Well… I was the first to reply… told the seller that I would pick up at 3… he was not back until 12 anyway and said it was fine to pick up at 3. Guess what!? Messaged seller before 3 to let him know that I was on my way to pick up and he replied that he had sold it….

Oh well, guess he was in a hurry….

I can keep looking

Had this happen this past week to me. Told him I would be there within the hour. Ends up telling me after I left work it was gone....

No, that is actually a bad faith seller. The seller accepted the offer, arranged a time, and re-negged on the deal. No fault of @wachuko. Good thing wachuko called first.

Sure leaves a bad taste in your mouth, huh??
And kinda shakes your faith in fellow mankind don't it

Been there, had that happen with a garden tractor GRRRR!!!~
Cost me a whole dam day plus fuel for a 400 mile round trip after "sealing" the deal via phone conversation the night before.

And this was after I got there to pick it up, he was not even there, his daughter showed up after I had waited about 45 minutes for the guy and she informed me he was at a ballgame and had sole the Cub the night before, obviously after I had talked to him on the phone.

I know what I didn't buy today. A lot of 100 slitting saws. Price was sitting at $36. I was set to bid a few dollars and change over that as the clock ran out. Apparently someone bid $104 at 2 seconds to go. Startled me. Not enough time to react. Oh well. Had been watching that auction for a week. In retrospect, they obviously were worth $1.04 each. However, wasn't expecting a $68 jump at the last second. At 3 seconds, the price was $36. I was going to bid at 2 seconds. It was not to be...

holy crap, all those machines???? are you kidding me????

Yes. They were giving them away for scrap iron. Had an ad on Facebook market place. I happened to see it 3 minutes after they posted it and I have heavy equipment to safely move them

I had a similar thing yesterday on a Rockwell sander, seller set a time and place then called me to say he changed his mind and was going to keep it. Sorry, I won't do business with someone like that even if he called back and said I could have it at half price.

People who won't stand by their words I don't have much use for.
