actually these orders don't affect the price guide.as I told you already
the priceguide resets after an order is cancelled.so your talking pure BS.
better to have 'forum police' as you put it rather than allowing OBVIOUS
scammers to operate on bricklink.
|
The price guide gets messed up regardless.
|
Not necessarily.
| | Does anyone really believe 2 new UCS Falcons were sold in March for US$700?
Or even the 1 for $1,000?
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogPG.asp?S=10179-1&ColorID=0
Not a chance, but for whatever reason, those orders weren't cancelled even
though I'm sure the store was closed and the sale was never consummated.
|
Exactly, many of these orders are not cancelled and the data remains in the Price
Guide.
| | Also, some of these scammers actually sell all of their fake sets, so having
a vigilante buy them instead doesn't help or hurt the price guide any more
than the "sale" to the scammed buyer.
|
Your second sentence does not follow from the first. First you say "SOME" scammers
sell all their fake sets. That admits that some do not. Thus, you can't say
it won't make any difference to the Price Guide. The fact is that a lot of
these scam listings do NOT sell and many of these scam stores are shut down before
they can sell all, many or even one scam listing. But an entire inventory buyout
by a vigilante buyer will now put everything in the Price Guide - i.e. a lot
more scam listings than if you just let BrickLink handle the matter. So yes,
the Price Guide will definitely be more adversely affected if these vigilante
orders are allowed or become more accepted.

Huh?
Please excuse me for being dense but......
......exactly how does (at worst) not paying for a Lego order "risk your home
and family's well-being"?
|
Did you actually read the entire post and thread before latching on to this one
part? Because if you did you might realize I was talking in the context of someone
who buys out a store's entire inventory worth tens of thousands or even hundreds
of thousands of dollars. And something that large definitely makes taking legal
action more economically viable. Obviously, we're not talking about a $15
order here.
Now you may, in your ignorance, dismiss it as legal "mumbo jumbo", but both legally
and according to BL's Terms of Service, placing an order here creates a binding
contract (at least in the USA). If you fail or refuse to perform that contract
you can be sued for breach of contract. Any judgment against you could then be
enforced against you by collecting against your assets (e.g. your home) and/or
garnishing your wages.
If anyone placed a $100,000 order with me as a joke or to give me a hard time,
and I knew they had assets or a good job, I would definitely be inclined to take
them to court to collect what they owe me. If that makes me a "bad" person in
your book, so be it.
Thor
|
But would not a contract require signatures?
|
No.
| | Since BL is not in the US would person bringing suit have to take it to the world court?
|
No.
| | Are contracts made on the internet without a meeting of the minds, only accepting
the sites rules, (which would be hard to prove they even read) which would be
a rule or obligation made by a third party be enforceable?
|
Your question does not reflect the reality of BrickLink orders and assumes things
which are not true.
| | Even for a small amount like 100K would be hard to enforce or actually impossible.
|
Not at all. I have sued and collected on much smaller amounts.
| | I can see a judge laughing his ass off when the suit came before the judge.
|
You have a vivid imagination. More commonly it is the lawyers laughing their
asses off all the way to bank because people are so ignorant of the law and legal
system.
| | "This guy is suing someone online for not paying for a box of Lego which was
never sent to him."
|
You know quite well that is not what we are talking about here.
| | I think that here has to be a bit or reality over what is really going on. The
seller would have to prove damages and that there was a loss because of their
stock being tied up. That would be impossible to prove anyway.
|
John, you really don't know what you are talking about here. Damages would
not be difficult to prove, especially with the price guide. And there are more
types of damages and claims than you know. For example, if the vigilante buyer
were also a seller, he could then also be sued for violations of anti-competition
laws and unfair and deceptive trade practices.
| | I think the reality of the situation trumps legalities.
|
The reality here is that we are not talking about your run of the mill BL order.
We are talking about something much more substantial and worth going after. We
are also talking about more than just a mere breach of contract.

LOL! No wonder.

Yes. The topic is about preventing a scam to happen. While you're talking

As usual, your hostility blinds you to reason and reality. This topic is not
about preventing scams. It is about stopping members from appointing themselves
as police, prosecutor, judge, jury and executioner. I am talking about vigilantism.
And, unlike you, I don't consider it a joke at all.

Are you serious?
"members from appointing themselves as police, prosecutor, judge, jury and executioner"

| | BrickLink should prohibit vigilante orders like the one noted in this thread:
http://www.bricklink.com/messageThread.asp?ID=193629
Vigilante orders are bogus orders members place with a store they believe to
be a scammer with the intent to protect other members from being scammed before
BrickLink has time to act on any complaints about such a store. While vigilantes
may claim their intentions are good, I believe there are too many risks and potential
problems with self-appointing oneself as cop, prosecutor, judge and jury in such
a manner.
For one thing, the vigilante may turn out to be incorrect in believing a new
seller to be a scammer. By placing his bogus order, the vigilante harms the new
seller, buyers who might otherwise order from such seller, and the vigilante
himself who now risks an NPB or legal action for breach of contract.
Second, these vigilante orders mess up the Price Guide by validating the bogus
prices to the detriment of others who rely on the Price Guide later.
As others said, two wrongs don't make a right. Placing an order is a binding
contract and, regardless of your reasons, it is just plain wrong to place an
order without any intent of following through with it.
Allowing these vigilante orders will create further problems down the road. If
you justify vigilante orders for new sellers who are thought to be scammers,
someone later on will justify them for not-so-new sellers whose terms they subjectively
believe are invalid, or for seller they think take too long to ship, or for sellers
they believe don't honor PayPal's terms, etc., etc. Once you allow these
vigilante orders, where do you draw the line?
BrickLink should never delegate to any member the power to shut down a store.
Allowing these vigilante orders would effectively make every member an Admin
with the ability to shut down any store they want if they subjectively feel they
are helping other members by doing so. This is a dangerous slippery slope that
should stay exclusively within BrickLink's power.
As such, any member caught making a vigilante order should receive an automatic
NPB.

Anyone who places a order with 100% no intent to pay and it is provin should
be banned. They are just as bad as the people they are calling a "scam" when
they do turn out to be a scam. I fully get that people are just trying to help
out, but they are doing the wrong way. You don't hold up a bank to get the
cops to show up so you can say "look here is one of the FBI top 10, I seen him
in here and thought I would rob the bank so you show up and catch him".

You may have noticed we added this last Thursday. It is a checkbox in the Condition
drop-down that also lets you filter for Incomplete and Sealed too now.
|
Is it possible to have the "sealed" thing added to the price guide page as well?
Like next to where the group by currency and incomplete check boxes are. Would
be great as I will be back to selling a bunch of sealed sets I hope here soon.
