This is why you need to buy on a credit card ( 55 days lee-way ) so that the deal is cut-n-dried.
If you were going to buy it out-right in 30 days anyway you should have just bought it.
There's no sentiment in business . In the world of credit cards , I've been asked to buy it
over the phone , if I wanted it , and that's been fine. Your procedure was commercial mess tbh ..........
You are correct about credit being the logical answer, but your attack on me and "MY" procedure was based on the incorrect assumption that I had not considered credit.
The price for the guitar was a cash-only price. I offered to use credit, but the owner would not accept that without raising the price of the guitar considerably. The owners explanation was that he was intending it to be a local sale, and by his actions it is clear he wanted to promote a feeling of good will toward his business by selling it so cheaply within the community, which he is certainly entitled to do. My only gripe is that he specifically told me that getting him the deposit in cash the next day was acceptable, and that the guitar would be put on hold for me. He clearly did not anticipate the overwhelming interest in the guitar that ensued after he and I spoke.
Perhaps if you had understood the facts your post would have been unnecessary, but everyone is entitled to voice their opinion.
While I am disappointed in the loss of what I thought was a sale, I can't complain too much as I have a new 2012 GSR Starfire VI on order. And yes, ArchtopAnimal, the deposit was made immediately through Paypal because the dealer approved it
