BST etiquette am I wrong

What do the words, "i'll take it," convey if not an intention to take it? This just isn't complicated IMO. The man said I'll take it, a follow up message was sent clarifying if he was good with no fee, the card was still available at that point, give the man a chance to finalize the deal. Good Lord, the pretzel twisting here is ridiculous IMO.

I think the bigger issue is the radio silence. We all have our own idea around what is an appropriate window to give someone. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to move on if the counterparty has gone dark and isn’t responding to requests to confirm key details.

It was a few hours. He didn't go dark at all, as I see it. Some of us aren't staring into our devices all day lol.

Peter, you have over 33,000 posts. Clearly, you're staring into some device that has net54 visible on it more than most people.

LOL funny. Some days more active than others, depends on work, family, etc. I think I tend to pick up a lot of post counts in threads like this.

The biggest lie ever perpetuated here was pretending this site is a "community" (with all the respect and goodness that implies).
A "school of sharks" would clearly be a more accurate descriptor.

It's a community until 2 or more people want the same item. Then it turns into a school of sharks.
