OT: OPINIONS ON PARTS SELLERS ON THE BOARD, Another One Without Ethics Or Integrity Options

[Type 4 Unleashed]

THIS WAS MY PM TO THE SELLER

I, am interested in the items, here is my zip- 92656, for shipping charges, if their still available?

PM FROM SELLER NEXT DAY AFTER GETTING HOME FOR WORK.

They are available. shipping to CA is 15 bucks.

I, SENT THE PM BEFORE I WENT TO BED, NO RESPONSE, BEFORE I CRASHED, HAD TO BE UP AT 5:30, WORK

RESPONDED TO SELLER AFTER GETTING HOME FROM WORK

I, just got off work.
Send, me your address, and I'll get you a Postal Money Order out in the morning.

RESPONSE FROM SELLER

Sorry, out of the blue a local guy came over and scarfed em' up.

MY RESPONSE

Too, Bad your one of those people who do business that way. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/stromberg.gif)

HIS RESPONSE

OK, partner, look at this serise of posts/replys.

No where in there do you say "I'll take them".
Had you done that they would be yours. I am good to my word and feel free to ask any body around this or other BBSs to find out the truth of that.
You didn't say the magic words and you're shit outta luck and blaming me for your own oversight.

You'll note that the guy that posted second said the words and he got em'.

I ain't sorry any more.

MY RESPONSE

What a crock of (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/stromberg.gif) , apparently I did have first's on those, by your pm last night, and you couldn't wait to hear back from me, you sold them to some body else before you did. Your using symantics as an excuse, you took the easy way out, you got your cash. And you sold them to some body close to you, probally some one you've done business with before, a friend? Your not the only one who deals that way.

I, seem to get all the ASSHOLES.

HIS RESPONSE

Suit your self, fuckwad, but that's the way it works.
I can see why some of your deals go bad. Everyone is a dipshit but you, eh? You're (note the speeling) my first complaint. Everyone has to have one, I suppose.

HE STILL WOULD OF SOLD THE ITEMS TO HIS BUD, EVEN IF I HAD SAID HIS MAGIC WORDS

OPINIONS: AM I IN THE WRONG?

I agree with those who sided with Seller.  No contract or any kind of commitment was formed.

Have to agree with the majority of the group here. Better communications between seller and potential buyers will avoid this in the future.

I've recently responded to club members looking for parts for their cars, usually e-mailing pictures and suggesting they make an offer if interested. What grinds me the wrong way is a total lack of response what so ever. It's only proper to reply, even if it's to tell me to
Fuck Off! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/finger.gif)

I don't think it's too much to ask in return for the time spent to remove the parts from my parts car, photograph the parts and to send them to the
individual who posted the request. Anyone agree with this or is it only me?
