I used a recent comparison for sold item at auction and even went $100 over that. But, realizing how quickly I was messaged several times, I probably could have held out for more or removed and relisted higher. But, I chose not to do that and honor my list price. But, he left a comment and vanished from contact for several hours. I reached out with a message to confirm the details and that he was good with everything and in that same message told him I had a lot of interest in the item already and to please respond quickly. He says he was out to dinner in his forum post. If that’s the case, why not comment, then directly message me letting me know he would be busy and get back to me soon. Then I would have held it for him. But he only commented. Leaving me to be the one to respond to him directly. That just isn’t how I do business. If you have interest, then show it. If I’m an interested buyer I contact the seller directly and confirm my interest and would explain why I wouldn’t be able to respond for 5 hours rather than rely on the seller to contact me. I made an attempt to contact him and confirm. I shouldn’t have even had to do that much if he wanted the item. Even in my post I stated “contact me directly”. Then for him to threaten to sue me and go to Leon and also make a forum post to try to make me out to be in the wrong when he made no attempt to let me know why he wouldn’t be able to respond for hours. I had to ask him to stop messaging me as he kept sending those types of messages threatening action until I just had to block him from continuing to message me. Very childish behavior that could have been handled much better overall. But I feel that I handled my end as best I could with what I was given. Even with him continuing to message me after I asked him to stop, I didn’t try to take any action against him and simply blocked him. Like an adult.
