Reneging on a deal! geez i hate that!

Hey RLI - sounds like you've had a rough run! Luckily I have sold a bit on ebay and bought a bit too - always use Paypal for my transactions (buying or selling) because it covers you. There'll always be some unscrupulous bugger out there trying to make a quick buck but I agree it seems to be getting more and more common unfortunately. Gone are the days where your handshake is your word for a lot of people - however there are still some of us out there where your word is stronger than a contract.

There's probably as many theories as to why society is the way it is as there are instances of this crap happening.

Thankfully though there are plenty of people out there that still adhere to good old fashioned manners and mutual respect for people, whether in social or business settings. This forum is testament to that.

I've always liked a quote from a movie from a few years ago "be excellent to each other".

Best kitted out Patrol ever there RLI :)

There are no friends in business.......... I got offered a 4wheeler worth about $20,000 for $12,000 and got told I could take it and pay later..... I said sorry mate I do not want to go down that path, you will sell it in no time for someone who has the ready cash.

PS, I thought it was the Aussie way, that if you agreed on a price that was it. Not to bull-shite and fail to turn up to purchase the goods or fail to sell you the goods promised!

If your talkin maybe egay selling,happens all the time
As for other things,i dont like to be stuffed around,i know life can turn for the worst,and im pritty flexible really
So if a deal was done and you rang me (another thing people have forgot how to do ) and told me something happened and youll be another week,or youll let me know then,no probs
Its all the toolbags who think people will wait while they budget $1 a fortnite from their dole paymenst, then 12 months later ,"Still got the bits maaaate"
Those people annoy me
People who dont have the complete amount,turn up haggle a price,and you think a deal will be done, then they pull out $100,"Yeah heres a deposit ,pick it up in month "
Those people annoy me
Wasting time getting freight costs,let the buyer know,then a week or more later , "Nah mate bought elsewhere,last week "
Those people annoy me

Other than that,yeah no isues i can see .......
