Sale gone wrong

Should probably be mentioned that OP works for USPS….

So is he trying to “get over“ on his employer by keeping the insurance money? And receive the knife back?….

Monofletch Monofletch If you get the same $200 we agreed on ($110 from USPS and $90 from me), how are you wronged? Help me understand.

The knife finally showed up at 2 months. Yes I’m paying less than original, but I waited an eternity.

I think the OP is being emotional. He didn’t ask for money when the knife was delivered… I offered to make up the difference to be friendly. Now he wants me to send it back and keep the $100 USPS paid him.

So what would have happened if the OP was never compensated by USPS and the knife showed up? Let me guess you would have kept it refusing to make further payment and citing "I waited an eternity"??

You lucked out by the fact that the knife was finally delivered and USPS had paid part of it, and you had been totally refunded by the seller!

The decent thing to do would be to return the knife to the OP, asking him to pay the shipping, or pay him his full $200-00. But you saw a gap and took it..........:rolleyes:

It's very simple: the buyer has two choices: (1) send the knife back or (2) refund the refund. If he doesn't, he's a crook.

What the OP does with USPS is his business only.

Actually buyer has a few more hoices ,wether right ,wrong,good/bad One I can think of immediately is just keeping the knife & ghosting seller In my opinion wrong ,but it could go that way

I like my idea split the winfall call it a day Gentleman
 
OP asked for $100 payment when I offered to make up the difference in what USPS paid him. I offered $90 because he was paid $110. Hissy fit ensued.
 
I am not going to even respond.

You are correct , but then I thought about it and it’s not right.


Just return the knife. We can all be friends again.
 
I’m confused about all the confusion here. Seller bought a knife, it got delayed in transit, seller did the stand up thing and refunded (he could have just kept money) now the seller has the full refund and the knife. Pay the $200 or send knife back is the normal decent person thing to do. Big bad keyboard warrior is holding the knife hostage and threatening to “post dms”. Who’s having a hissy fit now?

Almost. USPS paid OP $110 claim on knife that was sold then refunded for $200.

When knife arrived out of the blue after 2 months, I offered to make up the difference in the sale price and the USPS insurance payout… $90. Seller will have his $200.

What difference does it make to you what usps did? Again, decent thing to do should cross into your mind. I can see that’s not the type of person you are.

Yes, but you will be paying $90 for his $200 knife. And he. Is debating this.
I like my idea split the 110 from US postal work out the math
It comes to the buyer owing the seller 145. Everybody got an equal share.
 
I have been discussing this matter back channel with the OP and invited a couple of my colleagues to the discussion.

My thinking up to this point is that it is not the business of the buyer to adjust the price based upon the seller's having filed a claim with USPS. The buyer agreed to pay $200. If he is unwilling to pay the $200, he should send the knife back.

The USPS may or may not come back to the seller asking to be compensated / made whole, but in either case, that is not the business of the buyer, it is between the seller, his conscience and the USPS.

Although this matter will be discussed with my colleagues, my inclination is to give the buyer two options: Send the knife back or send $200 as initially agreed. Right now he has property he has not paid for. That is his only business and concern.

If he fails to do so, my inclination is to ban his account. That will be, as I said, discussed with a couple of my fellow staff members.

100% correct.

Insurance protects the seller.

If the knife goes astray the buyer should always be refunded in full and In this case he was.

Now he should do the decent thing and return the knife or pay the original refunded asking price.

You’re my boy blue!
I think this is pretty clear and Burwabit Burwabit has basically stolen the knife at this point.
