To all,
Overall, I have had very good experiences with Craig’s List, as a buyer and a seller. I do have a question about an experience I had on CL yesterday.
An item was posted Thursday (yesterday) for $60 and I offered $50. I received an email in response that said “OK, you’ve got a deal.” I immediately communicated that I could pick it up Friday (today) afternoon. I received the following message 2 hours later “Sorry but they sold this afternoon for full price.”
Am I out of touch with what is appropriate CL protocol or am I justified in being a little miffed at the callous treatment of the “contract” that the email confirmed?
I would be very interested in other opinions regarding their expectations and/or experiences with CL.
Regards,
Matt
