For sale follow through

[another magista]

Twice this month I've had firm agreements from the seller's for parts that I wanted to buy only to hear from them days later that "it's already been sold""
In my silly little world, a persons word is everything.......... I suspect that they may have decided that their asking price was too low and responded to a higher offer and if that's the case then put it up for "auction" not "for sale"
My suggestion is to man up when you've made a deal and follow through.

I agree! I've been parting out an '87 quad and have made about a dozen transactions so far. Most of the time my price is an estimate and is not very scientific. After selling something I may realize that I could have sold it for more, but what the heck, a deal is a deal.

You absolutely should point the dude out to the group. That will get his attention.. Might find others in same boat, and prevent the same problem for others.

That is frustrating and it cuts both ways. I just sold a bike on eBay only to have the winner back out on me. Now I have to go through the hassle of chasing him down and dealing with eBay, etc... most irritating.

I have had a disapointing experience with Charles AKA alfaromeos@neo.RR.com.
He was paid July 15th, the last communication from him was Sept. 19 when he said he was shipping that weekend!.......
Be warned.....
He has not responded to several emails since.
