Question on ettiquette of buying/selling here

[Stevebob]

I saw a particular Gun posted I've been looking for a while(Monday)

Messaged the guy selling it, told him I would take it, cash in hand, ready to meet

He said the first time he was available would be this afternoon(Wednesday), that worked with my schedule so we agreed to meet up then.

Messaged him last night(Tuesday), he didn't respond

He messaged me this morning(Wednesday), saying "he meant to get back to me quicker, but another guy who was closer outbid me"

Has this been happening often? I've done a fair amount of buying/selling/trading here over the past few years and this is the first time I've seen this happen.

All noobs. We here don’t play that we try to quell the bidding. Report it if you show in pm’s the deal

I was told this place isn’t an auction and bidding doesn’t happen here. That’s what I was told and that’s what I’m sticking to.

Unfortunately some folks are doing auctions in PMs where they take a higher “bid”. It’s one thing to sell to someone simply because it’s more convenient in term of time or distance. But some folks do this but most are smart enough not to flaunt it and tell you you were outbid.

Once I make a deal i honor it even if someone offers more, but I'm old school.

My word is my bond.

Oh boy. Sorry to hear but that's about the norm now.

Did you get a settled on time/date to meet via PM? If so, neg him.

Trouble is, "honor" means nothing to some here.

That's how I've always been
