price due to currency changes. I asked him how. He said he will sell it to me as the agreed price earlier. I said are you losing money and he said yes. Then I said I pay you the current price. You might think i am nuts but then he did sell me other items before well below market price. give and take lah. But to me when agree means agree lah otherwise dont agree in the first place. In actual business world I dont think people will come to you for renewal business if you dont stick to your agreement. I think what judge is trying to say is that there are other things as important or better than just higher profit. At the end of the day, it just a material item, a toy, a collectible. I am not bother whether i get the item. Its the way people behave that irked me. I am happy to have met collector like judge and quiksilve and the 2 sellers i mentioned. I highlighted this FFK seller for fellow member information only. Well, this gonna be a long debate if we go on. Probably have to start another topic and not bored other collector here. Shall we not discuss this and move along to more interesting collection or haulinggggggggggg...

for those red text sorry i couldnt agree with you at all. yes some of use really going all out for profit but some dont. i met couple of forumers here that dont totally out for profit.

well i'm not a hardcore collector so my real life example maybe out of the context as you said earlier. but for me personally if you committed/promised to a buyer then you should close the deal. true profit is the main thing but dont you think it's silly when seller promised xxx price then told you sorry he got a better offer so deal is off. then why dont you go into ffk section in garage sales section told everyone it's ok to ffk buyer because seller received a better higher offer so deal if off.

yes i do agreed with what bro myvii said. it's all about how you behave with your buyer. you just need 1 bad experience and that's more than enough.

This goes both ways. Mywii gave the perfect example, just as it is the right of the seller to look for the best possible profit it is also the right of the buyer to look for the cheapest possible deal.

Then I present this rhetorical question, if you agreed to buy some thing from this guy for XXX amount but then found much better YYY deal, will you still proceed with XXX deal?

I am not sure of the details of how it happened with mywii but it will be unethical for the seller to not at least give mywii a chance to matched the offer. If he didn't and skipped mywii totally I guess we can say he is a FFK seller. But if he did and mywii declined, then we can hardly say he is a FFK seller.

Added on January 13, 2009, 8:22 pmA good seller will understand the right of the buyer to get the best possible deal and the same goes for the buyer to understand the right of the seller for highest possible profit.

As for whether selling the item for the same price if the item arrived higher than projected the way I do it is if I take deposit then I will still sell at the agreed price. To me, taking deposit, is really the same as selling the item so I will still honour the original agreement.

If never take deposit, it's fair game as I didn't owe anyone anything. I will just update the new price stating the reason/s for the price increase. IF they are ok with the new price, they will still buy, if not I can't do anything also.


Yet, this is where it becomes tricky, despite taking deposit or full payment and upon arrival, the seller realized he can't sell at this price without taking a big hit, it is also not wrong for the seller to refund everything because doesn't make sense to loose money.

See, my point at the end of the day is, since if no money exchange hands, and only agreement by mouth it's a very loose agreement and fair game for both sides. But if got money exchange hands (i.e deposit or full payment), then it becomes a binding agreement and there is an obligation to honour it.

In actual business, even if there is contract, things don't always go according to contract due to unforeseen circumstances and when that happens, like you say, give and take. Not always also sue sue sue because of minor deviation. If like that, no project out there will ever be completed. But if the changes if way off the original agreement, of course, actions must be taken.

bro, i got the details from bro myvii on what had happened but i think myvii himself wouldnt pursue any further on this thing. anything just up to him. for me it's enough since i just need to voice out my dissatisfaction towards ffk seller.

i'm not good at all giving real life examples as what you did, just forget about it. different ppl different point of view on how to look at ffk so no hard feelings. continue with HAUL-ING!

woke up 20mins late, lost STAR WARS ENDOR AT-AT
