We could argue for weeks and we wouldn't get anywhere, because you are arguing your opinions against facts. Your complaints are entirely based on your assumptions below:
This is your opinion, not a fact:> You think because I say I'm going to try to set up an account to receive payment from you, I am giving you my word or verbally agreeing that the item is sold to you and I'm going to hold it for you.
(even though I told you before hand that I would sell the item to the highest offer on Monday if you did not purchase it)
This is your opinion, not a fact:> You think I am "shady" because I did not hold the item for you after you offered my asking price. (when I told you before hand that I would sell the item to the highest offer on Monday if you did not purchase it for my asking price)
These opinions are the basis of you complaint against me. If you are going to come on this forum and accuse me of lying to you or "backing out of my word", then you better have the facts to back it up or your complaint doesn't hold any weight. If you cannot do so, then you need to retract your comments. Your opinions mean nothing. Don't bother responding to this post unless you can show that I in fact lied to you.
Whether I'm asking a price and selling an item outright, or I'm taking offers on an item, that item is still considered for sale unless A: payment is received. B: I Agree to hold the item for someone for whatever reason (mailing a check etc.). C: I stop taking offers at my predetermined time (which I tell to anyone who has made an offer), and hold the item for the person who gave me the highest offer. This is the way nearly all experienced sellers sell their items. You can not automatically expect the item to be sold to you or held for you unless you have purchased the item, or the seller tells you the item is being held for you (or agrees to do so).
I tried to set up an account with c2it because you said it would only take a few minutes. I linked my debit card on Sunday morning, which only allows me to send funds. I found out it was going to take 3-4 days to link my bank account so I could receive funds. It's not my problem you couldn't send payment in a method that I can accept.
The only possible verbal agreement we may have had was that I would sell you the components if you could send me payment, or if nobody offered more for them by Monday morning. And I did not breach this agreement in any way.
I told you before you gave me your offer: "I'm selling them to the highest offer on Monday, unless someone purchases them for my asking price before then." If you had a problem with the way I was selling my item, then why didn't you say something then, and why did you give me your offer? Don't come here crying about how you think I should have sold my item. You neglected to read and/or consider the terms of my sale, so you have nothing to complain about.
I'm waiting to hear some facts from you, and please don't drone on again with more of your opinions that you think are written in stone.
