I agree, I think this just encourages people to say "I'll take it" even if they aren't sure they want it and then ask questions. |

To many Selling Threads gets into mass confusion if the buyer doesn't make a commitment. So it goes this way... "I'll take it" or "I'm interested if..." has priority over a person who says "'I’m interested. Hope this clears things up ... Again our goal is to have happy sellers and buyers and this makes it fair to both sides. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. At least for now. Hope this clears things up ...

Lord have mercy.. we cant put a rule in print for every word stated on the site.. hell half the folks dont even read a guideline.. The staff is explaining that most users on here will say Ill take it.. If someone wants to see pics etc they say Id like to take it pending pics.. etc.. In the end its the sellers choice, as it is folks whom read the threads choice not to buy from them in the future. I dunno if its the full moon, or what.. but these pissy ass sale posts are getting old quick. If yall dont like the way a deal is done, go post in bad review.. If you do like it post in review. Leave the pissy ass whining at home.. |

Re: Vintage Air a/c New in the Box
Yes pissy ass whining. It has happened in several for sale threads recently. If it offends you then think if how we feel constantly being pulled into the issues. Its really not that hard to respond to an ad or move on.

Re: Vintage Air a/c New in the Box
WOW. Mahanian posted a legitimate question, and you come back calling it "pissy ass whining?" I don't spend a lot of time on the For Sale forums, so I was not aware of the unspoken "I'll take it rule", but I'm glad he posted that question for us that were not in the know.
While it may not matter (seeing as how the seller may already have the A/C sold), I asked a question about it and was waiting for the seller to answer Mahanian's questions b/c like someone said before, $600 is a lot of money to spend on anything these days, especially if you aren't sure what you will be getting in the deal. I see saying "I'll take it" like shaking hands. It's a done deal. But since the seller had a somewhat incomplete listing, I thought it necessary to find out more info about the parts for sale (and Mahanian expressed interest first!) Seems like an honest way to go about buying parts to me. So IMO, to be fair to ALL that "unwritten rule" should become a written rule so that you can point us "pissy ass whiners" to the rule and explain to us that it was our fault for not reading the posted rules. Liz just saw your last post.... Who pulled you into the issue?? We were having a very nice discussion here

Re: Vintage Air a/c New in the Box
She was pulled into the issue because it was reported by members and shows up to all the admins/team members for review. There have been several similar issues recently that were also reported.

Re: Vintage Air a/c New in the Box
Then maybe she should be taking jabs at the people that reported the issue instead of someone that asked a legitimate question. With that said, if you're receiving multiple reports on the same issue, then maybe it's something that needs to be addressed officially.

Re: Vintage Air a/c New in the Box
And I apologize to Sweet 72 for cluttering up his thread. I'm still interested in the AC!

Re: Vintage Air a/c New in the Box
I'm glad to hear from Liz on this unofficial "I'll take it rule" there has been a lot of confusion lately. I agree. It should be left up to the Seller and I think that Seller should note that in there ad. If I'm selling something I'd like to give ANY buyer the opportunity to ask any questions and not be FORCED to sell to the 5th inline because they said I'll take it. I do understand that there is a place for the" I'll take it" ad. Getting six shipping quotes and answering questions about a self described part is painful. Seeing it used as a tactic to snag a $40 Tach Cluster is painful as well.

Re: Vintage Air a/c New in the Box
Guys...we are making this a lot more difficult than it should be. If there were no guidelines in the area of Selling/Buying then it truely would become a mess. If ten perspective buyers said I'm interested and the 11th guy said I'll take it ... who gets the prize? The one who says I'll buy is assuming all risks and has made a judgement call that he/she knows what they are doing or the one who really hasn't made a firm offer and is still under consideration to what they want to do?
If a potential buyer is really interested then says "I'm interested but first clarify this"... That shows he/she wants to buy but needs a clarification on something. If someone says "I'm interested" then there is no committment from the buyer and no sure sale for the seller. If one says "I'll buy it" ...thats a sure sale. If you all knew how many times issues like this have come up you all would either cry or laugh... The above has been mention many of times so we are not trying to agitate but trying to keep things civil and fair for all involved. Now you know the rest of the story...

I am not saying all this in direct ref to you, just using your quote to go more in depth with the issue. Why do we get annoyed? Examples of the past few days alone... 1. reported post, buyer pays seller via paypal. Seller does not want to ship items until the money (instant payment) is in his bank account next week. Quotes guidelines about the 2 week shipping etc. Both parties very upset and pulling Admins into it to referee. 2. for sale ad, user PMs seller with offer. No one in thread knows this and parts are sold. Users in thread go off and pull Admins into the post wanting justice. 3. several reported posts on I said I want this in the reply and the seller skipped me. I know it is frustrating to want something and miss out. Seriously though, crap happens... If you do not get the part, then there probably was a reason why. If the seller wants to sell it local, so be it. I do feel it should had been stated that the part is for sale local as well... but whom here has never made a mistake? Is it reason to burn him at stake?? As far as making the I'll take it deal official, as so many demand.. should we also have rules about what words to use in rely to projects and builds? Maybe we should not have typing ability, and only the pre approved selective preworded replies for message threads? Seriously.. if you step back and think about what is being asked, it is over the edge. We have always gone above and beyond to help in bad deals, parts sales etc.. This recent rash of whining over getting overlooked in sales is past old. It takes the staff hours to go through the post, sort out whos who etc, and contact the sellers/ buyers. It takes away from other things they could be doing, and it is plain old annoying. If there is a legitimate issue PLEASE let us know... if you are just upset that you "missed out on a deal" then go outside, kick a garbage can, and move on..

Re: Vintage Air a/c New in the Box
I think I know what the root problems are here...
3. Post didn't state "for sale locally" even though it should be assumed it is. Because I'm sure 99.98% of all items for sale on here are for sale locally. 2. Seller can't stay on computer 24/7 so lots of questions and interest before seller could legitly get logged back next day to answer those questions. 1. Asking price was to cheap. |
