Sellers Beware

I would like to inform the Audiogon Community about an individual I tried to do business with and hopefully what happened to me will not happen to others.

An individual, Frank, made me an offer on my speakers. I accepted his offer. He then sends an email asking how much freight will cost and he wanted the least expensive. A legit question. I informed him about clicking on Audiogon’s Get Cost for the freight cost and I proceeded to tell him I would take the speakers to USPS and get an actual cost for him. 

This was all by email. I asked him to please make an official offer through Audiogon. He never did. I have not heard a word from him since 5/30 when he asked about the freight cost. 

My thoughts are this individual should not be trusted. 

Have other members had experiences like this? I have sold quite bit on Audiogon and never had a problem before.

Uh, wait a minute. Maybe I'm completely crazy.

Where is it written that obligation to buy comes with asking a question?

Oh; but I've asked a question. Am I now obligated to buy this thread???

To the original poster -- yes. I stand corrected. That is crummy behavior on the part of the offered-didn't buy person. No argument there.

The way many of the responses read, it sounded as if merely asking a question carries some obligation. Reread and see whether you can agree with -- or at least see -- my read.

I guess the specific topic of this thread evolved (which is not bad).
