...You express an interest in a bike for well over a week and you communicate with the seller about it, you make an offer to buy it. You leave your offer on the table. You then up your offer to the seller's asking price, pending a few more pictures. The seller responds by saying that he will get some pictures to me, but the seller doesn't send any pictures and then when you ask him the following day you get a reply to say that he's since accepted another offer for the asking price (albeit plus postage).
Now, I know that my final offer was INCLUDING postage (and so slightly less) - however I'm a little frustrated that the seller didn't at least contact me to say that he'd received another offer from someone who was willing to pay for postage, as I'd have done the same and matched it. I thought that perhaps the fact that I'd been communicating with him for over a week about it, and had upped my offer to his asking price might at least make me deserving of some kind of first refusal..?
I'm sure I'm just ranting about nothing, but I just wanted to vent!
I won't name the seller as it's a bit petty given the fact that no money has changed hands. Still frustrates me though!!
