Phony buyers on Audiogon

Belfran, read the A'gon rules for leaving feedback. In this particular case, the guy probably got cold feet. Are lowballers, lookey-loos and phony buyers annoying? Yes. I have had it done to me a countless number of times, but did I feel the need to leave negative feedback or even want to? No. Like it or not, people have the right to change their minds. Life is too short. Lesson learned and move on. The guy wasn't even an A'gon member. Red flag anyone?

Belfran,
Do I think it is important to honor a verbal contract? Of course I do, but not all "verbal contacts gone bad" are as cut and dried as someone backing out or changing their minds. There could be other reasons, but you would have them all slapped with negative feedback regardless of the reason. In any event, There are more important things to concern ourselves with even if it is a simple case of cold feet. 'Tis easy enough to move on to the next buyer. If your equipment is priced fairly it will sell. With an auction, especially a dealer auction it usually states "Your bid is a binding contract". That is a different issue. Until A'gon decides to change their policies concerning this issue with private buyers/sellers try to deal with it as best you can.
