Sold Sold Sold


Has anyone had a scenario like this ? Was talking to love4audio about buying a Auralic streamer. Told him I'd be out of the country for a week and would buy when I got back. Well as soon as I reached the states I emailed him to get it done. No response, I emailed 3 times with no answer.  Upon looking at the ad it now says Sold. I believe this is wrong on so many  levels and I will never buy from this type of seller. What you say ?

@richardbrand you are conflating all these issues, like SMTP and SSL, all major email providers encrypt the messages, meaning no one else can decrypt it and read it during the transportation of the packages.

If it wasn't the case all hackers would be billionaires but at least multi-millionaires.4

Email is usually sent over the internet in plain text

No it is not. It is encrypted. If it was sent in plain text, you would have 99 out of a 100 politicians blown into a zillion pieces by scandals. 

@dekay ...Spaced Forced Puters have to be approached with care and tongs....

...btw, Don't push that plate next to what appears to be a sort of cube CPU.

Yeah, that one, the Teleport Discriminator....pushing it triggers a 'random surface site clear' transport if the 'cpu' is about to implode...

You'll be OK, a random safe distance and Not in a wall....where you Were, however....

Hope you have your wallet... 

Ever try selling something of Facebook Marketplace?  For every one legit buyers there are 10 ghosts. That's business in 2025 on the internet.  Not the same as a handshake in 1960.

The OP is a nutball for thinking the seller had any obligation to hold this unit based on the above conversation.  Why didn't he buy the unit before he left town? Just ridiculous! 

Time to put the thread to bed.

As often happens with these whiner woe is me threads the other side of the story comes out and all that was accomplished is the Op losing whatever prior perceived credibility he/she may have had.

@carlsbad2

yep …+1 ….bigtime .

This is a just a basic informal and rudimentary bulletin board forum, with a first come, first serve mantra, “You snooze = You lose….. .”

Seller does not know you and owes you nothing in the interim when there was no deal yet.

Lesson learned: Buyer could have and should have provided a good faith EFT cash deposit upfront to support any deferred deal and delivery terms. Every bona fide deal requires both an offer AND an acceptance of terms,
