If I were to contact a seller and told that person I wanted their item at their listed cost plus shipping, they may or may not choose to sell to me. As a seller you want to weigh all your options if you are lucky enough to have them. Just because I was the first to say I wanted the item doesn't necessary mean I will get it. The last amplifier I bought I was second in line. I got the unit because I was a registered member here at audiogon. The other person beat me to it by about 8 hours, but was not registered here, I got lucky.
Is this the normal way business is handled?
Maybe someone has asked this before but being somewhat new I haven't seen this issue addressed.
I was looking into buying a pair of speakers from another member (who lives 2000 miles away) While I was asking the seller the usual questions, I'm sure other people were too.
Well I decided to buy the speakers and told the seller so. I was willing to pay the asked price along with all shipping costs. He stated that a local (to him)person was interested (but had not comitted to buy), and he would rather sell them to them to avoid shipping. I feel my offer to purchase was just used as leverage to make the other person to make a quicker decision.
Since I made the first offer isn't the seller obligated to sell them to me?
