USED to be REA's big fan ---not any more

The plot thickens. It doesn't really matter though. As a bystander, there's really only one issue that stands out for me.

I don't care if the buyer was unreasonable or not. For a company to haggle over $300 with someone who spends tens of thousands of dollars with them, over a mistake the company made, is just plain stupid.

And the point the OP is trying to make is that even though he got what he wanted, he shouldn't have had to twist their arm to get it. I agree.

I guarantee this fiasco will cost them way more than $300 in the future, from this buyer alone.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Great post.

Doesn't look like anyone "haggled." REA made an offer. The OP didn't like it. They negotiated and REA gave him EXACTLY WHAT HE ASKED FOR!

Then the OP started, not one, but two different threads, complaining about REA's handling of the situation.

How do you guys ever complete any deal without negotiating?

Yes, the problem should have, and could have, been avoided, but it wasn't. The buyer admits that he made the exact same mistake himself on the flip. I hope the guy he sold to doesn't come on and start a thread ripping him!
