I understand how you might feel, yet can also speak from a seller's
position : until I get cash in hand, the thing is open to all comers.
I tried like Heck to sell an old van, some months ago. Dozens of emails
The level of aggravation involved with selling anything is sufficiently
high that I usually just trash it instead. The general exception is if
I can eBay the item and then if its unique and/or fragile that is a pain
also as the seller is never interested in paying the actual shipping costs.

OK..I've been told by several people, one who could hardly stop
laughing, that I am definitely NOT naieve. So I'll chalk it up to good luck.
I do think it's a sad state of affairs that a person's word means so little
these days.
John, glad you ended up with something that took the sting out

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
to do -- people need to be held
accountable for their actions. At least you have a nice new space to put your
next acquisition in!
Best,
Robert

It isn't a done deal until you appear and money changes hands, and what you
describe isn't really all that out of line. At least she came clean and told
you what was happening. She didn't make you sell the XVI, so although that's
unfortunate, it doesn't apply to the beef you have with her.

I think a lot of us may have seemed to have better luck than most, and better

other collectors, and only occasionally dealt with people who didn't know much

That verbal contract isn't worth
deal. What can I say -
caveat emptor, let the buyer beware - on Craigslist and on the phono lists as
well. Don't be naive.
