Being accused of Trolling?

Fun4life, I talked to you about all this on AIM. Why do you persist on trying to make me look wrong because you seemed to be trying to troll? First you offer me the phone on hardforum for $150, then raise the price to $175, I do not respond (my inbox/outboxes were full on hardforum so if you sent me any messages afterwards I had not received them), and then not long after you offer me the phone here on Anandtech for $150....it all seemed fishy to me, how you mysteriously upped the price but then proposed the sale for $150 to this account here on Anandtech. This is rather immature of you especially after we talked about and resolved this on AIM, looks like you are just looking to gain a few brown nosers or turn this story against me and give me a bad reputation somehow for suspecting you of being a troll.

Re-read your PM's ... he said he had SOMEONE ELSE offering 175.... he was not trying to get you to pay more than 150, in fact you already said without a charger you werent buying it, so it sounds like you just felt like dragging him down on some trumped up allegation.


It is not uncommon to have 3 offers in on an item, especially when some are trying to work a trade, or negotiate a price. You may be able to find them for $175 new somewhere, while another person can only find them for $200 new, and is willing to pay $175 used.... as a seller you have to keep all lines of negotiation open and clear, and him telling you that he had another offer "on the table" but not solid yet, was him being a good trader on the forums and keeping you in the know *(or trying to get you to make up your mind heh)

You guys are great.......I would like to clear something up.
I didn't want it to come to this but when someone wants to accuse me of being a troll.......that pushes me too far......and like KarenMarie said "Calling someone a troll is a serious accusation. It can have widespread affect on his potential to ever trade again."
This is the only reason why I posted here........so others know the story. I have never made an accusation that imstillbutters was a bad trader/buyer/seller. But by not letting it go, I have no choice but to pursue.

I try to be up front with all buyers and let them know the condition of the items interested in and if anything is missing............basically I sell as others should sell........pretty simple.

Thanks again for the support !!!!
