twk123 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 He hasn't e-mailed me back. I would thing that if he wanted a bidding war he'd contact everyone who replied. The bidding war would be weird to have in front of someone's house. Besides, usually you just show up with whatever cash the seller is asking and not much else.

W27 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 That's the problem when these alerts get too popular. If one local guys calls dibs, everyone else should just wish him luck. Instead the seller gets hammered with emails from guys all over the country. Most of which with no actual interest to buy. He probably assumed there wouldn't be much interest in pro/industrial looking speakers. After all the responses I'm sure he's done his homework, and isn't about to leave all that money left on the table. I've seen a lot of deals blown this way. I wouldn't be surprised if some clown emailed him to tell him they're worth more. I hope it works out for you MKP. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvu80 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 MPK, I agree with Mr. Smith, the "deal" is exactly what it looks like; if it looks too good to be true, it's not. Time to stop agonizing, and time to move on. Don't let this scammer game bother you or waste any more of your time because that is the troll's game.

mustang guy Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 It looks like the guy has some other gear. If he isn't too awful far away, it might be worth the risk of a bidding war. Just figure the max you are willing to pay. Actually, you might just email him with the max you will pay but it is a take it or leave it offer. If he says no, then you didn't waste a trip.

jimjimbo Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 "Call dibs"? What is this, 3rd grade? Secondly, unless someone specifically shows their location, there is no way to know where they are, so "local" means nothing..... Bottom line, if you have interest in something, and don't want half the free world to know about it, DON'T put it in the Alerts! Simple as that.
