Why Sellers Forget To Update Ads, Sold/ Pending

Yeah, remember the Counterpoint SA-5000 that was listed for $600 obo. I emailed saying I would send a bank check the next day. I never even got an answer after several emails. Now you think the guy would have said I have an offer you can offer more if you want the unit since it was best offer??? Well I emailed Agon and I finally got a response that the unit was sold about 3 days later from the person, but the ad was not updated until about 5 days later. Really pissed me off that I could not make an offer on the unit and I know I was one of the first persons since I responded when there were only 10 views.

Just ventiing with ya!

By the way, the unit I listed is SOLD! LOL

Makes you wonder why the ad is still alive if the item is sold, why not just delete the ad altogether? "Sale Pending" is my pet peeve. If someone commits and tells me that payment is forthcoming I list it as sold... if the sale falls through I spend the $3 and re-list. Sale Pending ads screams I DON'T TRUST THE BUYER TO LIVE UP TO HIS END OF THE DEAL AND I'M CHEAP. I feel better now.

Its in the subject of your post (Sellers forget). At least I do. Guilty as charged.
