Are gentleman's agreements a thing of the past, or did I expect too much?

Well, I had an agreement with a seller to buy an item on this forum B/S/T and while waiting to get payment information was sent a message that the seller had gotten a better offer and had sold it out from under me so it happens even here.

Unfortunately, family and/or more money will trump most seller's honesty.

Sad but true.

That's really weak. It amazes me that some people lose sight of their reputation when it comes to a few dollars. My reputation's worth more than a couple of bucks to me.

That is utter BS. Would appreciate a PM or post of that amazing members ID.

Without an actual price I can see their side of it going to the brother. Saying that I personally would have tried finishing the deal with the OP first. I have had similar happen several times including on here.

Sadly, for $5 some will ruin their reputation and the funny thing is they have no qualms about it. It makes me wonder how they are in just every day life. It sucks but you will run across all types everywhere you go.
