and in this case of selling the lights already, you should have let blake know, who knows, maybe blake might offer more than 500, then you would make money, you got nothing to lose, but on the other hand, this is a private sell, he can do whatever he wants, but if it was me, i would let the other guy offer

Personally, I think it's wrong to agree to a sale with someone and then you back out because you get a higher offer. This isn't Ebay. In the future, when you post something for sale, post up a higher price and then ask for an offer ($500/obo). That way, you can wheel and deal. If not, then too bad. Once you've come to an agreement, then you stick with it. It's as simple as that. It's not about business. You aren't running a business. If someone did that $hit to me, I'd be pissed off too. There are ethics involved in everything you do...even in business.
How would you feel if you decided to buy a car, haggled and agreed to the price and then right before you sign the papers, the salesman comes in and says, "Sorry...we just sold the car cause the other guy really wanted it and he paid what we were asking and had cash"...think about it.

you know, seriously though, i had this happen to me when i wanted something for the stated price and it turned out that the guy sold it to a higher price. i was mad, but as i've known time and time again, it's not sold until cash is in the hand, and that whenever money is involved, everybody gotta eat right. i agree on one thing though sheridan, maybe next time, you should put $500/obo. it's cool that you gave him the opportunity to go higher and match and i think that should not be overlooked. just my 2 cents guys.

I had already learned though..that things happen for a reason...so about a week passes, and I see the same car for sale up north in Fairbanks (I lived in Anchorage)...I call, they beat the price by a few thousand, flew me up from anchorage for free, and lent me a car to fool around with all day...I had a great time visiting college buddies...
Anyhow...it all turned out well...

yeah, it seems like everything now days dealing with money is already considered a business proposal and should be taken as such, as per what i've learned over the past. which is why, once i make an agreement on something, i'll either send payment ASAP or be there as quick as possible to make a transaction. it's just a responsibility (not saying that anybody else isn't responsible enough) but i take upon myself because you'll never know who you're dealing with especially when the greenies are involved.
