Please note: I confirmed with JohnR that there aren't any site rules in the Classifieds forum concerning priority buyers, etc. and I find myself explaining to people where they are "in line" based on when they contacted me and how.
In lieu of specific rules and in fairness to all, this is how I am operating my sale postings here:
- Whomever commits to the sale first "wins", regardless if they were not the first to express interest. The difference here is "interest" vs. a decision to buy. I know some purchases need to be considered, but honestly, it isn't fair to hold off a committed buyer while you are thinking about it.
- In fairness to all, please do your best to talk with me publicly in the sale thread until a sale agreement is made, then we can PM.
Please note that it isn't necessarily in my best interest to operate this way -- but it's transparent and fair, which is something we all deserve.
Thanks,
Eric
