Hi everyone.
Do you think we should amend the forum rules to state that when there is a classified ad, the interested party needs to specifically state "I'll take it!" openly so that people don't spend their time trying, hoping, and wondering if they'll get the deal they've openly agreed to...?
If the person is there viewing the listing, it takes all of 3 seconds(even using the hunt-and-peck method) to remove all doubt of who really is serious about purchasing an item, and I think the out-in-the-open "I'll take it!" is best way.
If the person doesn't take that 3 seconds or less, they shouldn't be able to superceed the public offer.
I think we should make it more transparent, though still leave it up to the seller.
If its a logistics nightmare to wait for the person to come into town or pay, the seller should still have the right to move on to the next viable canidate, or to agree to the terms in their PM.
We all love a good deal, do our best to be good community members, and do our best to honor our deals.
So do you as a forum member believe we could change it for the better...?
Please let me know what you think, and maybe we can make it better for us all.
Thanks.
