Retract offer

Good to know.

Audiogon (advertising) prices seem to be much cheaper on the whole than eBay selling.  Many of the Audio Products on EBay seem to be aimed at sucker buyers.  I have purchased on both forums though.  I understand both positions but I think very hard before pulling the trigger on an offer.  The line has to be drawn somewhere. 

I think the common thread is read the rules of the pool before you venture into it.  It's always the fine print that'll rule the day.

Sorry about your plight, sang.  Good luck with it.

I had a buyer go so far as to send me a bank check of $1000.00 deposit on a $5500.00 set of speakers. He had regrets of doing so. He ASKED if he could get his deposit back. I was happy to return the check. No matter what Audiogons policy is, I want happy customers and I'm not so hard up
for the money. I assume THIS is a major factor in sellers being so inflexible. Joe

Yes, off the record you should be somewhat flexible as a seller. If someone makes me a formal offer and then sends me an email within 24 hours that they changed their mind or they made a mistake, I'm not going to force them to follow through with the payment and wind up with something they can't afford or don't want.  But an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Think before hitting the buy now button. This is like the game show Deal or No Deal.
