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 ?

Not sure what alternative facts you’re smoking (assuming you’ve actually read the thread).  Just on the basis of the actual email exchanges, the seller comes off as a gentleman, someone who went out of his way to help a potential buyer, even to the point of finding another seller for him.  The OP, on the other hand, was unprofessional and rude in the original convo.  Then, on top of that, the OP comes on this forum and lies about the original exchange, slanders the seller, and tries to hurt his business.  There’s only one possible takeaway here, obviously.

Thanks everyone! 

I actually don't do this for a living. I'm an audio enthusiast, a former music major and indie studio engineer who loves music and audio. I bought and sold tons of new and used gears in the past years. I'd been helping people sell and trade their stuff and I met a lot of good people in the process.

True story, recently, I agreed to sell an Enleum HPA-23RM Headphone amp to someone for $2000 and then received another cash offer for $2300 the very next day. I honored the original $2000 without flinching. Now, that's a gentlemen's agreement. How many people on agon would do that right now? And if there were even a semblance of an agreement to buy the item as Zappas so had claimed, I would have honored it. And by saying "I'll see what's happening when I get back" is borderline a brush-off. It's like saying "If it doesn't sell by the time I get back, I'll low-ball you then". 

And as soon as OP Zappas turns definitively rude, not only he's no longer a gentleman, he becomes instantly ineligible to buy anything from me in the future. This is good riddance. I will not deal with this level of immaturity, entitlement and disrespectfulness.

Mic drop.

Betcha weren’t expecting that when you started this BS thread.
