Packer playoff tickets for sale.

[JD]

Figured I'd ask the scoop family if anyone is interested in buying my three packer playoff tickets.  section 112, row 28, seats 1,2,3

Aisle seats, great view of the whole field.

I have offers for $200/piece all day.  Let me know if you'd like them.  Ideally trying to get $250/piece.

Thanks guys/gal

Help me understand.
You offer to sell the same tickets on your Craigslist ad and there you are..."hoping" to get $200 apiece:

But here, you hope to squeeze yet another $50/ticket from your fellow scoopers; is there an MU surcharge?

lol

Ha,  well after receiving 20 plus messages last night I decided against that.

If you look on stubhub they're $300, so 20/20

[MUsoxfan]

Why are you scalping on this site? Seriously, that's a real jagoff move

[JD]

I guess the 80 page NFC north thread would allow me to assume there are quite a few packer fans here on scoop.  That, along with Marquette being in Wisconsin.  Forgive me, please..

[MUsoxfan]

Then why not sell them at face value?

No one cares that your selling them here. We care that you came on here deliberately trying to get us to pay $150 extra for the tickets that you're selling somewhere else (and have offers for) for $200

[JD]

As I said, they're listed on stubhub for $300/piece.

After receiving 30 messages last night on them, I figured I could probably do better.  So hindsight is 20/20.  People were asking $325 for tickets in the same area.  I figured $250 was fair. 

[keefe]

I love Scoop. God help me but I do love it so...

[jficke13]

How dare a man wish to maximize the economic value of an asset he owns. The proletariat cannot stand for such activity!

I love this every time you do it....just great on so many levels.

I learned in my Business Law class many years ago that if offer something for sale at a certain price, and someone accepts that offer, that is a legally binding transaction.  I had friends who got a great deal on FSBO house that way because the sellers didn't have a true idea of what their home was worth.

I believe you may owe those tickets to the first guy on Craigslist who said he'd give you the $200.  I don't know, however, if your "hoping to" language allows you to weasel out.

Then he should put them up for auction.  Not list them at various prices in different forums hoping he can get someone to bite.

This is not entirely true.  It often happens that people put a home up for sale, receive multiple offers (sometimes exceeding the listed price) and then decide to take it off the market and re-list at a higher price. 

At least for things like houses, the seller must also sign the offer contract.

[mu_hilltopper]

You've since deleted the listing, but when I read the page (by my memory) you offered them at $200, not "this is an auction, email me your best offer, starting at $200.  After I get a bunch of offers, I'll pick the highest one."

I have no problem with an auction, as long as it is listed as such.  You got a ton of $200 offers because .. that's what you were asking.

As a note for the rest of you .. A fellow regular Scooper's daughter bought off Craigstlist 4x$200 tickets for last week's GB game.  All fake.  $800 lesson.

Here's the answer-- if you wanna piss with the big boys, pay Stubhub, aina?

Yeah, we also learned that what is technically legal and what ends up happening are two different things.  Also, having the offer and the acceptance both in writing helps (hence an offer contract).  My friends got the homeowners to sign an offer contract the day they listed (or rather, put the ad in the paper).

And in the house example, it has to be an acceptance that is completely free of any other contingencies (qualifying for a mortgage, passing an inspection, selling the old house), which rarely happens.

I am not saying someone is going to sue the OP over this, but in theory, he could.

JD,

You know the right thing to do. I am sure you do. The StubHub reference sounds like a Detroit Lions lineman. lol. Craigslist's rules are fair.

Sell them for the very decent price of $200 , to the first who met your offer and chalk up your meager (very meager) paper loss to the regret of a  "not asking for more" experience.
Good friends, good relations, and good reputaion are worth inestimable amounts, but a broken moral compass points to a less rewarding path. If nothing else, restore a scoopers belief in doing the right thing. lol

My daughter has been learning a bit about this, but fortunately has not been burned...yet.  She currently is in possession of two good and authentic tickets to a very desirable concert (in her estimation...your mileage may vary).  She keeps wanting to "trade up" on Craigslist and other sites to get tickets right by the stage.  She was about to pull the trigger on a ticket website a few days ago but before I let her, I had her google the site.  It appears that the site's reviews were about 50/50 "this is a great site" and "the tickets I got were bogus."  Ultimately, she chose to not risk it.

There sure are a lot of questionable ticket re-sale sites out there.  I'm a little paranoid ever since watching someone get turned away at the gate at the Fiesta bowl with some very good fakes.  I tend to stick with StubHub and other big brokers.

I'm pretty sure advertisements are considered an invitation to negotiate and not a set offer. Especially if details still need to be discussed to fit all the requirements of sale. Legally I wouldn't see any ground for being forced to sell at 200 but kind of a dick move.

[Coleman]

Thought scoop had a no scalping rule, but mods can correct me if im wrong. I've only sold MU tickets on Scoop, but always at or below face. I don't mind going below face if it ensures butts in seats at the BC.

[LegalEagle15]

Advertisements (such as these types of postings) made to the general public are not within the realm of the legal "offer" for a contract, but rather an invitation to deal. The exception to that are rule bounties/rewards. So if he were, for instance, to offer these tickets as a reward for the man or woman who painted Bo Ryan's house blue and gold in the middle of the night, that mischievous and heroic Picasso would be able to claim the tickets.

[Coleman]

Does it rub anyone else the wrong way that someone would use Scoop for profit when Scoop is a service provided for free to us by our gracious mods?

Selling at face and/or trading is one thing. But outright scalping doesn't sit well with me.
