Z4 E86 Stormforce Cover

[True-Blue]

Is there anything in the rules that enables a seller to refuse to sell to a specific buyer?

Nothing to do with this thread at all, or either of the potential buyers. I’m just genuinely interested as I feel there should be an option to not sell something to someone specific if you have a strong reason not to.

No the rules are quite clear.

The first offer of asking secures the sale. If you were to then back out and sell to someone else that would be considered not abiding by the rules.

So if you put something up for sale and someone offers what you asked for the rules state that the sale has been secured. I don't see how anyone could see it any other way.

It’s not about backing out, it’s about politely declining to deal with specific forum members

I've bought one somewhere else.

The more I think about it, the more I feel I was OK with what I did. 'Lance' had not seen my prior offer, so it doesn't count. I upped the offer to match his price, but the fact remains, I was first in the queue.

As of a couple of minutes ago (before I left this shower) I was first in line with the asking price. The ticket window/shop door had not opened yet.

.........And, I think it should have been left to the discretion of Lance. After all, if he didn't do what you ordered, what would you do? Fine him?

Just because the seller didn’t see your initial lower offer before someone offered the asking price, doesn’t mean it doesn't count. The simple fact is you were not the first to offer the asking price.

What is the point in anyone else offering full asking price if the person that offered less can then simply match it and claim the item.

Utterly ludicrous.

That's a good point Scubaregs.

Yes nicely put.

If I was selling something, got an offer, then someone offered the asking price I'd sell to the first offer I got for the asking price!

Wish I'd had that much interest in the Stormforce cover I sold a couple of years ago. :roll:
