Billnuts Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 i won this on Ebay http://www.ebay.com/...989428551765866 due to the end low sell price I had a feeling that the seller was Not communicating for a reason I can understand him not wanting to sell 33 beavers and a changer so cheap... but to wait a week and email me this. Dear donthaveroom, Hi, I wanted to contact you regarding the Candy Cable Car. I went to remove it from Ebay and you literally bought it minutes before I could remove it as it had already sold to a Craigslist buyer. Please do not pay for it. I am very sorry about this...please contact me with any questions @ 913 940 @@@@. Thx, Bill - jaqmcm2004 first this went down to the last second i bid of course at 1 minute to go the buy it now was $1399.00 so instead of just contacting me with the truth... hey i cant sell it that cheap would you go $1399.00? nope the jerk makes me wait a week to find out if i need to arrange shipping or even go get it. And for all those who dont do Ebay it might be a legit legal auction But good luck enforcing those options bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdendy Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Yeah that sucks, you can register a complaint with ebay and leave him some negative feedback but your still screwed. What a jerk for not honoring his own auction and then making you wait for so long to tell you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerformaVending Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 What a jerk. Oh well, at least all you're "out" is some time. But yeah, leave some really horrible feedback- a good hit to the eBay rating will at least warn others if he tries something like that again.

English Vending Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 File it with eBay, they might make him sell it to you. I'm pretty sure there is some kind of legality to it, I have heard of the same situation happening before and the person had to sell it at that price to the bidder. Otherwise people would do this ALL of the time when something didn't hit the price they wanted it to sell at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherlock Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 What a bad experience. The seller could have put a reserve price on the auction, but probably didn't want to pay the fee needed for a reserve price listing. He may have figured the machine would pull well over what he was willing to sell for....oops. You could open a case against the seller through Ebay, but given that he didn't take your money, I don't know what your motivation would be to use up more of your time on this failed transaction. Sure, the principle is important and you want to avoid this situation happening to other buyers from the same seller. But, given that you aren't out any money and you will not get the equipment even if Ebay is on your side, then you have little to gain for your time/effort if you pursue this.

bullyfrog Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Atleast if you open a case and leave negative feedback through ebay it will put a strike against his account. BTW...sellers can no longer leave negative feedback for buyers, so no fear of retaliation. Sent from my MB855 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulkjake Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I think this cart would be a money maker. Does anyone have one of these? Where else can you buy them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know what to tell you. http://myworld.ebay.com/abrownvending2012?ssPageName=ADME:X:eRTM:US:1181 Look for the first feedback by me as ompundit.

bullyfrog Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 You left him positive feedback with a negative comment. He has 100% positive. That's what the little green plus beside your comment means. So you clicked positive which gives him a feedback point but then left a negative comment which only counts if someones decides to read through his profile it doesn't affect his score. If you click his profile you'll see he has 2 positive in the last 6 months, 2 positive in the last 12 months, 0 negative ever, his total score is 2 and his positive feedback is 100%.

I'm still ok with that, if they won't let me do it one way, at least I can warn others in some way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDVENDING Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Sorry about the lost deal, that was a beautiful piece of equipment... Just out of curiosity, how much would it of cost to ship that beast. That thing looks massive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRedvender Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 There is something similar in the small mall where I live. I would be surprised If it was servieced every 3-4 months. Nice set up though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

decaturjack Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 There is a similar setup in my mall. About 24 or 28 heads in a square on a two shelf nice wooden thing. I wonder if the vendor has to pay rent and commission or just rent. All those shiny machines attract my kids like flies to honey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont have any mall locations but going to guess rent and comm, thats the standard for most malls regardless if you're a store or a kiosk.

PerformaVending Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 In my mall I have triples, so I have to pay the 50% commission, but no rent as they are in the common areas. I also don't have to pay a sign fee, what the stores have to pay to put standalone signs in the common areas. If I install anything with a footprint larger than a fixed set of dimensions (I don't recall what they are offhand) I would have to pay rent and a 25% commission instead. If I installed my 5-way rack I would be paying $125 a month + 25% gross. My machines don't do THAT well in there anyway. It varies from mall to mall, so ask the administrators or their leasing directors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All those shiny machines attract my kids like flies to honey. my shopping mall crane game is a fixed $300 rent until sales exceed $1,200 per month at which point they take 25% of gross. This is on a 6-mo lease, on a 12-mo lease they would drop the percentage down 5 points (how generous of them LOL). remember these lease terms are always negotiable a little.
