30 days? . I put my books up at auction here for $1, the have a gude value of about $600 and they sold for $50, I also stated that I would only charge1/2 price for international shipping. The weight of the lot of books forces me to ship priority $33 and I am paying out of pocket $16 of that actully. What I am saying is that Tis is a smoking hot deal for the noob and now the no response thing. 30 days? Now if I received a request like, can I pay you in a month I would certainly be so accomadating. Having heard nothing. Keep in mind I did not run a sale and get GPA+ on a book and made a good flip, so waiting for an imaginary deal isn't so bad. I am losing so big in this deal and having to wait 30 days is just wrong on top of it.

[Re: Junkdrawer]
Looking for a pretty good answer about a situation I'm in at the moment. Hope someone can guide me through it as expected here on the boards. Last Thursday I auctioned off some books here to a new boardie (Kat5040) and I sent an invoice/messege. I got a response stating that the books would be paid for on Monday (2 days ago) This never happened. I sent a messege Monday evening around 10:30 pm est and til this moment it's been unread. Whats my obligation? How long do I hang and wait and when is this deal dead. I personally wouldnt mind not even selling the books. I just spoke through PMs with Annihilus and Zonker, both have open unpaid issues with this same noob boardie. The outlook isn't hopeful and I wish to move on and consider my deal dead. Should this noob come back to earth next week/month and say that Junk welched on a deal...well I dont want that over my head. Help me out here please. Thanks again. Chris
If they said it would be paid on Monday i would give them a few extra days and if still no payment consider the deal dead and move on.

If you're replying directly to me ... I'm pretty sure I said 10 days for the buyer to pay, not 30. As for the price of the comics, or how good the deal is, I'm thinking that's irrelevant.

I'm in a situation now, where someone is not communicating. They took some books on a thread, I asked for a 20% down-payment and for completion in 3 months. They paid part of the down-payment and I have not heard from them again, I've asked twice, just to give me a schedule when they will make the time payments and to complete the down-payment, they read and don't answer. It's not quite 30 days. It's more frustrating because they read the pms and don't answer.
But actually, I'm OK with waiting, the 30 days rule works, it makes it simple...frustrating, but simple.
I think 10 days to pay without communicating is too long and I certainly think waiting 20 days to ship without communication is too long, however...the 30 day rule...well, it's simple, so I'm fine with it.
If we start modifying the rules more, it will be too hard to keep track of all them ...for example, let's say I really need the money, and I post all transactions will have to be paid in 3 days, or 24 hours, or 2 hours? Let's say I'm impatient and I want the book I paid for toe be mailed tomorrow, or last week?
We have to remember a few things, we don't pay fees here and we voluntarily police this forum. Further modifications will create a lot more traffic in this thread..
I feel junkdrawer's pain, I really do, but I guess it's a decision you have to make when you decide to sell here.
My guess is however, since the person is new, if they are not posting and you wait at least 14 days, you'd be pretty safe to assume that you are not to hear from them again... and I may have to add some language to make my time payment policies stricter. I usually say 3 months, but I might make it 30 days.

Not at you directly SpeedyD, as I am sure you are quoting what I have also read. I'm just feeling the insult added to my self inflicted injury.

In case you missed it, the boards now have a one year expiration on editing posts, as opposed to the old 2 week period. Really helpful for the FOR SALE folk.

It was the lot with the Blackhawks and the other SA DC stuff, right? 19 nice mid-grade SA DCs was, indeed, a pretty sweat deal for $67 postpaid.
Speaking as an international collector, I think that the (non)buyer should be added to the Probation list just for being dumb!

If the buyer said he would pay on Monday & then didn't pay, didn't he break the deal? Why should Junk have to wait 10 days/30days/whatever? The terms of the deal were broken by the buyer.
