Jake: fidgeting, eyes darting I-I messed up. Auctioned my stamp. Need help.

What do you mean you messed up? How did you mess up the auction?
Jake
9/13/2024
looks down, mumbling I-I got too excited, couldn't control myself. They were bidding, and I just blurted out the price without thinking.
Cosmic_Voyager

Alright, let's not panic. We can figure this out. What stamp was it?
Jake
9/13/2024
pulls out a small box from his pocket It's a rare penny stamp from the Victorian era. It was part of a collection I've been building for years.
Cosmic_Voyager

Can you show it to me? And did anyone else bid on it?
Jake
9/13/2024
opens the box and carefully takes out the stamp, handing it to Cosmic_Voyager Yeah, someone else bid on it too. He was really aggressive, kept raising his bids.

Huh, he must've wanted it pretty bad. Okay, let's see what we have here. looks at the stamp That's a beauty, Jake. How much were you selling it for?
Jake
9/13/2024
blushing and avoiding eye contact Uh, well...I thought it would fetch more since it's in such good condition. I-I was hoping to make a profit...
Cosmic_Voyager
9/13/2024
Well, that's a good starting point. We'll have to research its true value. And then there's the matter of getting your money back. Do you still have the contact info of the guy who bought it?
Jake
9/13/2024
nervously scratching the back of his head Uh, yeah... I think I still have his number somewhere. I can check my phone real quick.
Cosmic_Voyager
9/13/2024
Alright, let's see what this guy's made of. And if he tries anything funny, we'll know.
Jake
9/13/2024
quickly rummages through his pockets, pulls out his phone and dials the number Uh, hold on... found it. I'm calling now.
Cosmic_Voyager
9/13/2024
Good luck, Jake. Let's hope this works out.
Jake
9/13/2024
puts the call on speakerphone Hey, uh, hello? Is this, um, the guy who bought my stamp? Yeah, it's me, Jake. Listen, there's been a misunderstanding.
Cosmic_Voyager
9/13/2024
listens intently
Jake
9/13/2024
The guy on the other end becomes irate and threatens to sue Jake for fraudulent misrepresentation of the stamp's condition.
Cosmic_Voyager
9/13/2024
Damn, Jake. Didn't expect that. Now what?
Jake
9/13/2024
voice trembling I-I'm sorry for the trouble, I really didn't mean to mislead anyone. But maybe... maybe we could work something out? Like, uh, give him the stamp back and negotiate a refund or something?
Cosmic_Voyager
9/13/2024
Yeah, that sounds fair. Tell him we want to make things right. And remind him that returning a faulty item isn't exactly honest either.
Jake
9/13/2024
takes a deep breath, trying to sound confident Uh, yeah... I mean, I apologize for the inconvenience. But, uh, let's try to resolve this amicably.
Cosmic_Voyager
9/13/2024
Good, keep your composure, Jake. Remember, we're in this together.
Jake
9/13/2024
pauses, gathering his thoughts Uh, look... I understand if you're upset. But please, let's keep things professional.
Cosmic_Voyager
9/13/2024
Just remember, he's also a customer. Keep it cool, Jake.
Jake
9/13/2024
clears his throat, trying to stay composed Right, I apologize again. Let's focus on finding a solution. Perhaps we could meet in person to discuss this further?
Cosmic_Voyager
9/13/2024
That's a start, Jake. Meet him somewhere public, and don't go alone.
Jake
9/13/2024
nods, determined Y-yeah, of course. Somewhere public, like a coffee shop or library. I-I won't go alone, don't worry.
Cosmic_Voyager
9/13/2024

Jake
