CAVEAT EMPTOR1--DBA "THE SELLER"

Welcome to the continuing saga of "THE SELLER"
Here's another. Have a 'SPECIAL CUSTOMER'. Sends me e-mails with an almost frantic need. Sends a small dissertation on himself coupled with real lowball offer(s) for an off GB sale, supported by his own brand of sanity. I'll call it irrationality. His e-mail(s) always have a strong "urgency" to do something right now. "I just bought three others and am going to the dealer right now and want to add another. Ok.? Or, attempting to justify a low price--"I am an avid colt collector and we collectors have to buy them low". OK! I respond with simple and direct, I decline. I am not sure why I should care why he is in a hurry and simply do not care why he wants a low price. Being a SELLER, I want a low price when I am buying and of course a high one when I am selling. The buyer always wants the opposite. Or, maybe I have missed something. Guess I need more education. We'll try an experiment. All SELLERS must sell as though the were buying. That might work! One things for sure, we will run out of SELLERS soon.
Hey, here's one nobody thought of! Why don't we let the market determine our prices. You SELLERS know what I'm talking about--GOOD OL' SUPPLY AND DEMAND.
Oh, I forgot, back to the BUYER. Must remember, we would not exist if there were no buyers. That's a scary thought. Now, it gets interesting. He gets mad. Oh well. Spews accusations and threats. I respond with, I decline. Done, I thought? Wrong. He has sent e-mails like this five times, each on a differing item. Each time it has gone the course as above. What fun. What part of no is not being understood?

Which brings me to another question.
Why is it that the buyer is ALWAYS the one who isn't trusted. When I buy something, it's up to me to get the money to the seller BEFORE he'll send me the item. If it has to be returned, the seller has to get the item back BEFORE he'll return my money. Why is that? I'm supposed to trust him both ways but he won't trust me either way.

Well, offers are OK by me and you can always say no. But offering on items being auctioned is corrupt. Bid or don't bid.

many of these Bidders are full of it and dont take this serious enough
IMO[:(!].
In some cases i would accept an "offer" or a "Trade" on an item but ONLY if the buyer hits the "Buy it now" feature and his feedback must be credible.I would NEVER sell off the site thats asking for trouble
