[Venting] Shady activity by poster King of 40 Acres

That's some crappy **** right there. It makes baby VY cry.

 

Don't you guys watch mob movies? Never go against the Family.

 

Actually, it's just a contract, period.

This would be a case of estoppel if there was no consideration given by one of the parties. In this transaction, both parties offered forth their respective considerations for a promise to act on the behalf of the other party. Just a plain ol' contract.

 

I still don't believe there was a contract. Unless someone with a JD can tell me otherwise. Hilarious.

 

Contract or not, it was wrong and I would be upset as well.

He obviously has no regard for other people.

 

I think everyone is in agreement it was wrong.

 

I would never screw over another clutchfan. Even if it were someone I disagree with on the board. This is like a brotherhood. You don't do that.

 

i'm not gonna argue on a technicality but it's no different when you take a bet with someone. a handshake isn't a "contract" but if someone lost a $50 bet to you, is it too much to expect that person to pay up?

 

I would like to hear King of 40 Acres' side of the story.

 

You might be wrong.

 

i like to think of baby vy as an ice dancer, dressed in an all-white jumpsuit, and doing an interpretive dance of my life.

 

I'm a certified paralegal and I can tell you its a contract.

Just because there isn't some beige parchment with a dotted line and an X on it doesn't mean its not a contract..

 

yea, two sides to every story. however, i don't think this is gonna end well unless King ponies up the moolah assuming what airbullard posted is true.

 

There are people who think what Ko40A did was right?

Edit - I guess we have to hear his side.

 

Ban him. Or, better yet, stone him! YEA!

That is really uncool. It's not your fault he showed up early and didn't want to wait on you. As far as I'm concerned, you had a contract which he broke.

 

I'm sure there is somebody with a JD on these forums, but I can tell you that I've been knee-deep in Contracts issues the past couple of weeks since my Contracts II exam is in a week and this is pretty basic contract formation stuff - something which was learned in the first couple of weeks in Contracts I class.

 

Never said it has to be written. Just said there was no consideration to bound Ko40A. Does promising to act count? Legally speaking, not the right thing to do speaking.

 

Me too. A lot of people are jumping to conclusions without hearing everything. Even if it is true, I think it is kind of a dick move to call someone out publically. I'd be pissed but I don't think I'd make a thread about it.

 

That's my point.

There has only been one side represented. Ko40A is getting stoned to death and he hasn't even voiced his version. If he did, then it might change peoples perception.

This should have been handled between the 2 people, instead of in this forum, but that's just me. I'm reading it, because it's entertaining. I have a feeling it's going to get even more entertaining before it is eventually closed.

 

Does the legality really matter, i don't think he's trying to take him to court, except for the court of public opinion. Right now, the majority seems to think it was a douchebag bush league thing to do and I agree.

I would like to hear Kingof40's side, but if things played out like they've been described, I think anybody who sells things on here should not do business with him.
