Ethics continued

I had a similar situation earlier this month. I posted my mountain bike for sale on craigslist. I posted it for a very good deal not really realizing what it was worth. I recieved an E-mail and a call from a guy whom wanted the bike but wanted to negotiate. Another man emailed me a minute after I got the first email and I told the guy I was on the phone with that the price was firm. He said he wanted it. I emailed the other guy back and told him that the other buyer was first and if it fell through he was next. He emailed me back offering more money. I realized I had listed the bike at way to low a price and was kicking myself, but as I told my sons that day, he was first in line and thats that, although I could have used the extra $100 (yea that much and that hard to turn down) fair was fair and he was first. We had made a deal and as long as the first guy followed through (which he did) he would get the bike. It was my mistake and a mans word is his bond.

We a winner. I can't tell you how many times that the price has changed between the phone call and me getting there 20 min later.

Wow.... It's more inappropriate to post this, then it is to take a better deal when it comes along

The mere swapping of phone numbers and make a quick phone call can sometimes made a deal real simple and eliminates some possible disenchantment. IMHO.
