<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 2520261, member: 10461&quot;]As a seller, I&#039;ve had stuff close really low plenty of times.</p><p><br /></p><p>I just took the loss and moved on.&nbsp; Ain&#039;t worth the bad karma of trying to wriggle out of the deal.&nbsp; This guy is really brazen admitting it like that, rather than just making up a story about the items being lost or accidentally sold through another venue, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>(I actually <i>have</i> lost an item a few times, and had to give a buyer a refund, in the process wondering if they thought I was trying to play games like this.&nbsp; I wasn&#039;t- I&#039;m just not always the most organized fella around.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Several other times, including recently, with a multi-auction deal I had to ship to South Korea, I had made the mistake of offering free worldwide shipping.&nbsp; I&#039;m happy to do this on a single coin or two when it&#039;s affordable, but sometimes it&#039;s crazy-high.&nbsp; After paying for the shipping, I barely broke even on those items, but I&#039;d still rather <i>give</i> something away and make somebody happy than treat &#039;em like dirt.&nbsp; (Within reason, of course.&nbsp; I don&#039;t mind giving away some &lt;$25-ish stuff now and then.&nbsp; It does start to sting at the $40-50-ish level.&nbsp; But a deal&#039;s a deal.)&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m primarily a hobbyist, not a businessman.&nbsp; But I do try to <i>act</i> like a businessman in my ethics, if not my profit motive.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
