Sold Sold Sold

If the seller explicitly agreed to hold it a week, then to do otherwise is lying - I’d have to agree with the buyer. I hold honesty and integrity in the highest regard.

If the buyer wanted to inconvenience the seller to wait a week "for free" thinking that he has earned some goodwill so deserves this special period, then I agree with the seller.

For the seller, it’s better to have cash now to move onto other things, than to wait later with the increased risk of non-performance.

@richardbrand you are conflating all these issues, like SMTP and SSL, all major email providers encrypt the messages, meaning no one else can decrypt it and read it during the transportation of the packages.

If it wasn't the case all hackers would be billionaires but at least multi-millionaires.4

Email is usually sent over the internet in plain text

No it is not. It is encrypted. If it was sent in plain text, you would have 99 out of a 100 politicians blown into a zillion pieces by scandals. 

@dekay ...Spaced Forced Puters have to be approached with care and tongs....

...btw, Don't push that plate next to what appears to be a sort of cube CPU.

Yeah, that one, the Teleport Discriminator....pushing it triggers a 'random surface site clear' transport if the 'cpu' is about to implode...

You'll be OK, a random safe distance and Not in a wall....where you Were, however....

Hope you have your wallet... 

Ever try selling something of Facebook Marketplace?  For every one legit buyers there are 10 ghosts. That's business in 2025 on the internet.  Not the same as a handshake in 1960.

The OP is a nutball for thinking the seller had any obligation to hold this unit based on the above conversation.  Why didn't he buy the unit before he left town? Just ridiculous! 

Time to put the thread to bed.

As often happens with these whiner woe is me threads the other side of the story comes out and all that was accomplished is the Op losing whatever prior perceived credibility he/she may have had.
