This is not ebay. Not cool to sell to someone else once agreement is reached. When I sold my RS could likely have gotten more based on interest it received but I honor what I tell people.

I was also interested in the car. But when the owner told me over the phone I would have to offer above the asking price , because he already had agreed to selling it to someone else at his asking price and only then he would sell it to me. I told him I respected the person whom he agreed to sell at his asking price and told him I would pass.

I asked if I was in the ballpark and got no response.
Later that day (7PM) I got a text "Just took a higher offer with no contingencies" - at the time I took this to mean that I was given another chance to "bid again" but in hindsight maybe it meant that the deal was done. Either way, I was disappointed and PO'd about how the process was done. I replied that this really should have been an eBay auction instead of a classified listing.
I do think the seller was just caught off guard and decided to maximize his profit above all else. Maybe he is in dire financial straights and needs every dollar, karma be dammed. Again, in that case an auction would have been better for him, and he would have gotten an even higher price.
If it was me and after posting an ad here for a vehicle I got three or four offers at asking price sitting in my PM inbox, I'd probably think hard about moving the car to eBay and posting the link to the auction in my advert. Some might even seen that as poor form, but I think it would be "fair" to all concerned. I have had the case where I accepted a "contingent" offer and then got another one just as good or better. In that scenario I always put party two "on deck" and promise to get back if the deal falls through. Simple, and seems in the spirit of the community. And things do fall through so having backup is good for the seller.
The seller contacted me yesterday via text after seeing my comments here, and he admits it got out of hand. I do think he wishes it had been handled differently on his part and we will have to see what he has to say on the subject. But the actions leave a sour taste in my mouth - I'm shopping for a car now and want to know I am dealing with fair actors when I work with the Rennlist community.
Since I feel bad, I'm sure 2qwik4u feels even more wronged. Sorry Bro.
Sorry that happened to you - it would NEVER happen if you bought a car from me. Sux.

I was in line to but asked to outbid original owner and said PASS. I missed a few aircooled cars the same way, 2 of them I had deposit on and one was already through a PPI. It is what it is.

maybe you can use some of this money you have to pay member dahlen back for the large amount of oem parts that never were sent to him during the deal on the car you sold him which also has cost him thousands to fix because of the shoddy work you did on it.

Totally agree. When seller/buyer agreed for a selling price and agreement/deposit has been made; the car is assume "sales pending". It is not gentleman to sell the car to "highest bidder" when you made an agreement to other party.

yikes. when I bought my car off RL I had made a verbal agreement and 2 other potential buyers offered 1-2k more than me a day or so afterward. Seller held off telling them he had an offer pending. (mine)
I sent the money, he sent the car. Glad it went that way, I can't imagine how frustrating it must be for people who have to go thru this kind of bs
