/mod note/
I'll make several points here:
1. Toprez' statement that his offer was 'infringed' is untrue. No change was made to his offer to buy jonqui's item. As posted earlier, the only part of that post that was changed was the removal was his additional comment of: "69 dungs as tips for the mod", as violation of both Rules 5.5 and 2.14. Removing this comment
in no way changed his offer to the seller.
2. While his following comment complained (however untruthfully) that his offer was 'infringed', and perhaps that
might be read as
implicitly withdrawing the offer (even though his statement was untrue), he did not in fact
explicitly withdraw the offer.
3. At point 3 above, Toprez mentions that he continued to discuss the offer with jonpi ingame. "You replied to me in-game saying ... [etc]" and it seems unlikely that this took place inside the 10 minute window between Toprez offer and his 'infringement' complaint. If any such discussion took place following this post:
https://www.planetcalypsoforum.com/...NG-2015-!!!!&p=3453815&viewfull=1#post3453815, jonpi had reasonable grounds to expect that the offer made was still open.
4. While an offer remains open, a seller is under no obligation to immediately accept it.
5. Making an offer, and then reneging on it at the point that other party accepts it - is not a 'scam', however disappointing that may be for the seller. However, members who regularly fail to follow through on offers made in the forum's Trading sections may find their access to this section removed (see Rule 5.4).
6. A significant change in the value of some part of a barter exchange (ie items for items) is reasonable grounds for re-negotiation of the terms. If, at that point, agreement is not reached between the parties then the exchange fails.
jonpi, I'm sure that this has been disappointing for you, but I suggest you draw a line under this, and continue to negotiate with other people in selling your item.
Toprez, I have removed both your uploaded images showing ingame PM's, as violations of rule 2.6.
