It's kinda of funny to me.
I thought that if you posted an item for sale here that you should at least check the thread for an offer to buy prior to making the sale off site on the chance that someone here beat your other 'customer' to the offer. After all, posting it here is an offer to sell and first come first served seems to be the most fair method of transacting. At least that is how I operate when selling something on the web.
But seems that some folks want to knock someone who backs out of a sale, but not be tied to selling to first 'i'll take it' responders if they just happen to have a convenient buyer off site.
I don't claim to be a rocket scientist but this seems a little bit of having it both ways.
By the way, this happened to be very recently and I didnt leave negative feedback.
To me, benefit of the doubt is a good operating system and keeps us from having to deal with all kinds of rules. But abuse of our relaxed system will probably, eventually mess that up for everyone.
I am not defending tire kickers who selfishly back out of deals and tie up folks merchandise etc... But both sides need to be considered here IMHO, they both important.
Keep in mind that people use various methods of selling items. Depending on what I have for sale, I may have it listed on up to 6 sites (ie.. ebay, craiglist, NWFA, Outdoorstrader, and Guns America). There is good/bads doing this. Multiple emails and offers can sometimes get mixed up or lost in the shuffle. I always try my best to make everyone happy, but this is not always possible.
LOL It sounded like that was an option to us here.well there isnt that choice right now. i was making a suggestion for admin. sorry haha
