Unfortunate but the deal is not final until pictures of dead presidents
or Ben Franklin change hands. Check or PayPal will not do the job
either. If they refuse teh Pay Pal or do not cash the check you loose.
Check with the antique car crowd, they will explain how this works as
many old wrecks have sentimental value to the family member ho pops up
and kills your deal. If the seller is holding cash the deal is final,
but if not cash then they can back out on you.

Hello all
I need to rant. I have been made a sucker. I sold my nice mahogany Victrola XVI in order to buy a Victrola XIV in beautifully grained American Walnut on Craigslist. The deal was made a few days ago (all documented in email) and I was set to drive down to San Clemente tomorrow to get it. Tonight the seller writes me and says "Hi John, I'm sorry to say this but I have another offer on the
Victrola for $600. The collector thAt looked at it said it has an
uncommon walnut finish. Anyway, I am giving him until next weekend to
pay/pickup. I'm sorry for any inconvience this may have cause you. Good
luck to you."
So I sold my nice XVI for nothing. And the seller reneged on a done deal
because she got a better offer (by the way, her ad asked for $450 and I agreed
to pay that). The other collector is going to find out that it isn't
Circassian, and I hope he renegs on her. I reported her to Craigslist for gogn
back on the deal. Obviously I am very unhappy about this. I just wanted to vent.
Thank you for listening! Now I have to find a nice victrola to replace my XVI...
