Basic story is that he and I agreed upon my purchase of his item (the UK300 lights). It was pretty much all set up and then he got an offer for $500 including shipping from another person and went back on our deal.
Shrieden, I understand that you need money...hell everyone needs money but backing out on a deal isn't very good in my book. Whenever I sell things...once I agree to sell it to a person I don't go back on it even when someone PMs me (before the transaction is complete) and offers more.
It should be noted that he gave me a chance to offer more money but I was pretty much unwilling to move from the agreed upon and publicly posted price.
Well anyways, I guess it's just a difference of morals as it was a really large offer that the other person gave him and some people may go his way as well.

on a sidenote, i don't want to take sides and i'm not going to, however, i do also see both sides to this. anytime 2 people are doing a transaction involving money or trade, it becomes business between the two. now, i have many business friends and they've told me that in business, you have no friends (makes me think twice dealing with them). basically, in order to get what you want or benefit from anything in business, you have to step on toes to get there. now, some people (not me) can do that, which is why they are successful with not too many friends. it's a dog eat dog world out there and especially in business. i've learned that.
in this deal, although there was a verbal agreement, still no money was paid and the seller took the better offered deal, which is uncool on the personal level, and something that you wouldn't do to friends and stuff, but in terms of business and i guess at the time, it was an attempt to gain an advantage, which in this case was money.
if you look at it on the other side of the coin, the advantage on the buyer was that they saw an opportunity (advantage) on a cheap priced quality product and an attempt to gain was taken. just my 2 cents.

Do I feel like crap for screwing him out of the lights? Of course I do, but unfortunately in today's rough world money is what makes thing move, and a $300 price increase is something I could not ignore. It is deffo not like I screwed you out of your money by either giving you faulty items or something like that. Like I told Blake in the PM, I don't like being an ******* or even seeming like one, but that was a deal I could not pass up.
