Not totally unheard of, just very uncommon. I believe someone posted toward the end of February of this year (one of the Melissa's (?)) saying that someone had offered to buy all the cels off a sale page just to get the one she had ON HOLD. Of course, I don't think this was a major cel dealer. I think there may have been a couple other posts like this. I know there have been quite a few where people though they had cels ON HOLD, but found out later they didn't as the seller had already sold them to someone else (perhaps because the person sent money sooner? I remember this problem didn't have to do with offering more money per se) I this is a slightly different situation though. Just another reason to read the forum archives/use the search function. Though, for these, I think you would have to just remember or get lucky on your search words. I got the feeling from the person's post that the seller knew it wasn't a great thing to do and there was no miscommunication Otherwise wouldn't the email have said something like "I'm sorry the hold time expired" or "I didn't know you really wanted those"? I feel very sorry for the anonymous originator of this thread. It always feels awful to think you have a great cel, but then to find out that you didn't. That's why I never consider a cel mine until it is in my hands. Keys Zzzzzz...zzzz... |
