I understand your point Lee. Although that's the housing market and you did wait four years to enjoy that appreciation.
This bloke waited 3 days to mark up a $180 item to $225!!!! And, as a buyer, you enter the market knowing full well you're likely to be buying for more than the vendor originally bought (most times, anyway).
The housing market is about profit, not our little private astro community
Anyhoo... the upshot? I get home this afternoon after we've exchanged three e-mails saying "it's a deal and let's exchange PayPal details later tonight"... and the dirty rat tells me he's gone and sold it.
Here's the reason:
There was a little bit of miscommunication/confusion (on my part) . . . some of my incoming e-mail is going into the "Junk Folder" . . .
Interestingly, every e-mail I sent... he received A-OK and replied. What the!!!!
So it appears he's gone and got the price he wanted for it anyway, all the time letting me think we had a deal.
Now, that's what I find offensive
I got well and truly on my high horse and reported the matter to Astromart mods.
Nothing will come of it, but I just feel better for getting the dirty water off my chest.
I'm now rocking backwards and forward in a corner of the room chanting the mantra "Serenity now .... serenity now ... serenity now"
