BST etiquette am I wrong

[bigfanNY]

Last night I am out to dinner I see a post for a Police Gazette Supplement of Joe Jackson. Seller is asking $1750. I posted to thread If the Jackson is available I will take it. Seller responds.

Getting a lot of interest. Are you good at $1750? I’d like a no fee method if possible, or net to me at 1750. Let me know quickly.

I responded done. Send me payment information.

This morning I get you took to long to respond so I sold to someone else.

Am I wrong or dose I will take it mean just that?
When I get an I'll take it I just send my payment information. I have never had anyone say I will take it and back out. But maybe BST is changing.

I have twice and realistically there is nothing that can be done about it. I just moved on and now refuse to deal with them. So not new just not brought up much for a few reasons.

We just did a very long thread on this very topic. Lots of viewpoints there.

And here is the post in question to the extent the language matters.

Thank you, sir. The right thing to do, IMO.

I have never had anything like that happen to me in the B/S/T. I sympathize with the OP; that would be awful.

If they were still going back and forth on price, it's hard to see an obligation to wait with an offer in hand. But here the seller clearly could have waited a reasonable time for the OP to confirm payment method, especially where the OP had asked for payment method. Breach of contract, no, not technically IMO, but breach of etiquette, for sure.

EDIT TO ADD In light of Leon's post, clarifying that this assessment is based on taking the OP at his word as to what happened.

According to what you stated, you are not wrong (to me).
Please PM me their id. At least we can do an infraction and if they do it again they will be banned. It is not ok to consummate a deal and not go through with it. (unless there is an extraordinary situation)
That said, I will always get the other parties comments about the situation, to make a fair decision.
