"I'll Take it" etiquette question

[Ksmash01]

I don't want to threadjack, but this thread applies directly to a blown sale that happened today.

Long story short.....After the shop made a mistake, and after the guy made a fuss, and after the shop and I tried to rectify the situation after we found out we were wrong which included an apology, the sale fell through because he didn't have a valid document that was needed to exempt him from the 10 day waiting period, nor was he willing to simply make the transfer normally and wait the 10 days, in order to close the deal.

I had the money in my pocket, and pending a signature on the DROS form, the sale was complete in my eye. It's not my fault that he didn't have his ducks in a row before coming to the shop. I also feel like any concessions I made within the original deal are void, considering he didn't want to make any concessions to make the deal go through at the time, not to mention waisting MY time/money to travel to make the deal go through. In other words, his lack of organization shouldn't result in my further loss, in my opinion.

I did send him new terms. If he doesn't like them then so be it.

I'll take it should also mean I have what I need to purchase it, and if you don't then the deal you made is off until further negotiations are had to protect the seller from waisting his time.

If you're not certain that you will take it regardless of condition or any other qualifying factor, don't post "I'll take it". That phrase should be reserved for unequivocal purchase.

This...

unless the item is NOT as described or promised. Other than that, THIS!

It's all about the follow through. Saying "I'll Take it" on an online forum should be the same as saying it FTF. Don't post it if you don't mean it.

"I'll Take It" means just that. No try-outs or auditions. You are taking it based on the information given. If you have questions - ask questions.

You meet with the seller to PAY him and process the PPT - not for second looks - unless you ask the seller to see it in person before you agree to buy, or if the seller presents something that is wholly different from posted descriptions and photos - then that is just simple misrepresentation on the seller's part, but it had better be really definitive significance as to why you decide not to buy it if your "I'll Take It" cut others out of the deal. And then that's a different story.

Other than that - I Won't Take it if you post an "I'l Take It" - and don't.
