INGO has a FAQ...wait...
He was respectful. No sale is final until the transaction. Wal-Mart can't stop you from shopping if you have a coupon for an item at another store and at check out decide not to buy at Wal-Marts higher cost...but they do price match.
that doesn't mean that the person has to move forward with the purchase just because they agreed on a price at any particular time, it's not a contractual agreement. In the future the OP can chose not to business with the person

I don't care whether it's a mod or not, but if I make an agreement, an actual agreement where it is explicitly stated that I will buy or sell at an agreed price or trade, and I have arranged to meet, I stand by my word and won't back off just because a better deal came along or because it became inconvenient.
That's the way I roll, to borrow an overused phrase. I prefer to be the kind of person who stands behind his word.
I understand other people don't operate that way. There's several people here I won't do any business with at all because their ethics are different than mine in that regard, including among them some site advertisers.
If you have offer and acceptance, you have a deal. If you break that deal, that reflects poorly on your integrity.
If I have an agreement with someone on a deal, and I markit SPF, I'm passing up other opportunities based on that person's word.
Turn the deal around: What if the OP told the guy "hey, I found a better trade/ someone offered more money, deal's off"
Mod or not, welching on an agreed upon deal is bad form. That's not a higher standard. That's simply what I would expect from anyone. You make a deal, you follow through with it.
And that would come to your definiton of a deal. Deal to me is when I exchange said item for other said item. If you are selling an item at a cost and someone offers you a better one it is your fault you accepted the first response you did.
If you have offer and acceptance, you have a deal. If you break that deal, that reflects poorly on your integrity.
That's also the law's definition. "Offer and acceptance" are legally sufficient to form a contract.
But, your cavalier attitude toward welching on deals/breaching contract is duly noted.
Capitalism is founded on contract law.
I just wanted to know if I was blowingthis out of proportion.
I guess the whole thing that made me unhappy was that HE contacted ME. I was selling and he contacted me.
You're not on a contract until money is exchanged.
I guess the whole thing that made me unhappy was that HE contacted ME. I was selling and he contacted me.
And if you believe that buy at a higher price than others. I will save my money and choose what I buy and at what cost. Some people need thicker skins. If you get upset because somebody backed out of a "deal" even though nothing was exchanged you have other issues. Not saying thats what the OP is saying. Most transactions on here are pending meet. I will not say for sure I will buy something when I have not checked it out in person.
If I say I'm going to buy something/sell something and I have an agreement with someone, I stand by my word. I would expect the same level of integrity from anyone.
That's basic contract law, and that's what used to be considered a fundamental quality of being a stand-up person with integrity.
