Cels Forum

Hi, I don't believe in slinking around, I own up to my
decisions, good and bad.  Yes, I was the dealer who had
the 2 Langrisser cels Phaarna had wanted.  She is mostly
telling the whole story.

The only thing I can add is this:  When I confirmed her
order, I metioned that I was going to post more
Langrisser cels fairly soon, to which SHE responded on 11/14

======================================================
"You'll be posting some more?  I certainly would like to
see them before finalizing my order.  Definately let me
know when you put the new Langrisser cels up!"
======================================================

Please note the phrase BEFORE FINALIZING MY ORDER.
Translation: Her order was not final.

The next day, I got an offer on-the-spot from a guy
locally, he called me on the phone and wanted to see my
whole collection in person.  He offered me over 3 times
the posted price for the Langrisser cels.  He had cash,
and I knew I probably wouldn't get another chance.  I
thought, "Geez, I probably shouldn't do this..."  but at
the same time Phaarna said that she would only later
"finalize" the order.  Since I hadn't yet posted the new
cels I had no "guarantee" that she would even still want
those same two cels, so in effect I could have lost both
sales.  I sold them to the man for $70 and $80.

I wrote back to Phaarna and told her what happened, and was
very apologetic.  I offered her the two remaining
Langrisser cels for the same price as the first two.  Of
course she was quite upset (as you can tell by this thread)
and she had no interest in the two new cels.

In any case, I made that decision.  I admit it: While I do
love cels tremendously, I am in the business of selling
things on the internet for the money.  I can't say it's the
noblest thing I've done, but I must live with it and stand
by it.  I have probably hurt my reputation.  If this means
that you guys won't ever buy cels from me, so be it. I
understand.
