From: "Subject: RE: Or Best Offer: a misleading--and
dishonest--phrase [was: FW: Ricoh / Pentaxsystem]
It seems to me that once the seller has agreed to see something
to a person, he is morally at least, and possibly legally
obligated to see it for the price he agreed to, even if a better
offer comes along.
I have sold a couple of items to list members in the past year,
and facilitated another transaction by posting a for sale on the
list.
In retrospect, I should have waited longer to reply to potential
buyers, as I could have made substantial profit by waiting.
However, Once I said I would sell at a certain price, then as
far as I was concerned, I had made a deal, and was obligated to
sell.
That is the way it should be done.
I have always thought that "best offer" means "best reasonable
offer". If someone makes a ridiculously low offer, then the
"best offer" would be to keep the product for ones self.
