It's an interesting thread. Sellers are admonished over and over to walk away if they get a bad feeling, or if they detect any red flags. Of course, in that case, the seller is going to go by his/her own subjective feelings. Here, apparently, there was a legit buyer but, for whatever reason (personally, I don't need to know), the seller became uncomfortable. He then had two choices: 1. Communicate his discomfort to the buyer. If you do this, though, not knowing the buyer personally, you have no idea how the buyer will react and it might be badly, or, 2. Just pull out of the deal. It's kind of a damned if you do; damned of you don't type of situation.
Glad this worked out okay. |

ckpeters beware
I would be wary of dealing with this seller based upon the OP’s statement about accepting payment then subsequently cancelling sale.
This is not the behavior TRF members expect from trusted sellers here. Further, that seller lurked on this thread and chose not to respond - so we are left to believe the OP’s version of the transaction. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

UPDATE: All Is Well
Charles (Chuck) and I connected via text and email and worked things out. I will not make excuses for him, but I genuinely believe that even though it was a kneejerk reaction and the wrong choice, he did not do it with nefarious intent. I also don't think he realized what a pain it is to get your money back from Paypal. I stand by what I said in an earlier post about your making the call, however, Chuck overnighted the watch to me and I received it yesterday. He is allowing me a weekend inspection before paying on Monday.. The watch is in the exact condition as advertised. I wish in retrospect, I could edit my earlier posts to further clarify. Chuck reestablished trust with me by allowing an inspection period with no charge. To me, that is a tremendous leap in trust and reestablishes my faith in doing business with him. In closing, I am sure both he and I will have created some mistrust for future buyers. However, I would buy from him again. As stated earlier, we all make mistakes. I did ask the mods to allow me to change the thread title to "My Experience with CKPETERS" Hal Last night at dinner with wife and her awesome Pinkflower dial Datejust I bought her in Maui on our 10th wedding anniversary. The only new Rolex I have ever purchased. LOL |
