Every time I get something bought it gets sold out from under me before I can get there . Had a van that got sold in front of me last year as I pulled into the driveway . I tried to get there earlier to buy it but the guy said he would not be home untill 10 I get there at 9:40 and he is selling it . Last Month it was a pool table I offered to paypal the guy and pick it up the next day and they said they would hold it for me then call back an hour later telling me they sold it . Today I tried to buy a turbo kit that I would have bought yesterday but the guy was going to work and he couldnt meet me anywhere . He was leaving early to go pay bills but couldnt meet me anywhere and said he would be up at 9:00 am this morning I call at 9:01 and he says some guy will be there any minute from Ky to buy it . What the fuck is wrong with these people . No one has any fucking honor any more . When I sell something if someone tells me they want it and will buy it and give me there word they will I hold it for them with a deadline . I try to buy shit and get dicked around buy the sellers and then they sell it out from under me or I have people selling me the wrong parts as well .

Well for starters 99% of people that say "ill be there in 10 min to pick it up" dont actuall show. So its not the seller, its the 10 jackholes that say there gona buy your stuff and never show up or call.

My point is the mother fuckers can not do it on the spot as I could have so I get a time from them to do it and then they sell it to someone else . They gave me the time to be there or the time to call .They must have have extra time to deal with someone else or they are using me that I have a guy who will be here at this time and he says he will buy it .

that happened to me last weekend when i was looking for a new TV since mine bit the big one, i emailed a guy that had a couple for sale that i was interested in with my number and asked him to give me a call when he got the email so i could come by and buy one or both from him, i got an email a couple hours later saying that one was sold and the other was available, so i immediately emailed him back (within 2 minutes) and then got an email back from him the next day saying i should have emailed him sooner because it sold an hour after he replied to me...i emailed him back and told him to check the time that my email was sent and why he didnt call me when i had my number in EVERY email that i sent and how i told him that i wasnt but 20 minutes from where he was...i never got a reply back from the sackless piece of shit because he knew he was wrong...fuckin low rents

I had the same thing happen to me on deal with someone from here. We agreed on a time I would meet him and then I get the phone call that he went ahead and sold it to someone else. All took place in a less than a 3 hour time frame.

Unless I know the person, I WILL NOT hold anything for ANYONE !!! I have held parts for the "Consider it Sold" "I'll be there (insert day)" people, Only to never hear from them or get some LAME ASS excuse as to why they couldn't they didn't make it !!! And 99.9% of the time they don't even have the Fucking courtesy to call, And then avoid your calls when you try to call them ... And this has happened to me from more then once by different people on here !!!
So until the cash is in my hand, It's FOR SALE !!!
Just my $.03 LOL

It's not Craig's List. I had that happen a few months ago with something posted on here.

My point is I was ready to fly and buy each time the sellers could not . They set the time and still shit on me .I understand its for sale untill paid for but they could not let the deal happen not me .
