Thank you for kind indulgence, Mr Moderator
I contact the seller Sunday before lunch to make arrangements to inspect the item. I am familiar with CJ so i say, no need to audition. I attempt to negotiate the price so we can firm this up before we both make the effort to meet up. Before seller responds with a negotiated price, he then quickly tells me that a prior deal was sealed at the asking price. Thus, there SEEMS to be an implication that the price is firm to me. Seller says he's facing a dilemma on how to proceed due to his prior commitment and he needs to consult. i inform mrquery that I have no interest in conducting business with him.
As it turns out, CTLim and mrquery had ongoing negotiations prior to posting the item for sale. One party says the deal was consummated, the other says item is still available as of Sunday noon. One party kindly requests that I stand aside and let him acquire the item since he had made the deal prior and was at a loss as to why seller posted it anyway. I tell him, regardless of my standing as first in line, there are others in the queue so he would not be able to readily acquire the item anyway. WS RULES APPLY. How difficult is that?
Before mrquery and I settle the matter, CTLim calls me to inform me of the status of their prior deal.
This evening CTLim calls me to air his side and bottom line is - they had a misunderstanding and it seems to still be unresolved.
These are my best efforts to recount the transaction as best as I can with little as possible speculation and conjecture. I have a few more comments but that extends beyond objectivity.
mrquery, CTlim did not cause you to lose your sale - you did. It would not have been difficult for me to acquire this but you chose to hesitate. Take this constructively.
CTLim please avoid continued attempts to circumvent forum rules. You know what I'm talking about. Take this constructively.
I, as well, am open to constructive criticism If i did nto handle this post responsibly. I am NOT trying to sow intrigue but am merely giving feedback on a transaction that did not suit me.
