Sold Sold Sold


Has anyone had a scenario like this ? Was talking to love4audio about buying a Auralic streamer. Told him I'd be out of the country for a week and would buy when I got back. Well as soon as I reached the states I emailed him to get it done. No response, I emailed 3 times with no answer.  Upon looking at the ad it now says Sold. I believe this is wrong on so many  levels and I will never buy from this type of seller. What you say ?

Next time, if you really want something and you are going away, you buy it and tell him to ship it when you get back. 

the only part that is wrong "on so many levels" here is you are naming the seller, making it look like they did something wrong. They did not and you shouldn't.

I am in complete agreement with others here. Until money changes hands, it's still for sale. I don't think this thread went the way you anticipated.

I was on the other end of a similar situation. A local dealer in used equipment had just received a vintage amp and preamp that I wanted. His tech had not checked it yet. When I asked about it he said another customer was interested, but wanted a home trial and had to be sure his wife liked it.

I told him I wanted to buy it. When he asked if I wanted to hear it first, I said "No, as long as it works, I’ll buy it and pay cash." We agreed on the price and shook hands.

I had the equipment a few days later after the tech made sure it was working properly. I handed the seller cash.

You are either a buyer or someone who might buy it
