Wondering what is the general opinion on buying and selling etiquette on clubsnap. I was led to think about this due to a thread in buy & sell in which the two parties disagreed and ended up not so happy with each other.
Some of my questions include
1) If a transaction has completed at a certain price, but then, some external factor, such as a price drop of the same item elsewhere comes about, how fair is it to re-negotiate that price?
2) How strong is the "reserved" commitment on the buyer and the seller? If the seller gets a higher price elsewhere, can he sell it even if the item is reserved? If the buyer changes his mind, can he decide not to buy a reserved item?
3) If you make an offer based on some lack of information are you entitled to change your mind before the deal is done, if new information comes to light?
My recent example was that I made an offer for an item which ended up being too high, the seller replied, asking when I would like to see it (when and where). Then I happened to see the same item for sale for less, and I told my seller that I wished to change my offer. What do people think, was that wrong?
