BST etiquette am I wrong

[Cody77]

To me, has nothing to do with generational. If you have interest in something, show it. My post asked to contact me directly, which he did not. His comment also said “if still available”. I already had people contacting me, he wasn’t the first. So why should I wait for him, when he was like the fifth? I hadn’t received confirmation from the others and had given them time. I finally got confirmation from one of the earlier ones (which I noted in my message to him that others were already interested, but I technically hadn’t made the sell yet). But to me, as with any generation, a deal isn’t complete until there is an agreement between parties. I got a notification of interest before his comment and I let him know that in my message. Someone who had interest before him was able to contact me back to confirm before he could, so I did the right thing and sold to that person. Jonathan wasn’t first, was messaged to let him know he wasn’t first and I just wanted confirmation before selling. Had me messaged and explained his absence and response time then I would have accepted that as confirmation of his agreement and held it for him until he got back.

I’ve never done a deal with him before, I have no rapport with him. So how was I to know how serious he was? I made an effort to reach out and let him know there was obviously other interested and a timely response would be needed to secure it. He didn’t do that. Not sure how I’m in the wrong in any of this. Seems like an open and shut case to be honest.
