Thoughts on this deal..

[DEAGLER]

"Billy bob" posts a firearm for "X" dollars. I contact billy bob and said I will take the firearm. He said its mine and we agreed to meet tomorrow morning. He then texts 2 hours later and says some guy offered a higher price and said if I match it it's "for sure" mine. I said no. Do I have the right to be PO about the deal?

[islandermyk]

Yes! Guy already made an agreement... what a f*cken douche turning it around like it's ebay...

[car-15]

yes, if it was a deal on this site post a -1 for the offender in the feedback section and let peer pressure take its course, if it was on armslist it is expected, just send them a pic of your middle finger and move on.

He agreed to a deal and then reneged. Move on. If he is a member here leave him negative feedback.

Yep way to many wishy washy folks out there. I have had 3 separate folks on different boards commit to buy a .308 of mine only to bail at the last minute. Walk away you will find another deal...

[buffalobo]

Bullshit scumbag move on his part. Long ugly negative feedback for him.

[roberth]

Yes you do. He is a worm, probably didn't have a higher offer, just wanted to get more $$ out of you. Alot of people out there are just crap, unfortunately we have to meet them to know who they are.

I sold a bolt action .22lr on armslist several months ago. Had one buyer who contacted me like 6mo prior when I tried selling it and she was all wishy washy and never really committed. Since I wanted it gone, I told her that I'd honor the price I said 6mo prior (which was $110), even though I was including a box of .22lr with it (this is post newtown shooting when ammo was impossible to find). She still was all wishy washy, but I agreed to meet with her and let her see it first hand.

Then, I got 3 emails from other buyers stating they'd take it for the price in the ad of $150. I emailed the girl that I was dealing with to ask her for clarity if she was definitely going to take it or not, because I had other potential buyers who wanted responses that day. She emailed back and said she'd take it, and gave me an extra $10 for agreeing to our first price and for not selling it out from under her.

I think honesty goes a long way with things like this, and it sucks you got screwed over, but definitely post who/where you were going to buy it so we can let internet justice take over.

^this^ and you have to leave negative feedback so we know who they are.
