Believe me you do not want just anybody shipping you speakers and as a seller of speakers you do not want to ship if you do not have to. Look for speakers near you or with an experienced dealer who will make sure (hopefully) that they are packed right. Use someone who can take a credit card so if there is a problem you have the leverage in the deal if shipping is involved.
Is this the normal way business is handled?
Maybe someone has asked this before but being somewhat new I haven't seen this issue addressed.
I was looking into buying a pair of speakers from another member (who lives 2000 miles away) While I was asking the seller the usual questions, I'm sure other people were too.
Well I decided to buy the speakers and told the seller so. I was willing to pay the asked price along with all shipping costs. He stated that a local (to him)person was interested (but had not comitted to buy), and he would rather sell them to them to avoid shipping. I feel my offer to purchase was just used as leverage to make the other person to make a quicker decision.
Since I made the first offer isn't the seller obligated to sell them to me?
