I thought you already had a deal in place with another member on the Acaeum?  Is this how you do business?  This is a small community and when you try and close a deal based on trust and turn around and try and use that closed deal as leverage within the community you just solidify your status as a jerk or scammer, choose one.  I understand you won't put it up on eBay because you don't use PayPal- the deal you closed had the buyer already PAYING you, but you wouldn't connect any bank account or info to the PayPal account, so the only option is a wire or check which has no recourse- have fun trying to get someone to do that.  

I have a feeling that your 2K offer is now exactly a Zero-dollar offer, so have fun trying to find someone willing to send you money with no protections.

You should have been an honest and trustworthy seller, you could have really made a mint on these, but maybe you still may find someone crazy enough to risk a couple thousand on an untrustworthy stranger. I just hope it isn't someone I know.

LOl...you are not going to get 10K for just the set of books  

I call bullsh*t and then bullsh*t again.

Double, Triple, Quadruple bullsh*t, horsesh*t, monkey sh*t.

You are going to use a friend's paypal? It's not that hard to set up your own.

That's my take on it

So you had an agreement to sell the books and accepted money for them but then "changed your mind" to sell them for more.  I'm curious here ...my knowledge of US law isn't great but isn't this something the original buyer can sue you for (in small claims court)?  You sold the item to them and are now really trying to sell their item to someone else? If the difference in value is thousands of dollars it might be worth their while.

The only reason I mention this is because I remember reading a case on Ebay where a seller refunded an auction then sold it for significantly higher and the original buyer sued the seller and won.  You negotiated a price and accepted payment - whether or not you could transfer it to your bank account or not likely doesn't matter.  You still sold an item and collected the payment.  If you had the money to "refund" it means that you had the payment - any other logistics are not the buyer's problem.  It is really up the original buyer on whether he wants to pursue or not - probably depends on how badly you pissed him/her off.

I would too if I found out I had paid for something and the seller was fishing around for more money on a forum.

Let me clue you in on something Ningnang, $2000 was a good offer on those books. When you looked at the Auctions seeing the 1st Print Box Set going from $8000 to $20K, that was because it had the BOX!!! It might not make a lot of sense but it is the box that completes what you have. Without it, you do not have a complete Box Set.

If you want to use your car analogy, its more like ... imagine you bought a car, paid the seller, got the keys and drove away.  The next day you go outside and find the car is gone and seller left a note in your mailbox, here's your money back I found someone willing to pay more so I took the car back.

Wow $2K sure does go far in the US.
