Seller with no Principle and Ethic

[shelomoh]

It happens. You may not feel good about it but it happens and what can you do about it? It too happened to me but I just blacklist the seller in my phone and move on. I never bargain so it is not like I ask for the seller to sell lower but yet the seller can still find someone who will buy higher and worse still, all the excuses are the same even if it is from different people. Sorry, I decided to sell to my cousin or friend. In life, you win some, you lose some. There will be other deals in the future. So just move on...

To sell the item off after appointment already set and buyer on his way is too much lah. If it was informed a day before I still can accept, but to have the item sold just before appointment and without informing is low.

Don't take it personally.. Yes you have a right to be pissed (and i would to) but i suppose its just business.. $100 more why not . . . and he did not sell his "soul or ethics" for goodness sake. . .

Experienced this before. I guess it's only human that the seller would go for the highest bid.. some people even do the 'first come first served' rule. Don't be too bothered about people like these.. you'll be a lot happier.

Actually I see nothing wrong with first come first serve. I do it almost all the time with fixed priced sales. I have enough of people reserving for a week or more and disappear when the time comes.

If you want the item, you have to act fast. If unable to act fast and someone else bought it, it is not meant to be.

I see nothing wrong with this system as well. it's a good system. Saves time and money.

Ya. And no questions about people playing people out for a little more money.

You are nice to do that for him. I once reserved a lens for a buyer only to be cancelled after 3 days. Missed out a lot of opportunities to deal because of that. From then on, no more reservations.

Yeah, I did that (reserved my cam) to a CS bro just before CNY this year -said he will come back to me after CNY to make good his deal. Messages me a few times in between to ensure the camera was still available, too. 3 weeks after the initial contact, messaged me to say he got a better deal, etc, etc... Nothing I can do, just re-list the camera for sale again...yup, I still reserve but its limited to max 3 days now, any longer - sorry Bro.

 

[Cowseye]

A quick update, that guy that I've been reserving for had been texting me daily up until 2 days ago. Last night, I smsed him once to confirm the deal time today. Up until right now, he has not get back to me. Been calling him a few times since morning till noon and he did not picked up. I dunno what's gonna be like but if he does not deal with me tonight, I'll reveal his contact no. and email for future references.

It is better not to do reserve.

People forget about you and move on with their lives. But you continue to rage. :bsmilie: first come first serve better.

Ya just kenna one just now. Not happy someone else got the item first because they confirm timing first.
