Mattaudet reneged on our deal??? - 10/29/16 09:43 PM
So I agreed to give this member his asking price for a nice S&W pistol on 10/21. On 10/22 he pm's me and say, OK, I will give you a call. He says I missed his call but I received no message on my phone. I reply to his PM and confirm my phone number. On 10/23 he says, Ok, I will call you later this week. I reply that the 24th would be a good day for us to meet as I was off all day. That same day the exact same pistol comes out for sale on VGT, but for $180 more than his asking price. On 10/25 I notice the add for his pistol is gone. I get a PM that day stating; "I have marked the topic sold but it is not sold yet just have had too many hits on it now. I am going to try to work out meeting with you. You were the first to inquire".
I PM him on 10/25 and say, ok thanks. I get nothing from him since the 25th. On the 27th I send him another PM and ask if he still has the pistol for sale? No response. On the 28th I send another PM and state the following: "Okay, it has been 3.5 days since you said you marked it sold and were selling it to me. Since then you have neither contacted me nor logged on to VGT. You have my phone number and I've sent you multiple PMs through VGT stating I want the pistol. Please don't tell me that you have sold it to another member or withdrawn it because you think you can get more for it later. I hope I am wrong. That said, if I don't hear from you by Saturday evening I will consider you to have reneged on your agreement to sell me the pistol for $400. I will post feedback accordingly. You can check my feedback. If I say I will buy something I always follow through. Please get back to me to work this out. Thanks!"
So... I have not heard from this member at all after he agreed to sell me the pistol at his asking price. He pulled the listing stating he was going to sell it to me. I checked his feedback and found that he has done this same thing previously.
I hope I am wrong and that something has come up and prevented him from being able to get onto VGT to communicate with me. Should that be the case I will amend this feedback accordingly. I really hope I am wrong and this member follows through with his agreement.
ETA 11/1/16: So yesterday I check my phone and I notice that I have a voicemail from this member. The VM is telling me that he was out of town unexpectedly and that is why he didn't ever get back to me. Tells me that he still has the pistol and will sell it to me. Only problem is that he never gives me his phone number on the VM. My phone never got an incoming call from him so I assume he called when my phone was off.
Today I check my phone and find a text from him stating that he is listing the gun on Armslist since it seems I don't want to deal with him now. This text msg if the very first time I have ever gotten his phone number from him since I PM'ed on Oct. 21 stating "I will take it" for his asking price. So, I check Armslist and sure enough, there is the nice little S&W 3913 I agreed to buy and him to sell to me, but listed for $50.00 more. So... I conclude that since he hasn't read any of my PMs in the last week nor given me his phone number contact him that this is over. At this point I don't need the pistol that bad and hope he gets his new asking price on Armslist.
