SO disappointed and upset with TOTV seller who sold their cabinet out from under me after agreeing to buy it!

Trust in sellers here would have tanked if it was not for Whooter whose transaction was super in spite of his being so ill! Luv ya guy! Hope you're feeling better!

I don't blame you for being P. O.'d.
There is no excuse for that kind of treatment to you or for their behavior.
I'd be curious to know what they said.
Sellers who do that kind of thing should be banned from listing their items.

I guess to some people scruples is what you put on toast to eat for breakfast.

Same thing happened to me. Told them I'd like to buy item ASAP, but seller had dentist appt. and he would call me when he got home. I never heard back so I called back and was told that his wife sold item while he was gone.

Happens to the best of us who have positive intentions and then you get there and item you wanted is gone!!! Can't get there soon enough!!

From personal experience, too many buyers with promised intention to buy but don’t show up. Now it’s first come first serve.
Maybe these wannabe buyers should be banned instead.

LOL Seller was not available until 11:45am...I called at 1pm and got answering machine...called again approx 2:30pm and got answering machine...3pmish I got text item was sold! Persaps suspend seller's privilege for 60 days rather than ban them.

I can’t count how many times I have sat home waiting for a buyer to show up who never does and turned away others that were interested for an item I advertised. Now I tell anyone upfront that you better call right before you leave to make sure I still have the item because it is subject to prior sale. Also if they do show up they often start negotiating again or change their mind.

Many people have paypal or now Applepay Personal these days and I tell them to send me payment up front if they are sure they want it.

Unless you gave a deposit, you weren't stiffed. First to come with cash deposit or entire amount in cash is who gets the item. A promise to purchase isn't worth a thing.

First come first served. I owned a retail store for a couple years and can't even count how many people asked me to hold something and never showed up. I quickly changed my policy to "I have it in stock subject to prior sell" call before you drive to the store. Something would apply to a personal item I would be selling.

I say let them continue to sell but hindered by locking them in a stock.

The early bird gets the worm.

It is hard to refuse a buyer with cash in hand.
