Am I being fair?

Recently I posted a add on Audiogon for a VAC amplifier, in the add I stated "preference given to local buyer", the amp is heavy and it's stressful sending gear across the US, even when it's insured. What happened, the first day of posting the add, I had many reposes, and a local gentleman was #10 of the people who were interested in the amp, he stopped by my house and bought it right away. When I informed some of the other e-mailers to the add, the amp was sold, some were upset, saying I should sell to the first person who contacted me. I never made any commitments to selling the amp to any of the e-mailers. Couple of the people are threatening to give me a negative feedback. Should we sell to the first person who responds to the add? Just wanted a opinion from other member if they have come across this situation also, thanks.

your fine, you excepted no offer, you stuck to what your posting said - prefer local- and sold to the first real offer with cash

doesn't get any better than that

it is the people writing you that have the problem

have a good day and don't sweat it

Not a problem on your end (I read the ad which was crystal clear).

Hope the "children" involved do leave (-) feedback (which can be removed) so that I may make note and stear clear of them on future transactions (they would seem to be both petty and clueless and you are fortunate not to have done business with them, IMO).

Count your blessings.

Don't worry about it. What ever you did that some people might consider unfair (probably self-servingly) is NOTHING compared to what goes on every day in the "Wild Wild West" of the internet...
