The character "Vw InSigniA" had been offering to sell me a titan so I got back to him asking if it was still available. He asked for a 10% deposit in order to reserve it which I sent to a third party. One week later we arranged specifics of the transfer and I sent our third party the remaining isk to fully pay for the ship. This was at VW Insignia's request so he could start moving it in jump range of the trade system.
Next day we agreed on a trade time and insignia remained offline until 3-4 hours later. I tried to convo him then but found I was blocked, and my alt with whom I had previously contacted him had its convo rejected. No response has been made to my mails and I have consequently had my isk returned from the third upon request.
I am unsure of what to make of this deal. In the best case I'd say don't expect this seller to hold up his side of a contract. In the worst it's possible that a titan was never being built, and the whole exchange was an attempt to make opportunities to steal isk.
Having received no correspondance from VW after being blocked I don't know which to think. My account of events has been as concise and accurate as possible so future clients of VW can make up their own minds. The third paragraph is complete speculation, maybe I will get a response here. |

So you wanted to pay for a titan..what, to have it shot down a few days later?
Sorry, that was all I could think of.
That, and a clear scam if he ignored you.

If you get burned on the deal, I have friends who can build all but the Minmatar Titan and are trustworthy. Please mail my corp mate Lady Spank for further info. She is currently unable to communicate on the forums at this time.

Thanks for the offer Irie, I'm after a rag though and would like one that's pre-built or close to end of build ideally. |

Buy them pre built, use a good third party and never pay up front for anything.
Other than that, don't ever listen to anybody on this specific forum, its all alts of 3-4 people who keep getting banned but can't stop poastin. ...Then when you stopped to think about it. All you really said was Lalala. |

I have only 1 thing to say regarding a third party in this matter. Chirbba Nothing is more certain than the indispensable necessity of government, and it is equally undeniable, that whenever and however it is instituted, the people must cede to it some of their natural right |

Oh the joy of seeing your name make headlines on C&P. To set the record straight, the titan was sold to a friend for 10b more than he offered. Why would I not sell it to someeone who offered me more? You sir fail at being a troll! -2

Nothing wrong at all with selling for more isk. You should have at least let the guy know you sold it for more and not hide from him. Really rude and very poor business practice if you intend to sell supers on a regular basis. Dealing with that much isk makes people nervous enough as it is and you dont wanna give people any reason AT ALL to doubt you.

Did the OP pay you the 10% to reserve the build?

Thanks for your reply VW, the main issue I had was the fact that you blocked me with no explanation. A simple eve mail message or short convo explaining the situation may have been a more appropriate course of action. Blocked and rejected convos was an immediate red flag to me and I still don't understand why this was necessary.
Fair enough if you got 10b more from another buyer, but if you were looking for a higher sell price why ask for a deposit to reserve it in the first place? It seems my first guess was right, and this was just a failure to hold up your side of a deal. The whole event has been a big waste of time for me; I had stopped looking for other sellers and when we agreed on the final trade time I trained the titan skill in order to be ready.
I decided to use an alt to post for two reasons; firstly so I don't unnecessarily advertise my ownership of a titan, secondly so mails with offers won't me mixed up in the sea of other mails on my main. |

Well since the OP paid 10% deposit, your obligation was to deliver despite your loss. have fun selling stuff when others already know what type of bussiness model you follow

Because reneging without telling the other party is a perfectly acceptable way to do business, c/d? 
Originally by: Leeroy McJenkins There is no real pvp in EVE, there is only winning or losing and then feeling :smug: about winning or sore about losing. There is nothing wrong with this arrangement.

This response stinks of bull****. Nice try scammer. HIGHER price for a "friend?" No contact with the reserved buyer? Enjoy your future business dealings VW, or lack thereof.

if you took a deposit to reserve the sale then it's very bad form to renege on the deal. it WILL cost you money in the long term once word gets around you are an unreliable sort.

Oh no, people are posting about how I'm a scammer on eve-o forums!
What do I do?
Go and confirm all their suspicions of course, burning my own good name. ------------------------------- When I mitigate risks in business, they call me financially sound. When I mitigate risk in PVP, they call me a coward.
I'm still rich, and they're still dead. |
