It's like giving a guy on the corner $20 for gas after hearing a sob story then realizing he didn't need the gas after all.
Iike I said in the OP
I think she got over on me with a "my poor son" sob story.
I found out later that my son was looking for a used box but I agreed to sell it her.
I almost ask her to back out of the deal when I wanted to give it to my son..but I told her I'd sell it to her and I stuck to my word
Now 2 months later it's in Facebook for $300 more than I sold it to her for.
Sorry if you can't see how that might rub a guy a little
But it does me.
I guess I just needed to vent.
And I did and here you are.
As a bonus I also got a $1000 hail damage deductible and 2 weeks of a rental car that wasn't reimbursed and the windshield on the car got cracked by a stray rock on the highway and that was another $250 deductible
So yeah I made out like a damn bandit on the whole deal..

Not quite sure what upsets you. You sold it, she wants to sell it again. Once you sold it and got paid that's it. I sell stuff all the time and I don't care if someone resells it for more than they paid me. A scam is where you don't get paid.

If she flipped it it's what she does to make ends meet wasn't the first time.
I do indeed
Just got a $200 parking ticket in the mail today from Denver Colorado from a Jeep I sold private party 18 months ago.
So I have to pull the transfer notification and send it to dismiss the ticket because that asshole didn't register it in his name
I took the back plate off and scraped off the registration sticker as I recall..but missed the front plate apparently.
I filled out the transfer on the state website and had a copy for my file.
The lady said to send that in and they would drop it
Cant figue out but maybe he switched the front plate to the back and hasn't registered it since he bought it so I get a $200 bill I have to dispute
Cops haven't caught him in all that time
People are lovely

If it wasn't for that spelling error..that last sentence of yours would be absolute gold for the Out of context quote thread..lol
You mind fixing that for me so I can quote you and make fun of you at your expense?
Jk!!!

Allegedly
Both sides of the argument have valid points. We assume people are honest and then find out later that we may have been taken advantage of. I won't name names but I made a sale to a sporadic forum member with the understanding that they were buying it for their personal use so I gave them a better deal than I would have otherwise. A couple days later I saw it posted on TGTrader with MY PICS that I posted for the ad here. I took it as a lesson and no longer choose do business with this particular individual when they pop up from time to time in the Classifieds. I admit, he was free to do with it as he wished but at the same time it burned my ass a bit.
ETA: Besides this one transaction, my experience with every other forum member I have met on the outside (for shoots or sales) has been outstanding. You guys are awesome.

I agree with you vmax. You were a stand up guy and did her a favor by selling her your box at a discount. If she purchased it at a discount in order to resell it at a profit, she took money out of your pocket. If that is the case, she will get her just deserts sooner or later.
Some say that you got paid...what are you mad about? I don't agree with that premise. I think it is wrong to buy something from someone at the "friends and family" price to then turn around and sell it for a profit to someone else. I believe it is unethical. To do so is taking money out of the original seller's pocket....assuming they gave you a deal because you were a friend or a woman claiming to need it for her son.

My posts don't count....
Does her boss know she's doing side deals? It might be against shop policy....
I bet I know who this exact individual is. Sold him a handgun that he said he had wanted forever and was the year of his birth etc.. sob story and all that. Gave him a really good deal on it. The next day over on Texasguntrader it was listed for $200 more. He is still here occasionally in the classifieds usually making an inquiry and then ghosting off again. I have to restrain myself from outing this guy anytime I see him post on someone's ad.
