Sold OS .21 XM Outboard $250

[Rodney Rogers]

then what good are the rules !

 

[Rodney Rogers]

Can anyone read the rules ???????? they do not say I will take it will let anyone run over a deal that is pending !

 

[Wasted wages]

If there is any legitimate offers or deals pending between a potential buyer and seller....


You did not have a legitimate offer....
You made requests for shipping information.

Remember... it takes the three magic words at the time of the question to take the sale off the table.
Everyone here seems to understand that rule and accept it. Except you.

It's not that hard to understand.
I'll take it, let's all others know your serious.

Rule 5 applies in its entirety, you can't just pull out bits and pieces and apply it to your narrative, just because you didn't follow it. The rule also states that saying " I'll take it pending a question" locks the deal in until the question is answered.
This is where you failed.

If I were a mod, this thread would have been over long ago....

any other interested individuals need to allow a reasonable time for a response to said deal/offer (at least 12 hours) you cant leave this part out to make it ok`

Yeah but people ask all these same questions all the time then never follow through . That's why everyone sticks to the Ill take it being the final call on who gets it. If not there will be 5 tire kickers acting interested and no one ever says ill take it or will say decided to pass. Its just how this site works. I would say its Mikes being he said ill take it. I was almost going to say it just before him and grab it up . anyone could have . he just got there first with the I take it.

Hi guys,

I am sorry this has turned out to be a S show. I have read over the posts, as well as other peoples interpretations of them. I have also tried to reconcile these with the forum rules.

When Rodney first asked for a shipping quote, my assumption was that he had no issue with the asking price. I think this could be seconded by the immediate following post, which stated that the party would be interested if Rodney passes.

That being said, there are some nuances that Don and Grimm have pointed out that seem to carry water.

In order to preserve the peace in this forum, I am going to agree with Grimm to cancel the sale. This is the only way that I can see to make sure that no party seems harmed in the deal.

I will be listing an estate complete with Boats and Engines, and I feel the easiest way to avoid this situation in the future, is to guesstimate shipping on the safe side, and offer everything at a shipped value. If somebody wants to offer less, that will be considered, however, any full price offer will secure a sale for future items.

Does this seem fair?

 

[David Krienke]

Just always talk on the main thread and not pm deals and the first I take it gets it and you will be fine. They can talk in pm about shipping per the rules after they say I will take it all you want after that as well.

I see people ask for shipping costs all the time. Not only here but On other Forums as well. And more often than not they pass on the deal. To me that Is never an Indication of a done deal. The I will take It, rules the day. IMO

Saying "I'll take it pending" seems fair and follows the rules of this forum.

And all it does is delays someone who really wants the item and is ready to go with PayPal on standby....

 

[Grimracer]

That is a shame.. I was looking forward to the motor. Played the game fair and square...

In the end my "I WILL TAKE IT" stands if you change your mind

Cheers

Grim

Does this see do what you think is right I'm ok thanks have a great day.

 

[Wasted wages]

I think Don should have the final decision.

 

[David Krienke]

Don Said mike gets it. Shame to not let him have it . He did it right and shouldn't be punished for it.

 

[FloridaScaleBoater]

thats not what the rules say !!

Dude!!!
You just don't get it, do you?
You realized you had screwed up, went back, edited your post and now your trying to justify your mistake.
Plain and simple! The magic words are "I WILL TAKE IT"
not, are you going to Atlanta, what would shipping be or any other phrases.
I will take it....period
Man up! Tell Mike(Grim) it's all yours my friend and catch the next deal that comes along.
