Looks like I'm a bit late to the fray here. So allow me to fill you all in from my point of view and you can make your own minds up.
On the Tuesday, Hagasan asked to view the car and suggested he could make Wednesday or Thursday afternoons, or Saturday morning. I confirmed that I could do any of those times and at that point supplied my mobile number. He subsequently said he would come on the Thursday at 1pm on his way back from completing other business nearby, to which I agreed. All fair enough.
Contrast this Darrens approach... Wednesday morning, he makes initial contact. We spoke briefly about the car. He says he wants to buy the car, has the cash and can be at my address in 1.5 hours, to view and conclude the deal.
As a seller, what am I to do? Ask Hagasan if he could make it to my place sooner than Darren? Ask him if he would outbid Darren?? I think asking Hagasan to do either of these would have been a bit unreasonable.
