OSA Member Backs Out on Deal ?

[rhino2u]

So I email this OSA member on a shot gun he has for sale. I made an offer, if the gun checks out. He replies "good with me" agrees to meet to let me look at gun. He then emails back later saying "sorry", he has to "back out of the deal", had "recieved a better offer".
Seems like bull **** to me......... you would at the least think he would have emailed me back telling me of the better offer and if I would still be interested.

Not the way deals work. once you agree to an offer that's where you stand. Too many jerkoffs not standing by their word these days.

Post feedback on him is the best solution.

You did not agree to buy it, you agreed to look at it by my understanding. :/

maybee he got an ill take it instead of ill look at it and decide later??

He may have had it listed elsewhere at a higher price and got a firm deal there. It does suck but it is just business.

Let me see if I understand this, you said you made an offer (sounds to me like less than his asking price) pending your approval of the item. Is this correct?

In my book if you make a deal it's a deal, but all deals are upon inspection. One side checks out the weapon/item to make sure it was as advertised and the other side counts the money to make sure it is the agreed upon amount. If someone makes you an offer you either accept it, reject it, or tell them you'll get back with them. You don't say yes and then back out.

it is not sold until cash is exchanged.
