- Very true. It has happened to me SO many times (in fact I have 3 people I'm
- waiting to hear from as I write this). I don't mind if people go with
- someone else's offers, but at least have the decency to let me know about it
- so that I can move on and try to sell to some of my lower offers.

- I agree. What's so hard about keeping to a promised deal? What ticks me
- off is how it appears I have made an agreement with someone and they back
- out. By this time, after I've told my lower offers, they have dropped out
- of the auction, and now I have no offers. So, I have to bug everyone on the
- Net again with a duplicate post that I'm selling something. I'm quite sure
- people are tired of reading that I have "xx" for sale and are probably
- thinking "jeez, doesn't this guy have a clue? He posts this thing so many
- times! Can't he see that no one wants it?"
