I Also Had a Deal "Busted" / Shall We "Out" the Seller?
In Response To: Turns out I don't have it. ()

I also had a "bargain" purchase interfered with / busted by prospective seller last week. It was a fixed price listing on Chrono24, and I was the first to agree to purchase the watch . . . then he sold it to someone else who "came into his store" . . . I mean, how likely is that???

I usually try to stick to the positive side of this hobby, but may do a posting outing the dealer who broke our agreement.

Folks, it's still the "Wild West" out there, and sometimes it's every man for himself (with little regard for honor or ethics)!!

: Seller just e-mailed to inform me that "there's been an
: issue" and "that's all I can tell you."

: Can't wait to see who bought it from under me.
