For those interested, this was an item I had for sale. Pokinfun asked a couple of questions that I responded to, the first was what size of the collets and the second was how much would shipping be. I’m sorry I couldn’t answer your questions as soon as you sent them, I do have family obligations to attend too. I answered them as quick as I could. The actual buyer sent a firm I’ll take it and said he’s local right after you asked how much shipping cost would be. So, I went off of time stamps, his being the first I’ll take it. If I had to wait for all the tire kickers in line, we’d never get anything sold on this forum.
Also, the comment about the buyer not knowing the size of the collets was way off the mark. He looked at the picture and saw that the collets sizes were written on the lid of the blue box.
I’ve been a member in great standing on this board for 10 years or so and sold hundreds of items and never once had an issue. I’ve lost out on my fair share because I kicked the tires a bit too long. Guess I’ll start putting a disclaimer with rules at the bottom of each one of my ads so prospective buyers know what methodology I’ll be choosing the winner.
P.S. - I was going to apologize and explain through a PM but I guess I wasn’t quick enough for that either...
I was just wondering how other people handle it because I handled the same situation the exact opposite way. In the end it is $10, which is not enough to get upset about. I do not think you did something immoral, but it is not the way I handled it. If you are good with jumping past the first person asking about your item, then be happy about it.
