Maybe Im confused?? Gray area...

When buying from the "for sale" section:

If I say that "I am very interested and would like to plan a time to come and check it out". I want to make sure it is described as stated, (I live in centennial, seller in Loveland), does that mean spf, or does it go to the next guy in line? or does it have some hold on something? Would any of you notify if there was another offer? I had someone beat by 2 hours, while I was trying to set up a meeting time, the seller sold from under me. Im pissed, went to the bank, got funds out, etc. How do you deal with a zero feedback seller with this? Im stumped.

I am the first PM and the first post on the thread.

Am I wrong? Square me away if I am.

I mean, isnt it implied if I am willing to drive that far?? Grrr.

Based on what you said, no...it doesn't sound like you were serious.

If you said "I'll take it. Lets figure out a time to meet up." that's completely different.

If I was the seller, I wouldn't turn someone offering to buy it right away because someone wants to "look at it".

Guess I should have been a little more clear.

I had that exact same situation with me as the seller. I had a member, I think it was legaleagle, send me a PM stating that he was interested and wanted to look at whatever it was. Before I saw that and set up a time, another member sent the "I'll take it" message. I sold to that member and legaleagle got pissy about it. Now- if I had sent him a message back and actually arranged a time for him to come over- I would have given him 1st shot. My opinion- "I'm interested and want to see it" takes 2nd place to "I'll take it", unless a meet has been arranged by me and the interested member.

yup, first sold, or I'll take it wins...

Lookers get runner up position...

I've had "lookers" who did not commit to buy, not end up purchasing..

Never had anyone say I'll take it and back out...

After we talked I noticed the title went SPF, I guess I kinda assumed that was mine. There werent any other posts... Once we talked we did set up a time and a place, I confirmed I would take it. He said that he got confused on who was who and didnt want to piss anyone off or do the wrong thing. I am kinda having a minor temper tantrum. He did have the courtesy to call me and apologize for the mix up. I am not a fan of leaving bad feedback, just needed to vent. From my end all the PMs made sense, and was looking forward to this purchase. I have had a rough week and its my Bday next week. Rant over.
