Bummer Vince. It's the seller I blame more in most cases. I had higher offers on some stuff I sold recently but honored the deal I made with the first person I agreed to a price with. But in your case if someone knew you had a deal made and snaked you that's a different story altogether.

To be honest I dont think they knew it was me but offered $100 more and seller didnt have the courtesy to at least ask me if I would match the new offer.

Oh, so you were the one I beat out? Sorry man.

You should have stopped in.At least buy me dinner and a movie if you want to screw me.

 

[PCHiggin]

Yeah,We have one of those guys here. He's a one way street,None of us will deal with him anymore.

 

[Springer Tom]

ONE of those guys?

 

[PCHiggin]

Actually 2 guys like that.They DONT HONOR DEALS THEY'VE MADE. I've posted this before but here goes anyway. I drove to one guys house to pick up a bike and another guy was taking it apart? Seller says "He offered me more money just for these parts" He could have at least called me back and said no deal,wasted my time. He then calls later and tells me the other guy backed out and I can have it. I find out he tried jacking up the price to the other guy and he backed out.I told him the same thing but was very impolite.No use for him.

I have zero tolerance for these folks. Please feel free to PM with names so I can add them to my POS list. V/r Shawn

Youd be better off slammin your dick in the door than to deal with people from craigslist. I also never go to them to pick up a bike. They come to me and I pay them to deliver the bike. It has worked out for me, its gives them a goal to acheive. They quickly jump in their truck and bring me the bike. They have no time to answer calls and 9 times out of ten they dont have a cell phone and only a land line and your odds are better if they deliver. They dont have the chance to get side dealed.

 

[Dan the bike man]

There's a guy named Bill in SE MI that everyone knows who calls anyone selling a vintage Schwinn and says I'll give you more than your price, or at least your price. Then he shows up and says "oh! I couldn't see that's wrong with it, I can only give you __ amount now." Meanwhile people turn away other buyers. I didn't hold bikes for him. If it was still for sale the next day fine, if not oh well. I only have one bike left to sell, it's a Columbia so he doesn't bother me
