Umm...
No, if someone is selling something, accepts money for
it, which in the eyes of the law is a bona fide
CONTRACT, then I think it is VERY much in the
interests of the mailing list for everyone to at least
know who they are dealing with in possible future
transactions and what the outcome of a sale might end
up being with this seller, especially one who agrees
to a price and then asks the list for values on a car
that is already sold and then, within 24 hours,
decides NOT to sell the car, even after accepting
payment.
So, if someone on the list were to agree to sell you
something, take the money (which is really an interest
free loan, correct?), and then decide not to sell it
to you, you would feel comfortable with this person
advertising other items on the list and not warning
people to be careful in dealing with this person
because they don't follow through with their
contracts, correct?
I just think that it shows extremely poor judgement on
the part of the seller, according to what I heard, and
I feel that, given the circumstances and the email
that Nick posted concerning pricing, there was
reasonable justification to post publically asking him
for his side of the story.
But Brian, if you don't feel this way, then how about
buying a 1956 Adventurer from me for $2000.00??
Rust-free original, garaged it's entire life, etc.
Tell you what, send me the $2000.00 and then in a week
after I use your money interest free, I'll send it
back to you and tell you I changed my mind.
Would that bother YOU? The only difference is that
you would have the benefit of knowing you weren't
really getting the car, right?
I didn't accuse, I merely asked Nick for his side of
the story.
Sincerely,
Leslie Howard
