![]() | Seller Backed Out...User: Big12Inch... I wouldn't say this is a -1 or a +1, you can take from it what you will, I was going to buy this: Glock 17 for $350 http://ingunowners.com/forums/firear...ck_17_9mm.html I told him I would like to purchase and we agreed on a time/place, but he couldn't meet until Monday night, which was fine by me. I ask why such a good price - out of curiosity......Seller tells me that ...he doesn't..."look at making $20 on a gun or losing $5 on a mag as a big deal.." Then I get this msg a few hours ago. "I had this gun up for sale on another site and last week a fellow sent me a pm and I marked the gun as sold...I did not hear boo from him for 3 days and thus I listed it on this board Wednesday...Well he came back from spring break with his kids and even though I can't say he was the best communicator I did tell him he could have it...he is alos paying $400 and lives 3 miles from my house...I want to be fair and I know we had a deal but I i did "jump the gun" and did not give him time to get back to me...I also feel somewhat like I owe this guy because he is paying a premium and I have done business with him in the past. I appologize but I am going to have to back out of our deal. Feel free to give me a -1...I know I probably would." I guess I would expect this behavior from a larger site, but not from this one. Hopefully others don't go about business in this fashion. Why put a gun for sale on this site, that has already sold on another? Secondly, why back out when a buyer is ready to purchase on the site you already made a decision to put it up on? What bugs me the most is I came across another good deal, but didn't purchase because I already had committed funds to this seller - guess I should have just backed out? ![]() |

![]() | I feel your pain. I was looking for a car mid-summer. Found the one I wanted. I called the guy at noon and setup looking at it later that day around 5. I'm in Indy he's in Columbus. I told him that I just wanted to check it out to make sure but 99% that I was going to get it. It was practically sold. I get a call around 3 saying "Sorry but I just sold it to a guy that said he wanted it a week and a half ago. I hadn't heard from him until now and he just showed up with cash." What an ahole. |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | The problem with "first come, first serve" is that no two people have the same schedule. If I'm first to read the ad, and I say "I will buy it", but I don't get off work until 5pm, then the seller should wait. If the third guy in line is OFF that day and says "I will be there in 20 minutes", then it seems a bit unfair. Just my opinion though. I've been burned this way before, lol. |
