Go easy on him! He has the right to change his mind, especially if it's obvious he's not going to get as much as he wants for the guitar. I know it's not nice when you think you are going to get a bargain and the auction is pulled early, but it's the sellers guitar and he can do what he wants with it.
Of course any seller has the right to 'change' their mind.
As fas as what the seller could have potentially received for the item, I informed the seller the exact amount I was prepared to offer, contingent upon receiving the information I requested concerning the item.
I in no way, shape, or form believed I would be getting a bargain, particularlly at the price I was offering.
I have paid a lot less than many others for certain guitars, and conversely I have paid much more than many others are likely willing to pay for other guitars. For me, that's just business.
As I stated earlier, "For myself, and I can ONLY speak for myself, I am a buyer, a seller, a collector, and a player, period."
One thing that means is that when I decide to place an item for bidding, I have decided to do just that, and not to play games with other people.
I really do not need another guitar; I need one like I need a hole in my head, lol but I won't be dealing with this particular seller because he has proven himself to be unreliable.
That's OK too :wink:
On a different note; have any of the more tenured members here noticed a NEW & recent stench about?
