Peter,
Again, I agree with you.
The buyer did everything correctly, within the context of the Net54 B/S/T...and on almost every other level.
Should he have sold his Mantle before having the upgrade in hand? The answer to that is open to interpretation. I personally believe (as do you, if I am not mistaken) that the OP was right in expecting the "seller" to deliver a specific performance.
Would I let the original card go before having the upgrade in hand? Who knows? Does it really matter?
In this particular case:
"Seller" offered the card for sale
Buyer negotiated with "seller"
The two parties agreed upon a price
Buyer delivered the money
As far as I am concerned, the buyer completed their end of the transaction completely and in good faith. The "seller" backed out of a deal that was already done. Shame on them.
Again, I am not singling you out or disagreeing with you regarding the main point of this discussion.
Yes, Dan is a weasel for backing out of a deal that he not only negotiated with the buyer...he was also paid in full and then reneged on the deal.
Best regards,
Eric
