--- Quote from: fallacy on May 04, 2023, 03:20:08 pm ---By the way just not selling to someone does not make you a stupid seller, like I said no one is running a business here it is first come first serve. You can get mad if you agree to leave to meet him for a sale and then when you get there he tells you he just sold it, now he just wasted your time. --- End quote --- Actually, an agreement was made, along with a time set to complete the transaction, and the seller did not honor this, perhaps because his neighbor caught wind of the sale and offered an extra $50 (or whatever.) This makes the seller someone devoid of any scruples and who has no regard for what the potential buyer may have needed to do in preparation. What if the buyer had rented a trailer before calling him to tell him he was setting out? Shuffling a work schedule around and going through the time to borrow and hitch-up a trailer to complete the transaction was bad enough, but it could have been much worse. The appropriate thing to do would have been for him to tell his neighbor that someone was coming to buy it, and he was next in line if the buyer declined for some reason. In this case, the seller exhibited that he was lacking in any sort of honor, so my buddy probably dodged a proverbial bullet. If the seller was willing to conduct things in the manner in which he did, there's no telling what he might have misrepresented about the condition of what he was selling. |

It is still a gray area, I would almost say waiting to look at anything the next day … There is no holding for anyone to leave it at that, he could have easily got there, looked at it and said this is not going to work for me afterall. Also if someone he knew wanted it vs someone he will never see again, well tough luck. |

I have bought from you. Why don't you update your website and stock from the 90’s. I was looking for the black iL Eurojoystick and you don't even have them. Making me shop at paradise arcade. |

Making me shop at paradise arcade. --- End quote --- Because their perceived value over the HAPP version of the same stick is a matter of opinion and they aren't, IMHO, worth importing from Europe, especially with the ever-increasing costs associated with doing so. What does that have to do with a private seller reneging on a deal and leaving the buyer out to dry? I have a friend of over 20 years who sees the seller/buyer dynamic the same way as you appear to. He's drowning in his acquisitions. Could be coincidence, but I tend to lean toward a causal determination. BTW, notice I didn't state that I wouldn't buy anything from you, only that I don't think I would personally enjoy the process, based on the responses you've given. I bought from much surlier types with great outcomes :lol |
