That is just SAD! If that other person never got involved this would have never happened. Now the seller is completely delusional!

The board has nothing to do with this, it's an e bay auction. The seller has nothing to do with the AFCA, the member who made the offer did not do it within the AFCA. I do feel the AFCA should not be involved in anything outside of the AFCA. They can ban the the person who made the offer, but that will not stop this person from doing the same ting in the future. This kind of thing happens all the time on e bay. I guess if you play the e bay game, this is going to happen sometimes. E bay does not care, they only want the fees from the seller.

Hi Steve!

Ditto's on your post... The AFCA only handles things regarding the AFCA... We do not have a means to handle conflicts like this... The only thing we can do for members with conflicts within the club is to mediate the issue... If that fails it is all we can do and hope cooler heads prevail...

If the seller borrowed Jim K.’s photo from this discussion I am sure they now realize it will now be hard to sell even at original price.

Original post was in regards to the seller and continuing to blame the other buyer after David clarified the issue is just illogical as well as the comments pertaining to arbitrating private transactions as a burectratic body through 3rd party platforms such as Ebay.

Wow, sorry this happened David. Unfair and unethical behavior on both of their accounts.

Ps - notice the red text "A seller you've bought from" on the screenshot? That's from the sale I won that he reneged on.

Once bids have been made, on eBay, there are very few allowable ways to end an auction early. The item was broken. The item can not be found. The item is no longer available. The latter is to provide for items listed on multiple sites and sold on the other site. Side deals off ebay between a seller and a buyer are expressly forbidden. Based on the discussion so far I could not have concluded which of these options were used to cancel the auction. According to Ebay rules this type of behavior, if proven, will cast the seller his account for life. File a grievance and open a case on this. Ebay will get to the bottom of this...

He then refunded David's money so he could sell it to the member that made him the offer "After" he already sold it to David.

If I saw that Westinghouse at a flea market I’d consider buying it if I could walk away with it for $30. There are quite a few good parts if you need them and what appears to be a decent ilg blade..maybe a little higher but certainly not $175 plus shipping. I always wonder if they have a clue it’s a frankenfan. 

Also the phrase “ it powers on but the blade doesn’t turn” hmmm... I guess it doesn’t actually power on then, does it?


Anyhow, I’m always entertained by sellers like this that stretch the truth just to the brink of misrepresentation.

Boy, I really feel your pain David...that was not a good way for the seller to do business. This is exactly why I rarely buy antique fans on ebay, although it may be worth the risk sometimes. I usually just drive to meets, or visit collectors/estates who are selling a few things. I would probably do ebay more if I didn't find enough just from going on roadtrips. Just picked up a couple brass fans yesterday from a seller about 2 hours from my house.

E bay is about making commissions on sales, nothing else.
