question for GS,

[DRT]

No Deal for me. Don't care what his story is. People can make up stories and have nice family photos. No need to creep on the guys profile. Even the Clinton's have nice family photos.......

He broke the agreement, it's gonna stay broke.
It's a sale, not an auction to the highest bidder.

I'd walk away.. to me it's just like someone who offers 60 percent of asking price. Low ball me and I'll keep what I have for sale ..

You agreed to buy it and he agreed on the price. The deal was made. He broke the agreement. I dont care how broke you are, or how bad yiu need the money, a deal is a deal. If it wasnt enough he shouldnt have agreed on the price.

Personally I wouldnt offer more after he broke the deal regardless of actual value. I wont knowingly deal with people that wont honor their word.

Yep.

If I were the seller, I would have told you to pound sand ya cheapskate

If I were you and he changed his mind on your low ball offer then either pay his asking price or let him sell it to the guy who knew it was priced right from the beginning. No real reason to be upset about it.

Be glad he's giving you a chance to still buy it first for what he was selling it for. If it's worth it and you want it then get it.




All that aside, if I made a deal with you I would honor it. You walking away from something you said you would have paid full price for doesn't help you at all.

It isn't too uncommon to make a deal with another individual and then have them never show up.

So as a seller, is the item sold when you make the deal, or when you actually have the cash in hand?

A seller can never really know how serious a buyer is. How good is the word of a stranger?

So essentially, the buyer is saying hold this item for me, even if someone else comes along and offers more or the same price.

And as a seller, do you cancel your listing based on a verbal agreement - with no deposit?

I've bought and sold a lot of private sale stuff. To me, it has always been understood that the item is still for sale until cash changes hands. If you (or I) can't get to the item that day, you run the risk of somebody else getting it.

First come first served.

What would any retail sales organization do? They are going to sell it to the 1st individual who can pay.

We all know our word is good. The seller doesn't.

[skeeter]

Depends on how bad u want it and how good of a deal it is. Is said item readly available, one of a kind, good price?

[rjtkdplus]

If you want it for $400 pay it. If not, move on. But either way I wouldn’t get too worked up over the morals or lack thereof of some random dude off Facebook.

This.

If a seller comes back, trying to hit me up for more than was agreed upon...............I'm out and he can eat it. I don't care what it might ultimately be worth, or what his personal situation might be at the moment. He set a price, and agreed upon a price.....should've been a done deal. That's how I roll, as a buyer and a seller. But then again, I usually always price/sell my stuff for less than it's probably worth, just to move it quickly.

Really!?!?!?
Do you not remember how ugly their little duckling was/is?

I would decline his offer. I'm a stubborn old fart though.

[BTLowry]

The Joy's of dealing with people. If that was done to me I would not even respond to his message. Hard times or not, agree to something and honor your agreement.

We are typically looking in the classifieds for deals. Otherwise buying new has protection built in. I want to get to the lowest price with as little interaction as possible, agree to the price, exchange goods and move on. I dont want my time wasted in this back and forth bs manner.

Since when is 12.5% low balling?

Missing the point.....

[AntlerCollector]

Agree with this

When it's $350 for a $400 sale price. It's free to ask though.

A deal is a deal. Just move on IF you can't trust him to keep his word on the price what makes you think there is only a 100 miles on the tires.

[Quackerbox]

Heck that even happens here

yep.

Buying and selling. I had a member agree to pay a certain amount for some wheels. He said he had to run to the bank or some crap. Came back in a text an hour later offering less or no deal. Nope sorry. Sold them on craigslist for more money

[Jcjohnson]

Did he say anything about OBO in the add? If you had the 400 and would have spent it. Why not just offer the asking price? It’s a chance you take when you offer low.
