I have nothing against
healthy skepticism about the .xyz extension and sales. I think a few reasonable questions are being asked, but too many baseless assertions and accusations are being thrown around — like this one here.
@narbuq , First you anchored your claim of the sale being fake on a not-so-subtle insinuation that there was no buyer (“buyer”, as you put it) … Then you shifted the weight of your claim to the seller reporting the sale before all installments were received.
Implying that there was no buyer is an attack on the seller’s integrity. If you’re going to do that, you need to back it up with actual proof and be ready to receive similar treatment at some point.
Buyers bailing after paying one or more installments isn’t strange; it’s a common occurrence that happens with ALL extensions. And it’s why some sellers don’t allow installments or only allow short spreads. Should the seller have waited till all installments were received before sharing the news? Yes, it’s always best to. Still, it’s not like the seller reported this sale to NB or DNJ, they shared it on their own social media page (as is their prerogative). Others circulated it and people understandably congratulated them for it.
Based on
available details, this was a failed sale — not a “fake” one. There's a world of difference between failed and fake.
