Hi hub
I saw the photo and was willing to buy, i was ready to go look at it that day but he said (because he lived 3-4 hrs away) that he will be comming down on the weekend and would bring the bike down. We organised the time, i was happy to pay a deposit, i had the money, but he said don't you want to look at bike first, so we agreed on a time. I was free to look at it anytime but was working around what he wanted.
I had the money, was ready to buy, if he got down early why didn't he say. I have sold a few bikes before and if someone rang up and said they wanted to buy, and another rang i have always given the person i organised with the opportunity.
I believe in fairness and doing the right thing by others, you can tell usually how genuine someone is and how keen they are to buy. At least give them the opportunity and tell them someone else wants to buy, and say do you still want it?
I was ready to go, had the money, all i did was stick to what he wanted and his arrangements.
There will always be other bikes to me its just the principal. It was not like yeh i'm interested i just got to see if i have the money, i might come around sunday and see what it was like!!!!!!!!!
to me it was a done deal, all that was to be done was as you said, to inspect bikes condition.
anyhow i'll get over it
I don't believe in survival of ther fittest, or dog eat dog.
i believe in fairness and respect to others
In this world that doesn't always work, but firmly believe you reap what you sow!
