This is why I think some regs should come to together and decide on concrete rules, since buyers and sellers seem to have very different conceptions of how the Marketplace works.
I have to correct this because you are so far off base. First, you say "how do MP standards not matter when the original ad was placed in MP" Just flat out wrong misrepreseting everything in this thread(Not sure how you could say something like that if you actualy read every post itt but whatever) - then you blow past that point when corrected as if its not really a big deal one way or the other - its a very big deal.
Then you say "he used the MP for confirmation pruposes" - NO, again... flat out wrong. He used the market place in order to attempt to change a booked bet done via pm - having nothing to do with the MP - and never directly contacted his backer.
If Galen had posted a thread in "internet poker" changing the terms of his bet with crisp would it matter? Obviously not. If Galen posted something on his blog prior to the tourney would it matter? Obviously not. Just because he posted something in the marketplace doesn't mean it holds any more weight than if he had posted it in the MTT community. One side of a privately booked bet can't just post something on the internet for record - and think because he made things clear prior to the tourney (even though no communication with the other party took place) that everything is cool and the other party must accept the new terms. Honestly, even though no angling was even close to going on, how is it fair to crisp that Galen assumes that if he posts something anywhere on the internet for record prior to the tourney crisp is forced to accept those changes and doesn't even have to be notified?
Also, how does using the 2+2 pm feature to book a deal have anything to do with the market place? I'm sure there are tons of people that have booked %'s or traded shares via PM that have never bought or sold action in the MP....so all of a sudden they have to be at the mercy of MP regs for some reason? Deals negotiated and booked via pm have absolutely nothing to do with the MP - that's the crucial point that needs to be recognized here.
I'm not advocating for 25%, as I think crisp should give him some kind of break considering the intentions were pure - but I really don't think he is obligated to take 20% for Galen's assumptive mistakes. I've said my peace and hope it works out for both parites involved, GL.
