buyers/sellers that DEFAULT on contract


Anybody ever had a buyer or seller DEFAULT on a deal/contract? What did you do? I recently had a DEAL/Contract (I have ALL the threads) and the seller defaulted. I plan on filing a small claims lawsuit, (pro se), against him. Any other suggestions to remedy these situations, when they happen? (I'm sure there are some lawyers among us audiophiles!) Share your similar experiences?
Happy Listening!

Hi Angela,

I would post negatively if I still had the email address. I had really mixed feelings about this man for a long time. You're right to notify Audiogon. He didn't hurt anyone. But, he's aggravated me. THAT'S CERTAINLY NO CRIME! In fact, there are many who might send him some money if they knew that. Probably my family included.

If I can resurrect the email, I'll post.

Best wishes,

Are you kidding? I've had lot's of "done deals" which fell apart. Recently, I had a buyer for speaker cables who wanted them for a little less than I was willing to sell for. After a few emails and a long, long telephone call, he was comfortable and we struck a deal between my ask and his offer. I would ship upon receipt of certified funds. Next day along comes the email that the certified has been sent priority mail. That night I got a call from "Mr. committed" who told me that he had read a review on AUDIOASSYLUM and "DECIDED NOT TO BUY THE CABLES"!

Call me stupid, but, I don't get it. I then ask about the check that's been overnighted. I'm told that he stopped the package???

I think he's a bad guy. I write him and tell him that I'm really troubled with his actions and haven't decided what I'm going to do about feedback, since I feel that he's been dishonest with me. He tells me that he doesn't care if I give him bad feedback, since he has a second Audiogon account anyway!

I litigate for a living. I don't do it for my own account unless it's my business. My time's worth a lot more than "getting even" with this a...hole.

I bet the same is true for you.

Best wishes,
