If he sent a PM a couple of minutes later, as stated, then the seller is being a jackass not letting this go. I'd take the negative rating if it's an inevitability but whatever, buy the one you want. /end

I did write a follow-up. Right after I sent the message saying I would take it, literally a minute later I wrote the follow-up explaining what happened.

i have no idea why the seller is being a hard ass, you made an honest mistake, everybody does, its not as if the seller lost other opportunity within that few minutes.

having said that, should the seller insist then you should suffer the neg feedback and move on , chalk it up to learning process, watch who you reply to next time.
 
dude, just buy the pistol you want from the guy you want it from. if the other guy doesn't understand, that's his problem. tell him to get ####ed.

you made an honest mistake. just because seller number two got his panties in a bunch that he was gonna make some money, and now he isn't, doesn't mean you owe him anything. sometimes life just isn't fair. you gave him an honest explanation for an honest mistake. if he wants to give you a negative rating, your life won't end. there's more to life than CGN.

Just don't make a habit out of it.
 
Don't let the guy 'blackmail' you into doing something you don't want. If it were me I'd understand. If he leaves ya a negative rating, so be it. You're already getting a taste of how unreasonable he is. This would make me wonder what he'd be like if the G21 he sold you didn't live up to his promises or your expectations.....

I wish Claybuster would attack the seller as much as he felt the need to question my integrity. The wonderful thing about the internet is people hide behind the anonymous nature of the internet.
I deleted my first message because I didn’t not want to get into a war with a CGN'r who has over 3000 post to their credit - I don’t have that much time on my hand. I shoot too much.

Just to make Claybuster happy - I must people a horrible person to deal with (check my trader rating )
Cheers.
PS apparently pot shots are fun, I see why Claybuster enjoys them.

Yes I am critical of anyone who thinks "buyer's remorse" is more important than the integrity of his word when he says "I'll take it."

Your position is clear. You believe a purchaser is "entitled" to back out of a deal citing "buyer's remorse" and when he does it's the "seller's problem." Now for future reference anyone doing business with you knows your position and will decide whether to take that risk. On the two occasions you made a purchase that didn't happen and you got good ratings.

As for the seller if the facts are as presented he is being a bit of a jerk and doing something I wouldn't do. I'd probably let the guy out of the deal. But if I were the buyer and made the same mistake I'd accept the consequences of my actions and either buy the pistol or take the negative rating.
 
Hopefully he comes around and let's you off the hook for an honest mistake, whenever I am bidding on something that I have to save up for I will double or triple check everything before I hit that ultimate "SEND" key.:eek:
 
If I were the seller, I would automatically assume that the reason you no longer want my gun (after an offer was made) is because someone came along with your first choice. This impression might be incorrect so you have to decide if getting a negative feedback is less important than getting your first choice.

Life is not always fair, even if you tell the truth, and if it were me, I would buy both and sell my second choice. The worse that can happen is that you might lose a few dollars and who knows, you might even make a profit.

The seller should be fully understanding, I have also had people back out of deals, and I would never consider leaving negative feed back. As one put it, life is to short for this kind of peddiness.
 
I've been 'strung along' for a few months on a deal. In the end I told the guy to look elsewhere, relisted and sold the gun. No negative feedback left, no threats muttered or written. I wasn't impressed but that's life. Get over it and get on with it......:runaway:

+1 , sounds like the guy is using pressure sales tactics, perhaps the seller would prefer you buy it then slag him because its a POS (in your eyes)???
Buy the gun you want , I wouldn't worry about the fall out.

I've found all the CGN'rs that I have dealt with to be the proverbial "salt of the earth", IF this was an honest mistake - I, as the seller would have no problem letting this go.

IF this is a case of buyers remorse, and you got a better deal and decided to change your mind - off with your head.

Let your conscience decide.
 
buy the one you want, we know your situation and if we see a negative rating, we know who not to buy from. He is, after all, disobeying the first rule of being a man: don't be a ####!
 
Give the annoying seller a negative feedback, and buy the one you want from the other seller.

If annoying seller tries to get in a flame war with you, well, this is the internet, so flame on. THen create a new account here on CGN when the dust has settled.
 
I dont think its a big deal.If I posted a negative feedback for all the times I had buyers back out of a deal there would be at least ten board members with negative hits in there rating.On the other hand what pisses me off is when your told the funds are on the way only to find out a week later that they change there mind and youve been strung along.:mad:.
 
According to Feedback Guidelines:

Use Neutral Feedback for:
  • buyer backing out of a verbal deal agreement that was reached via PM or email. (We can understand when there are circumstances, such as financial emergency, that one might have to back out of a deal, But this doesn't mean we like frequent tire kickers).
  • NOTE: Frequent tire kickers DESERVE Negative feedbacks
If the seller is totally unreasonable, the worst he/she should give is a Neutral rating.

Now for a reality check here people:

I can see if someone willingly says "I'll take it" and then changes their mind that this should rightly piss people off.

But when someone innocently misdirects an email to the wrong person and accidentally say "I'll take it" to the wrong person.......... Sheesh people, give a guy a break!
