An email has been sent in regards to the situation. Im not going to come out here and speak on anything of the matter because thats my business, but I will say that its not a damn bit right to ridicule someone as a low life or pos, when you dont know the whole story. Sometimes things dont go according to plan and that was the situation. I wasn't avoiding the man, and I wasn't avoiding to pay him. His emails got backed up and I didn't notice, im a busy man. Im not poor and couldn't afford the tickets, that is not the issue. The games being sold were simply for the fact that I had no use for them anymore, especially considering that I dont even have my PS3 anymore. Why keep games for it when you dont even have one? So dont make me out to be something im not. I work for my money, and work hard for it. I know I will never be taken seriously in anything I say on this site due to this famous thread, but im going to close out in saying I will try to make it right. I shouldn't even have had to come speak on matter such as this cause this is someone's business and more of a personal matter, something such as this shouldn't be turned into a damn movie with an audience. Well you got your laughs, glad you enjoyed it.

Probably not much. But doesn't really matter if it was $20 for a pair....your reputation is only as good as your word.

DC, curious if you ever heard from T.V. re: payment?

I'm aware of that.

I was mainly wondering how much or how little this guy would try to hustle another person out of? I would be ashamed of myself if I sold my character and reputation for $50.

It took nearly 3 months for you to respond. And only after he put you on blast.And why do you need an email to remind you to pay somebody back? Your scruples should have kicked in as a reminder. It DEFINITELY appears as though you were avoiding him.

Why even try to defend myself when all you think of me is as a hustler? As I said before, there's more to the situation than meets the eye. I never avoided him or avoided paying him. And for further reason, I shouldn't have to even explain myself to you. You have no business in the matter. Im not going to go into details over a public forum. I wanted to speak my peace and I did that. You can think what you want about me, I honestly dont care. I just dont think its right to make a public debacle over a matter that doesn't involve any of the other posters.

Goes a little something like this:

Hey thanks for the tix. I mailed your check. Did you get it? Damn, you didn't? My bad. Let me know the most convenient way to get your dough to you. Wouldn't want you to think I was trying to stiff you....

He didn't really step up. All he did was respond to DC_Vol's "attacks". He didn't say anything about a check being in the mail even now. All he said was that he has responded to the new series of emails.

He should have never taken the tix in the first place. If his life situation is such that he can't even afford the tix and has to resort to lame excuses like "my email was backed up" or "I made several attempts to explain why I haven't paid him yet", I'm sorry, but that is NOT how people need to be doing business.

I have no use for people like this.

TheVolunteer -

It was not my preference to handle this matter in a public forum. I brought it here only after not getting a response from you after sending several emails over the course of several months.

This thread was not a "stunt" as you referred to it, and I took no pleasure in starting it. It's been almost three months, and I wanted an explanation. Since I brought this out into a public forum, let's resolve it here. It's probably not your preference, and it certainly wasn't mine back in September.

You did respond to me through email this weekend. I appreciate your response, but I'm not satisfied with it. It doesn't make sense. To summarize your position:

1- You bought the tickets with a friend to go to the game
2- At the last minute you guys were not able to go the game
3- You resold the tickets to a third party for $5 more than I sold them to you
4- You gave your friend the money and he was responsible for sending the payment
5- You got in touch with him each time you heard from me asking the status. And you are sorry if he never sent the payment.
6- It wouldn't be fair for you to have to pay me now since you didn't go to the game and it was your friend's responsibility.

Feel free to correct me if I have misinterpreted your email. My position is simple. I made the sale with you, and you are responsible for paying. End of story. You said to me via text the week after the game that you guys had a good time and you liked you the seats. You even asked me to let you know if I would be selling those same seats to future games.

If you didn't go to the game, then you made a profit off the tickets I mailed to you - given that you resold the tickets and never paid me for them. I'm not sure what to believe from you, and at this point it doesn't really matter. Either scenario, you handled the situation poorly.

But let's bring an end to this now. Those tickets are yours. No payment required. The matter is closed. While it wasn't my intention, I think you have taken your lumps here on the Volnation board.

I am going to treat this as an anomoly. I have never had an issue selling tickets on good faith through this board before, and I don't think it will be an issue in the future.

Go Vols.

I would like to go on the record as approving of this thread. Good work DC. Sometimes this is necessary.

This is an epic thread.

Two sides to every story but if you agree to buy tix, the fact that you dumped the responsibility on another doesn't excuse the buyer's responsibility for payment. Pretty simple. It's called honor.

Nice work DC.
