With all do respect to everyone
But this is totally an off thing to do. It refelect's the seller's personality and attitude clearly. He should've said so that the item not around or give a valid reason. People may hang to hope sometimes. To me it's totally wrong what happened, but what can you do my friend life goes on and it was a lesson to be learnt.

Well, the highest bidder wins i guess... money is truely evil...
Plus this kind of sale are not bounded to time limit, it all based on the seller.
Cheer up man
hehe... money is amoral... it is the love of money that trips people up :bsmilie:
Hmmm .. food for thought ....
a. since buyer agree to buy without examining the condition of goods, then buyer will have to buy no matter what
b. if buyer dont show up, then buyer should send "cancellation" fee to seller
How ? Makes sense ?

i don think its anything wrong, at least he never agreed to meet u and then last min tell you he dont wanna meet anymore.
Well think of it this say, lets say someone is selling an item for $2000. U bargained until $1000 and he agreed. But the meeting date is set to a few days later. However in the same day, someone came along and offered him the $2000 that he originally wanted.
So if you are the seller, would u sell at $1000 to the 1st buyer? Or sell at $2000 to 2nd buyer?
I would definitely sell to 2nd buyer.

Imagine this :
You are selling of your handphone to one of the 2nd hand dealers. You went to the first shop and it offers you a price that you think is fair and you wanted to sell to him. However, another store near by saw what you are doing and offer $50 more before you hand over your phone to the first guy. What will your respond be?:think:

Hmm, this is very common. For even a few dollars, I'm amazed that some one can sell their integrity and don't keep their promise - as long as they think they can get away without any dire consequences.
if both party already agreed on the price both should honor the agreement, regardless buyer or seller. The fact that so many replies above states there's nothing wrong pretty much tells u how many such ppl there are. Just your luck.....too bad.....
i think clubsnap should just adopt an auction system, with BNP.
i'm sure there will be less disputes. everyone happy.
there are so many grey areas here. did the threadstarter offer a below average price? i generally only sell on clubsnap, what all these aeroplane flyers do not understand is that people are not free bums who do nothing but hawk lenses. there have been instances where i had to rearrange schedules just to cater to their specific timing needs, only to be told curtly later on that they have found something else with a cheaper price, sorry. the best part is that i usually sell my items for slightly below market price, so i have my doubts about that being possible.
your shop analogy is not the same. the shop deals with second hand stuff for a living, so their schedule is all about doing that. besides, you went to them, there is no need for arrangement for meeting times and compromising on schedules.
i held an item for someone before, for close to 2 weeks, because he claimed he wasn't free then.
2 weeks later, after all the other buyers had lost interest, he told me that he couldn't come up with the money. it was less than $200 item. :thumbsup::thumbsup:
these days, can't deal with 3 days? go fly a kite. :thumbsup:
I think there is nothing wrong. Unless the potential buyer has paid some deposit, the seller need not wait for the buyer when a better offer comes along. There is NO LOSS to the potential buyer so no need to complain.
As a seller myself, I have been played out many times by buyers who wasted my time, sounded like very keen, tested the item then disappeared.

IMHO, if u get a better deal and more money , sure why not ?
BUT I hope that the seller at least had the courtesy to tell the first potential buyer that the deal is aborted and not to waste time and expense travelling to meeting place (THIS IS THE LOSS THAT THE AEROPLAN'ED BUYER SUFFERS)
Do not happy happy at selling a better price to higher bid and forget about (and fly aeroplane) the original prospective buyer

hehe... in the first place, i would not let the person bargain to $1000 and agree on that price... and if i did agree on $1000, i would sell it at $1000 because I've given my word
My own take on this is "Your word is your bond". If I were to agree to something, I would honour it, else I wouldn't agree to it in the first instance.
If its important to you that people take you at face value, your words should carry gravity and in order to establish that, you have to build a track record of meaning what you say and saying what you mean. Anything else smacks of ..... well, you know what I mean.

Common sense lah. What would you do if you are in his shoes?
Perhaps if u had made a reasonable offer + ur free service to pick it up from him, none of this would have happened?
Lowballers are NOT very welcomed in CS.
