Hello,


I often use the Classified posts to sell/buy second hand things. Recently it happend to me (few times) that I call a phone, I speak with a person and make an arrangement on the phone. At the agreed time - nobody comes or nobody calls and when I'm calling back I've been told - "Sorry, I sold it to someone else" or "Sorry, I decidet to keep it".


What is going on with you, people, where is your honesty???

Doha-Chap2022, for example, they could call first, once they know that they will sell, and not to make you wait for them, isn't it?

didn't leave but he died. A white LC ran him over. :(

On a serious note; you're not alone. What is worst: Had a 'buyer' for a friends PC and he said, ok I'll take it and we shook hands. Then he excused himself to withdraw cash from the ATM. But then he called us that he won't take it anymore. He babbled some lame excuse. I noticed though, quiet a few from the area (won't say where as it's tantamount to bashing) he's from have a high percentage of being untrustworthy with their dealings.  Well, we learn from it. :)

simple misplanning it could be as these people get numerous calls and a lot of he time people dont show up.

maybe after you agreed on a certain price another one called and rise by another amount .

once i want to buy a mobile we agreed on the phone on 950 QR.

and we agree to meet at 4 PM < at 4 i called he did not answer many times

after that i sent him an sms told him to not play this silly games with me and he simply answered i am sorry .

It happens Vice Versa, Seller and Buyer.Buyer will reserve the item and surely promised to take within the day and at the end you will never heard anyting from the buyer.if you experience to sell an item here you noticed diffrent attitudes of people positive and negative.It seems the first rule of the sellers here is first come first serve basis.One thing I observed is sometimes seller is selling the items almost the same price from its original price.

It matter who wants to buy and who is selling...

If someone is going to buy "Second hand stuffs" then these kind of answers and excuses are expected...Even you can't blame the guy who has placed the Ad for sale coz the amount of calls keep pouring in is tough to handle...so ready made answers like you said is the left over option...

To buy second hand stuff you have to be fast to grab the oppertunity or go for the NEW stuff which will be easily available and dissapointment will be less...

So be Happy :)

In your phone call did you agree to buy the product and the price. If not, guess there would be many others also calling and someone who visited earlier than you, struck the deal... and if he decided to keep the product then there is actually nothing much to ask except that he could have told you but at times when you are selling you somehow cannot keep track of the callers...

Well, at least some were  decent enough to answer your calls and even said sorry. What more would you have wanted them to do?  this is how business is made. sometimes you win some times you get stood up.
