I agree with Elek, name and shame. The name of the member needs to be revealed as we do not need people who are in this game to blatantly profit from others. Obviously this person has never heard of the terminology "Gentlemans Agreement"

And if the seller has "bills to pay" then why are they buying product when there is obviously more important things in their live. Also wouldn't the money they would be getting back from Ming help with these bills.

I have my suspicions as to who the other party may be

Might save a other members from getting taken by him also.
 
sorry to hear that Ming...pretty ordinary practice really, unfortunately agreed deals dont carry much anymore, and its all about profits, which one can understand in business, but its also nice to look after fellow forum members and adhere to deals...hope you get a case for a good price! IM so pissed off i didnt pre order, i could have, had the dollars and thought i would wait for it to "soften" before i bought in...missed the boat!!!LOL...
 
If that's how it went down, it's pretty piss-poor form!

I understand that people make money, and they (businesses) do this FOR a purpose, and that's to make money. 9/10 times boxes which are brought into our Country, ARE sold with a profit, wouldnt make sense for them NOT to do it.

BUT, if these businesses want the Australian hobby to support them, they need to sharpen up a bit. Overseas' sales are doing them out of our business, and when shit like this pops up, it's no wonder.

I feel sorry for the one who had the boxes for you Ming. To "have" to sell them for a marginal difference and NOT to you, after making the agreement, is very sad, IMO.
 
As far as I know, the product was sold out even before sellers started to flog them off for insane prices. My guess is that the seller has purchased it at RRP about 1600-1800 per case and is trying to hit us in the pocket. What sorta bills do you have for 10k? lol
 
If you decide to name, just make sure everyone allows a response before burning them at the stake! Nothing worse than being found guilty without a fair trial!
Just saying!

I have had people do the same to me recently, including someone that was mentioned in this thread for 'good reasons', but I get it. Hypes like this cone around once in a blue moon and you don't always know how to handle it!
 
Sorry to hear this news mate, I've purchased many AFL cases off you in the past under similar circumstances and you have always been flexible & honest. I can see how a greedy member that shouldn't be would turn you off the hobby but you would be missed around here.

I'm all for exposing them but I understand if you don't for personal reasons, Karma works in both ways anyway especially in this hobby.

Good luck mate.
