stormy how good to see youin trying to compare - if "thebrain" had done me a similar courtesy = I dealt only with you directly, never here through the trader forum = and come to me first instead of running to post on the board about my sale to her and then subsequent purchase - so this was not at all about trading - I would have been more than happy to try to resolve things directly.As it is - the original buy from me goes back to July/August so it is way more than a month in how she is bringing ALL this to light"I honestly have to say, I have had more than one person come to me in a trade or sale situation, only to find out you left someone on the hook with a very expensive pony he or she did not need or want."Honestly, I would like to know who these folks are - I will happily buy back these supposed "very expensive" MLP that they do not want - I have more often than not regretted what I have sold = mostly for less than I paid for unlike yourself and "brain" who are very adept sellers in the overall world here. I have not had nearly the decades experience to get the buy low beat the trend and sell high curve you two are much better atand since, Stormy, you bring up the deal about the Mexican blossom rehair or not, I will say that yes, I have learned much since parting with her (although I will remain staunch in my criticism that you failed to disclose the ink stains she had and never thanked me for the additional hair conditioning/flat-ironing I did to improve her as I tried to figure out rehair or not) and I am thankful you honored the return and I would happily follow in your footsteps in that regardif I had been given the opportunity to buy back the GITD I would in a heartbeat. But I was not given that opportunity -I was simply posted about without any knowledge that there was a lingering problem. I never posted about you here in the trader forum, I never posted bad feedback about you. I understood from the get-go that there are two sides to the story and I moved onbut here - fine - I have to go back to my purchase history from originally 2012. I had a pretty wicked time with a GITD ebay auction in the UK. Person was a total scammer. So I lost the postage fees to return a child's hat I been mailed in the stead of the MLP since they had already sold it - possibly to a member here, dunno. But ebay refunded me for the pony cost since the item never came. So I took my loss as a small lesson learned and moved on.So fine, I posted on nirvana I wanted a GITD - even joked I would be happy to stand in line to wait my turn. That's how I remember knowing AJG aka thebrain79 (which I find fascinating as a character choice association from "Pinky and the Brain". My "names"? My yahoo handle - taken from my home address - so shows you I joined here without really thinking through the whole persona thing and "shoppergrrrl" so I am not much of a seller.... but I digress) wanted a GITD. I think she posted in nirvana as well.So I contacted her end of July in a PM = "have a GITD princess for you :-)"have a GITD princess for you :-) « Sent to: Applejackgirl on: July 27, 2013, 02:29:03 PM » lemme know if you are interested :-) thought of you first before opening up for bids and stuffI'll send along pics if you are interested :-)Monicaoh yah, another reason I kept MCM - it's McMonica - a way ol school nickname = figure we are all just big kids here - young at heart ... sorry if at this point, though I am gonna be a bit more cantankerous mareSo from thereas PMs go, not horrible, not the best way to communicate over days/weeks/month compiled with my bad math and bad memory for what I wroteA GITD I won on ebay/bought for $425 (plus 5GBP shipping) I offered to sell for a total of $450 since I was adding in accessories but not a red dragon, and then we added in 3 regular US princess ponies at $10 (so I was giving away about $20 worth of MLP for $3 each).So I forgot at the time she mentioned a trade - and that was my comment from seeing her sales later - not a lament or anything more than a "darn, if I had known from back in the summertime, I would've been fine to keep it ponies for ponies". Just because I totally get the expense of this "habit" now and as much as yes, I am fine to take payments as I have been grateful when folks here accept from me the same, I am just as cool to not want to break folks' piggy banks. But I wasn't upset or demanding, more of - didn't mean to have caused you to drag out with payments when you had nirvana I would bought from you... but I was the only one who sent pics over and honestly I dropped in pushing to find out what she had to sell/trade. So like my earlier comment - that's the nature of messaging - not ever as easy as in person sales/trades. So I compound my stupidity and AJG doesn't come forward honestly and correct me from my bad math = fine = call her a "good business pony". All about getting the best deal. So from the total of 467.50 that we'd originally agreed on than it became several payments and I mis-calculate the total from her payments sent over and she only pays a total of $425 over the next couple of months from August through October.And I don't send over the Serena, Tiffany and Primrose. And apparently I sent over the wrong hat (that took me awhile to realize what I sent over wrong as I thought I had gotten things straightened out after my son "helped" me organize the accessories as I was moving the princess ponies around to make room for a very special MIB variant...anyhow)So I go back to my PMs and realize later my bad math cost me - again. So fine, I goofed and mailed first class with tracking (although you are right I failed in my courtesy to tell you the tracking beforehand) but no insurance as we had already discussed that it was more important that she not get lost = she wasn't going to break. If needed, I can copy/paste that PM.So she writes to me that the accessories are wrong and mails them back. I am finally now sorting through old PMs to figure out the whole mess/goof-up and realize now she hasn't paid for accessories at any rate and so I'm fine to have mailed her the fiskycat GITD for free as a thank-you for her paying as a gift through paypal (saved me the fees). So I am thinking that is a win-win. AJGs comment earlier is right - stormy - you had just sold a GITD for $500. So she knew I hadn't sold her an overpriced MLP.So that was the end of the GITD sale. A $500 pony sold for $425. So please AJG = tell me you want me to buy back the pony, I will gladly. I will happily keep her in my herd again. Just lemme know.I'm gonna take a break here and then post about her ebay sale to me where my original payment (as a gift through paypal discounted $5 and thought to give her $3 more than an ebay sale but she was having none of it and so took the $8 for herself, I guess since she still felt hurt to not have gotten a steal from the GITD deal... fine.)
$425 has been paid according to paypal records. I have had sellers folks here refund me my money back and tell me - sorry I am no longer selling this item. So is that what you want, AJG? I will be more than happy to offer you a refund if you are unhappy. There is no way we should expect our community to be such to ever force one party or another to ever complete a deal they regret.Right now, I so regret ever contacting you and offering you a GITD. So please let me know if you want a refund of your $425 and I we will figure out how best to work it so that the MODS know you are indeed sending me the GITD back - maybe I park the money in escrow or whatever. Stormy I forget how we did this? You got the item / I got the refund? I remember I wasn't originally asking for the whole amount back but that's how we settled it in the end so I am fine to make sure that this situation ends the way I've had it happen to me before and how the community generally accepts things to happen.
"Lastly, I will not be disclosing any names of disappointed traders who had transactions or so they thought with you. But going forward, please just learn from this."
The current value of the pony really isn't relevant, as that is not the price you asked for. You asked $450 for the pony and accessories. And AJG didnt' receive the accessories, so at $425 it seems like it's pretty much even to me. It doesn't really seem fair to imply that a bad transaction is fine because the buyer got a good deal on the pony.I think actually seeing the PMs would clear a lot of this up because AJG says she contacted you telling you about the issues and you are saying you never knew you didn't send what she asked for.
stormy, your paradise auctions on ebay, I thought? That's the GITD sale I referred to"Lastly, I will not be disclosing any names of disappointed traders who had transactions or so they thought with you. But going forward, please just learn from this."that's because there aren't any... you of all slaughterhouse survivors know this game = well played nonetheless
no - no this is not about scamming = this is one huge big pile of misunderstanding that so proves my messaging is so way worse than in person communicating because we cannot get any inflection or body language or any of at least the 75% of non-verbal communication that is helpful in sorting things outbelieve me, this is why I didn't become a diplomat = my blunt style does not translate well I agreePost Merge: January 02, 2014, 01:38:01 AM"I am not a member of the slaughterhouse, or anything like it"fine, bad reference to early Arena days of which I only know by being unable to open that link...never said omitting half the story is you lying - again, this is all about proving perspective is not reality. Each has a viewpoint of what is going on, and it doesn't always match and we are all now trying to sort it out. Now about your retelling how you remember all that time ago what happened all I am gonna say to that is that is not how I saw it, each entitled to their opinion and you did your damage as you felt entitled to with my one and only EVER negative rating - so I would think you would be sated at this time, but perhaps not... whatever makes you happy in the end - hope you are happyso thank you, Stormy, for clarifying if it was instead a Spoosh sale = than I apologize for my not remembering and crediting the seller properly.Here's my philosophyTwo monks walking along a path, one old, one young. It is morning. They come to a small river/stream. Monks are forbidden to touch women. There is a woman standing at the river bank. The older monk picks up the woman, carries her across the stream and puts her down. The two monks then continue on in silence. At days end, the younger monk states "Why did you carry that woman?" The older monk replies - " I put her down at the river bank, you are still carrying her."So I find out now, AJG has been carrying this mess in her head for all these months and so am trying to sort out what she wants me to do, with what I want to do so we can all move forward
