Not sure how many times I need to type it, but Marko clearly texted he wasn't 100% that he wanted the boat, he can spin his version of, if it floats then yada yada but his uncertainty is what wrecked the deal, nothing more.

Marko doesn’t sound too uncertain when he clearly went to the bank and got a cashiers check made out to him. Sounds like he’s trying to twist Marko‘s words and make it sound like Marko was uncertain to sell the boat for 2k more. [emoji1304]

Are there any signatures of a bill of sale or contracts. No signatures no deal

That’s the problem with the world today! What ever happened to a good ol’ handshake or an agreement over the phone? I understand people are flakes and you have to take the sure thing, but in this case the deal was done! Texting Marko that he told the other seller that the boat was sold, marking the ad sold to an OG member, and Marko sending him the picture of the cashiers check made out to him for the agreement they made!

The world today is a correct statement

Sucks for all parties involved at this point but I agree with the others. Life’s too short to dwell on it.

I would have lost the 2000 on the deal had I seen a cashiers check. That’s about as far as a guy can take it when buying

In this case, would the seller think Marko is untrustworthy? NO! They had multiple phone conversations and texts for a week. The seller is twisting Marko’s words here to justify selling the boat out from underneath him for the extra 2k. Fucking Ray Charles can even see what’s going on here!

Agreed, not the end of the world and it would have been over by now except I had to explain the real story versus what he was telling Phil. Like I said, I did everything he wanted to do to tie up the deal. Just responded on here to defend myself and reputation which means more to me than some people obviously.

And I only got involved because some friends questioned me on how this went down, not RD internet friends that I've never met actual friends. How many of these inmates know you personally? Do you currently own a boat Marko, because another comment was made re your interest in getting back into boating, did I misunderstand that comment as well?

Not true at all, Marko's uncertainty wrecked this deal

Looks like this thread will make it clear who's word is good and who's isn't.

not really, it's obvious the understanding/comprehending of texts can easily get screwed up.

I personally know Marko and see him out on the Strip often with other inmates from here.

It's only one text of many between them you would have to assume.
No different than Edited YouTube police brutality clips.
.
Regardless of who did what to whom and a bunch morality checks, the whole thing stinks when members bash on each other cuz of hurt feelings. Gradeschool shit.
Never anything positive comes of it other than both scabblers adding entertainment to the inmates and new taglines.

I know what I read, I know $2K wasn't the deciding factor.

We’ll see about that! Marko will post the text and confirm what I saw.

I'm asking you too post all the texts? What difference does it make? Because one of your comments that led to your uncertainty was exactly that. "you weren't sure if you were getting back into boating".

fy flaking on the deal. As said earier, he said the other guy wanted it bad and if I didnt want it for some reason that he had 50 calls and the other guy to fall back on, I said jokingly wow, I guess I wouldnt feel bad not buying it then, both of us laughing, it was a joke and he knew it. C'mon, it's obvious what's going on here. The guy is looking for a reason to flake.

Exactly my point, how texts get misconstrued.
Keep posting if you got more

After all the conversations and planning for me to get the boat he could have waited till Sunday morning to see if the deal was going down and then if not the other guy would be right there. There was no doubt in my mind about it, already had the gel repair guy lined out and talked with the windshield guy about pricing and availability. He knew that.

How do you get screwed when your out nothing and it wasn't a done deal?
Did the seller say it was sold to him?
From what's been posted the deal was done as long as boat was as advertised?
Did OG buyer not show up at a scheduled time? Or backpedal on the deal?
Did the seller contact OG buyer to tell him to " shit or get off the pot"?

3 things need to happen for a contract for sale to be valid.
Offer, which Marco did here. Acceptance which Bobby did here.
Consideration, which Marco didn't do here.

My kids don't know what cash is.....everything, including borrowing and paying back $5 from a friend is done by etransfer on their phones.
Marco, you should have etransferred a $100 (consideration) to Bobby when you made the deal and you'd have the boat because he'd have been required to hold it for an adreed upon time for you to come and get it.


Not to argue but just for clarification for other people in here when conducting business, there was consideration in this scenario.

There was an offer on the boat for 24k by the buyer Marko, there was an acceptance of the offer of 24k by the buyer.

The consideration by the buyer Marko was 24k, the consideration by the seller was the boat.

That to be clear is a contract.

Just because the physical transaction had not occurred and the consideration not yet physically exchanged, does not mean there was no contract.

There is no requirement for the buyer Marko to send a small part of the consideration, such as the $100 described here to the seller, just as there is no requirement for the seller to chop 100 dollars of the boat off and send it to the buyer.

It's not worth fighting about as it would cost more to enforce than it is worth, but the more that gets posted, it looks pretty clearly like a contract that the seller breached.

You told him to screw Mario. Your integrity got called out. Makes perfect sense to everyone but you. But that’s why this thread is still going on lol

Never mentioned to screw anyone so enough with the embellishment/BULLSHIT, Again you make zero sense, I got questioned by friends is all.

Why did they question you? Because you’re the one that instructed him on how to proceed :) I really couldn’t care less but I know how to admit when I am wrong

I've asked you a few questions that you seem reluctant to answer, and like I advised him, take the sure deal and move on, no way I would have taken the chance of you backing out, especially seeing your texts. Cash in hand is better then a CC check from someone uncertain.

Let’s really discuss what important.
I’m will be excepting offers on my pontoon at $2000 increments. Let’s start at 90k...
$9200.
I'm sending you a cashier's check for $12,300 so you can cash it and give me back my cash change.

Yup would have been so simple to say that. Instead he said “hey I got another offer I told him I sold it to you” :)

Then Phil says NO DONT DO THAT :p

If I were wrong I would say so, I stand by my advice. They questioned me not knowing all the factors, once I stated them some changed their view some didn't, difference in opinions is all.

So if you already talked to your close friend not just the rdp crowd why start this thread? Sounds like you already explained it to anyone you care about
