He's most likely kicking himself, and now getting greedy. I bet he got a hundred calls on that.
Hmmn........$12k+ worth of parts for $5k.................

The problem I have is someone is calling him after congratulating me on the purchase. I too would be upset on missing a deal, but I would not call the seller and try to undermine a fellow Rennlister.

I went to the bank, got the cash, and drove over to his house. A non-local fellow Rennlister called him back on the phone "while I was signing the friggin papers" and offered him more than his asking price...didn't even have the money with him. This was after I told the same person I was buying the car on the phone while I was at the sellers house. Personally I thought that was about the most chicken**** thing a man can do...especially after I cut him a very good deal on a Turbo trans just 2 months before. He knows who he is and so do many other people here...I'm not pissed anymore but I chock it up to his lack of integrity, mommy and daddy's money, and his age. I hope to God it's not the same guy sharking you on this deal. Good Luck...
BTW, the deal WAS done. I upped the amount last night because he was getting offers. We agreed on the deal and I was to Paypal today. This forum is so that we can help each other. We all want to grab that great deal, but don't mess it up for someone else if you didn't get the deal.

Just my opinion -- but this also applies to eBay auction equally well.
It's a free market!
If you can buy something cheap (or sell something dear), then get the deal done ASAP. Otherwise, you could get outbid, or the seller/buyer realizes the mistake, and so forth. An agreement (written or verbal) isn't going to hold anyways. It sucks sometimes, but we like to call it capitalism at work. Unless there was something criminal involved (slander for instance), I don't see anything wrong with it -- it just sucks, but that's life in a market system.

If someone blew Daigos' deal last night after a seller/buyer agreement was made I want to know the persons name and who to avoid...I don't care how long they have been here...bad JuJu is bad JuJu and this one is starting to stink. This ain't eBay.

The point of this board is to answer tech questions. If I wanted the car, hell yea I'd out offer diago. I don't know you man, I never met you, and I'd do what it takes to benefit myself in such a situation. Free market, thats how our economy works, and thats what this country is built on. If you were a freind, it would be different.
Sorry, thats my opinion, popular or not.
As for a seller agreement, thats up to the ethics/morals of the seller and nobody else.

Before I knew, daigo was the winner, Lance had called me last night responding to a message that had left in his voice mail. I told him over the phone that I will give more money than the highest offer he got. This morning he email me and told me that Daigo was supposed to call him to confirm today. Well I responded and confirmed my offer in written. Daigo is a fellow lister and a great customer, but we are talking about business, also I did not mention anything derrogatory or bad about daigo. I just stand by my last night offer. Where is the wrong doing?
