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 ?

Fun thread. First cash "in hand" wins the sale. Sometimes with multiple inquiries, I'll let the possible buyer know where they are in a queue. My reasoning is that they are not then under the impression that they are the only one expressing interest.

This past week I saw two CJ pieces (2550, 16LS2) come and go within two days or so. If you really want a thing it pays to be watching and to be ready with cash. Just saying.

It looks like you never actually offered to buy the equipment in your initial correspondence. "I'm on vacation for awhile, I'll see what's happening when I get back." is not an agreement or a commitment to buy anything. And then you blame a clearly honest/competent seller for actually selling it to someone else on a public forum.

I don't think you understand what an agreement is, let alone a "gentlemen's agreement".

Not sure what alternative facts you’re smoking (assuming you’ve actually read the thread).  Just on the basis of the actual email exchanges, the seller comes off as a gentleman, someone who went out of his way to help a potential buyer, even to the point of finding another seller for him.  The OP, on the other hand, was unprofessional and rude in the original convo.  Then, on top of that, the OP comes on this forum and lies about the original exchange, slanders the seller, and tries to hurt his business.  There’s only one possible takeaway here, obviously.
