Getting a lot of interest. Are you good at $1750? I’d like a no fee method if possible, or net to me at 1750. Let me know quickly.

I responded done. Send me payment information.

This morning I get you took to long to respond so I sold to someone else.

Am I wrong or dose I will take it mean just that?
When I get an I'll take it I just send my payment information. I have never had anyone say I will take it and back out. But maybe BST is changing.

I have twice and realistically there is nothing that can be done about it. I just moved on and now refuse to deal with them. So not new just not brought up much for a few reasons.

We just did a very long thread on this very topic. Lots of viewpoints there.

And here is the post in question to the extent the language matters.

Thank you, sir. The right thing to do, IMO.

I have never had anything like that happen to me in the B/S/T. I sympathize with the OP; that would be awful.

If they were still going back and forth on price, it's hard to see an obligation to wait with an offer in hand. But here the seller clearly could have waited a reasonable time for the OP to confirm payment method, especially where the OP had asked for payment method. Breach of contract, no, not technically IMO, but breach of etiquette, for sure.

EDIT TO ADD In light of Leon's post, clarifying that this assessment is based on taking the OP at his word as to what happened.

I am getting a different story from the other party, so let's see how this plays out. I was hasty in my judgment even if it turns out the same. I always need to get two sides to the story, because we all know there are 3 sides! I don't think price was the issue, I think it was timing..
More to follow....

I find it odd that the seller would, after receiving an "I'll take it" message, respond with "Are you good with my asking price?"

Depending on what was done or not done via DM the board posts show as should have been sold at 6:51 pm.

The first response was sent at 9:35 am so I'm guessing not sold before the second post, and the sold didn't officially come in until 8:04 pm. So what happened in the 73 minute span?
