"I'll take it" Discussion
I have heard from a lot of unhappy people lately about getting beat out on deals, some I sympathize with, some I don't.
Things to consider:
When you are the first person to post "I'll take it" does that mean it's yours and you have a legitimate complaint if it's not? Maybe, maybe not!
Many people posts things at several forums, myself included, so is a first "I'll take it" here make you the legitimate rightful first buyer? No of course it doesn't!
Look at my recent thread as an example:

(Apologies to Andrew in advance for using him to make a point)
It looks like member "Andrew" asked first correct? No! I had a private email offer first and that private email guy bought it.
So does "Andrew" have the right to leave negative feedback because he thinks he asked first? No! Why? because I never agreed to a deal.
When you both agree to a deal and the seller sells to someone else do you have the right to leave negative feedback? Yes! The agreement was a two sided contract that one side broke!
So if you leave a guy a "deserved" negative feedback for his wrong doing does he have the right to leave retaliatory negative feedback?
Well it's not against the rules but you have to be a gigantic irresponsible douche bag to leave a guy negative feedback for your own irresponsible douche baggery!
