@drpat, You say you get it, but your next statements shows that you really don't.
As soon as "good conversations" ensue you need to conclude them with either:
A) Here is my firm offer good for X amount of time. Ready to pay now.
B) I'd like to mull it over until the end of the day, so will you accept $100 refundable deposit NOW via paypal to hold it until the end of the day and give me right to match other incoming offers.
or C) I'd like to mull it over and will get back to you by day's end, and I accept the risk that you might accept another firm offer(maybe even at a lower price) if one comes in.
Expecting anything more from the seller isn't reasonable nor to be expected from most sellers here, not even those you know personally.
Good luck on the next one! Guessing you'll find a better deal. Cheers,
Spencer
