Also simply stating things like "I'm interested" or "I have a question" does not constitute an offer!!

I AM WATING ON THE SELLER THEIR IS NOTHING I CAN DO YET !

 

[Rodney Rogers]

I SAID IM WATING ON SHIPPING CHARGES SO I CAN PAY ! what do i need to say !

 

[Rodney Rogers]

i even ask if he was going to the Spring Nationals in Atlanta ? so he would not need to ship !!!

 

[Wasted wages]

"I'll take it pending a question" is the phrase you are looking for.

"I'll take it" trumps all open ended inquires.

Rules are rules.

"I'll take it."... embrace it.

It lets the seller and everyone else know the deal is done.... now if things don't work out in the sale, it can always be reposted by the seller.

 

[Rodney Rogers]

i do want it or i would not wanted him to bring it to the Spring Nationals in Atlanta ? thats not hard to understand !

They just followed and applied the rules as written.

 

[Rodney Rogers]

[David Krienke]

We have all seen this happen on here many times The I take it trumps all other questions. It should have been said I will take it How much will shipping be or I will take it and Pick it up at the race.

legitimate offers or deals pending between a potential buyer and seller any other interested individuals need to allow a reasonable time for a response to said deal/offer (at least 12 hours)

 

[Rodney Rogers]

it does not say i have got to say i will take it for it to be a deal !

Rodney,
There are two requirements in rule 5 and you failed to achieve either. There was no legitimate offer pending; you asked questions; however, never once indicated you were going to buy the engine before Mike wrote "I WILL TAKE IT".


#5- If there is any legitimate offers or deals pending between a potential buyer and seller any other interested individuals need to allow a reasonable time for a response to said deal/offer (at least 12 hours). Also simply stating things like "I'm interested" or "I have a question" does not constitute an offer!! If you are seriously interested in buying say something like "I'll take it pending answer to question". Also keep in mind these are offers or deals within the scope of original for sale post. In other words if the seller makes no mention of taking trades don't simply offer a trade and expect that person to just hold it for you over a cash offer without you at the very least saying something like "I'd like first dibs regardless" if again it's something you really want. We all have seen stuff listed for sale that ultimately a trade was done instead as it was a good deal for both. It is acceptable to post something like I will take if he/she passes, etc. as that establishes a sort of waiting list if the offer or counter offers are not accepted. There has been a sharp increase in complaints and occurrences lately that has necessitated adding this rule.

I am not here to make a mess of things.. I was just following the rules.
