Moral question

if experience tells me anything.... something even better will come along for you.

Without mentioning a price, let the seller know, that if the buyer decides to pass on the deal, that you're interested in buying the bike.
That way, he knows that he doesn't have to accept less than his asking price, and it still leaves it up to the potential buyer whether the deal gets consummated or not.
Usually, the seller lets the original buyer know, that he's got other interested prospects, and the og buyer ponies up, and the deal goes through.
Sometimes you get the call.
If you get the call, then I feel like you're obligated to follow through, and purchase the item though.

Not related to bikes but...I collect guitars and of course space for storage is always a premium. I mentioned this to a bunch of my music friends and one of them offered a guitar stand for 5 guitars. NICE, I thanked him and said I would take it. Right away one of the other guys said how about giving it to Carl (his son)! I couldn't believe he did that! He concerns himself with himself.... I would rather have a good reputation

This why a price is always needed on this board. For some reason "OBO" = an offer lower than asking after the item has sat around a bit.

As far as background offers and such, shady and unscrupulous. Also a reason why comments should not be allowed on the classifieds section.

The best thing about this hobby is the people in it!
The worst part of this hobby are some people in it!

He did put an "OBO" in the price.... doesn't mean you can't offer more right? I can't do it though, because I've been on the other side of the coin too many times

Haha. Never looked at obo like that before. But ya I feel you on the other part. Deals a deal, gotta be faster next time I guess
