Question for other members and moderators.
As a seller in the marketplace, I just wanted to make sure that I have the privilege to move on at my will for any potential buyer. I think it's fair to move on to the next potential buyer if the person before them tries to delay the transaction.
I understand schedules but if there are several people interested in something I'm selling, is it out of line for me to move on after one delay? Last edited by fecalguns; 06-04-2020 at 2:42 PM.. |

The first buyer has delayed the time to purchase the item and asked to delay that time a few hours THE FIRST TIME. That alone I have no issue with, but then they asked for another opportunity to schedule after the weekend for Monday. I think it's fair to give another person the opportunity to buy the item over the weekend instead of wasting it for the first buyer when he has cancelled the first time.

One delay happens, after that, the flake factor may be in effect or maybe poop occurred. You could tell him to Paypal you a hefty non-refundable deposit if you want to let him have one last chance. Give him the opportunity to meet earlier at your convenience if you want to be nice. Otherwise, just tell him no and say it is back up for sale to the next "I'll take it".

To be fair, despite the freeways being fairly clear, there’s still a lot of mierda going on. Curfews, protests, riots and looting and what have you.... Not exactly easy or reassuring to get around. People have families and such...stuff to get done maybe.

Makes sense however in my mind, if they have many priorities that cause them to either schedule way far out or cancel multiple times, perhaps they're not ready to purchase the item which leaves me to move on?

I think with reasonable communication, either party has the right to decline the transaction before it takes place.
Backing out to take a higher bid is frowned upon if a deal was already struck though.

Just to be clear, I never mentioned anything about a higher bid. In fact I ignore those who make such an offer through a PM. I will always stick to my original asking price OR best offer that is LESS than the original asking price. If I truly think the value is more, then it will simply be listed as such in the first place.

First off if you never agreed to a date and time the deal isn't finalized so there's that.
Second, if you've agreed to make a sale and made a good faith effort to see it through and can not due to factors outside your control then move on to the next person. Just because someone said 'Ill take it' doesn't mean you're locked in to selling to that person if the logistics don't work out. This doesn't mean buyers and sellers can bail on deals willy-nilly, as i mentioned there has to be a good faith effort to close the deal but life isn't always convenient and clean.

Does your question include cancelling an agreement after you've receive a better offer?

No. It has to do with keeping their commitment to the time and date we agreed to. I don't want two weeks going by because the first buyer keeps moving the date for example. I understand schedule changes occur, but I also understand IMO that I am free to move on to another person in a timely manner if the previous person can't make a commitment within a reasonable timely manner themselves.

That crosses my mind in general, but not at the moment for the first buyer. The reason for this thread is because I have a lot of replies and pm's expressing interest and I want to be fair for everyone within a reasonable time frame. I simply don't know what is COURTEOUS as far as how many times I would allow for a potential buyer to keep moving the date back further and further for example.

Is it ok to put something (in a marketplace listing) to the effect that it's just like an item in a store, that the 1st person that can meet at the sellers convenience, is the one that gets it?

FYI, The first party came through and it turned out to be a really good transaction. There ended up being around 15 interested in the item. LOL.
