Got screwed on EHOH

[mrxsiv]

Jut thought I would let everyone know that the Elvira HOH Premium that was for sale here that sold right away was to me. After we agreed on the price we were making arrangements for me to come and get the pin. He was supposed to get back to me the next day. 3 days later said he was busy and since then, a week ago, he hasn’t responded to any of my text messages or messages on Pinrev.
so, heads up if any of you deal with this guy Dylan from Kitchener/Waterloo.
Too bad as I was really looking forward to getting this pin and the guy just ghosted me. He was new here on the site. Never have I ever jd this happen to me before.

Sorry to hear about that but, thanks for posting. Most of the members on here are decent people that just have a common passion for everything pinball. I guess that there are assholes on every website.

Did you give him any money? If so, contact the police ASAP.

He probably posted it on other forums and kijiji and probably get a higher offer ... the market is stupid.. i am sure you will find another, keep your eyes open ....

Thankfully, I didn’t give him a deposit. I offered it and he said not to worry about. He seemed like a decent guy, but also said he was new to pinball and this forum. Had a few friends try calling him and he wouldn’t answer anyone’s phone calls.

Sometimes life happens too. Family emergency, medical issue, had to go somewhere in a hurry to attend to work or family. Depression onset etc. I know it sucks for you as a buyer who was excited to get something, but at least he didn't take your money.

had the same experience, but he was buying, made an offer and then ghosted. On the marketplace, not here.

I’ve done deals with Dylan and I can tell you that he is a very honest guy and one of the good ones. We became pinball buds and kept in touch. I know he’s purchasing real estate out of the country and he is incredibly busy. If he said he’s busy that’s exactly it. If you’re not willing to give it time and wait till he’s ready you’ll have to look elsewhere. Not sure what else to tell you beyond that. Happens to all of us a times — life can get busy and bring surprises. Good luck wtih your deal.

I would be fine with all of that, but he ghosted me. It shows a moon on my phone beside him in test messages, I assume I am blocked? People get busy, I can appreciate that. But come on, you can text a person back and say that you are busy now and will call in X days. Sent emails, phoned and sent text messages. A quick response to one of them would have been fine. No rush to get the game, just some common courtesy here.
He also said he was coming to Toronto last Sunday and could bring the pin here. Don't you think a call or a text would have been the very least to say that you cant make it?
Sorry, but if I was selling a pin to someone, I could somehow find 5 seconds to reply to a text message and say I can't talk now, but will be in touch soon.

I think given the current market, for pins and original toppers, likely better to hold onto it as LEs seem to be going up a lot these days.
