cannibal Posted October 30, 2018 Posted October 30, 2018 Jocklaw offers a W2W shiraz entry for R2000 and after you dibs it he start pushing it...pretending you were not the first one!
Shebeen Posted October 30, 2018 Posted October 30, 2018 I'm guessing R3k for a partner entry is still a bargain, but it's a bit of a d!ck move to shift the goalposts. well rating his profile on classifieds is probably the best way to deal with this behaviour
DieselnDust Posted October 30, 2018 Posted October 30, 2018 So he opened an anonymous bidding process...Nice one
Pure Savage Posted October 30, 2018 Posted October 30, 2018 Best thing to do is create a thread so people know that its not lekker to start a secret auction.
Eldron Posted October 30, 2018 Posted October 30, 2018 At R2k I'm guessing his phone lit up like a Christmas tree!
Chingy182 Posted October 30, 2018 Posted October 30, 2018 At R2k I'm guessing his phone lit up like a Christmas tree!My thoughts exactly.
Vetseun Posted October 30, 2018 Posted October 30, 2018 Tell him to take his entry and shove it up his ass.Not cool to advertise then change your tune
dev null Posted October 30, 2018 Posted October 30, 2018 The person is probably an estate agent. Well known tactic by them. Agent tried that tactic many years ago when I wanted to buy a home I saw. Asked her to bring the Offer To Purchase so that I could sign it. Agent pitched and said the seller wanted R40k more. I told her to tell the seller that I was not interested anymore. I suspect she told them that she is gonna push me for more. Sorry, but this is very unethical. Your price is your price. This is not an auction.

Once upon a time at band camp, sorry the Hub, someone was advertising a proride, no takers so I put in an offer which was accepted. The night before the meeting to do the exchange the seller messaged me saying that he had received a better offer and could I match it. Was only a R100 more - seller did not seem to realise that for R100 he sold his integrity. I probably should have pointed that out to him but to be honest if he didn't get it in the first instance I doubt he would have understood.
Craai Posted October 30, 2018 Posted October 30, 2018 BTW OP, Maybe consider removing phone number from posted image (Also your email address sounds dodgy as hell )
Shebeen Posted October 30, 2018 Posted October 30, 2018 Wait so according to the messages the price went from R2000 to 3? I suppose what you should have done is tell him you accept it.Then pay in R3 to his bank. Then once he realises this, he has lost all the time to sell it.Then offer him R1997, take it or leave it. Either way, he's taken a srious haircut pulling out so late. eina. (I see he has booked accom going for more!)
