Internet buying and selling rules

[Natural Light Kid]

I buy and sell things quite a bit. Small things to big things. Today a lot of "negotiating" is done via text. I have a something for sale right now that I do not really need to sale at all. Guy texted asking if I would take $xx. I asked if he was offering me $xx. He said yes and I agreed to accept his offer. Today I texted him to see when he is going to come get it. He text back saying he's changed his mind. It's real easy for people to renig when texting is the form of communication. It's just like with posting on this site, there's no consequences for what you say on the internet unlike when you're face-to-face. In conclusion to my rant, please do not make an offer that you are not ready to back up. If you have any doubt, simply don't make the offer. Same goes for the seller. Do not accept an offer then accept a "better" one in the meantime. Have some dignity people.
