Thread I'm speaking of,
http://www.jcfonline.com/ubbthreads/...c=1#Post553635
Okay, this is the story.
On Sept 16th, I saw the Deluxe strat for sale. I own several guitars, but I've always had a hankerin to buy more Strats. At the time, I had 540$ to blow on something. I didn't want to insult anyone with my offer, so I just posted, that at the moment, I don't have the cash, but would like it.
So, I posted a thread in the classifieds, saying "wtb American Fender Stratocaster." I put my cards on the table (that I've got 540$ to play with.)
Someone posted, about Fritz's Strat (my reply to their comment, can be see in my wtb section thread.) I mentioned, that I didn't have what he was asking. I then PMed him. I told him, that I would like to offer him 540$, and that if he didn't like it, that was fine, I can totally understand.
On 9-20-05, I got the read receipt back, and a reply from him, saying that he wouldn't be able to do that, that he was going to list the guitar on eBay, and if it didn't sell for what he wanted, he would list it on the JCF with a lower price.
I told him, that I would like a link, that I would gladly bid, or pay more for it by payday. I received the read receipt for it, but no reply.
I then checked the classifieds, to check my thread, and I noticed there were 5 replies to the Strat thread of Fritz's. I checked it out.
The guitar went from 599, to 525... Now wait, just 2 days prior, I offered 540$, and even said Iw ould pay more, in a few days.
It had been sold to someone else.
I want to express, there were no concrete contracts, or anything implied that he would sell it to me.
In plain words, why would someone sell something, to someone else, when I had more cash in hand, prior to the date of sale, than the ended up selling it for?
The only message, I can get out of this, is my money is not good enough.
I am told by one of the JCF admins, Tekky, that people will not agree with my way of thinking.
I think this is common sense,
You have something for sale, you get an offer, you turn it down, if you're going to lower the price, wouldn't it make sense, to contact the person who offered MORE than you sold it for? A, it would have been a guaranteed sale, and B, it would have been immediate.
I'm not saying he has an obligation to honor my offer at all. It just seems rather obtuse, to refuse a HIGHER OFFER OF PAY IMMEDIATELY for a lower offer of pay, 2 days down the line.
I understand, it's a capitolist system, and it's his to sell, and set the price on. However, I feel slighted. This is also the feedback section, and I feel it's okay to let people know about these things.
Anyone who has dealt with me, can tell you, I'm a class act. I pack well, I ship fast, and I return all communications in a very speedy manor. Almost all of my transactions have been higher dollar transactions, and I've even done trades on the boards. Yeah, I'm an opinionated prick, but by no means, am I a bad person, a bad Jcfer, or a bad person to deal with.
