Oh my GOD dude! That is easily the most epic haul I have ever seen or heard of. I can't remember being this jealous in my life!

That is awesome dude, congrats!. I wouldn't beat yourself up over this. You didn't hose the other guy. It wasn't your call. As a seller, it was her right to sell to the highest bidder and to sell whoever she wanted you. All you did was make an offer. Nothing wrong with that. Like you said, the other guy could cry foul but would he have told her how much the stuff was worth if it was just him being able to pay the $150? I don't think so.
Just relax and enjoy your awesome haul |

Kinda harsh, I would have had a hard time sleeping having done this. Perphaps if she had called him and said "He says he will pay $100 more, would you like to make a counter offer?" That would have been OK....

In this world, you gotta do what you gotta do. And you did it!
You did nothing wrong, the seller did and you took advantage of it, I would have done the exact same thing (and so would 100% of every one else here, even the people who say they wouldn't....they would).

He never said "I am for sure buying it"... I had an appointment for 11:30 to look at what he didn't get at 11.. then there were people after me in line for Appointments!!! so I know that he never told her that he was for sure buying. I knew about the distance after the fact... actually, I KNOW I did nothing wrong because all I did was tell her that I was for sure going to buy if he didn't... no matter what the condition. The only thing that I was wrong on is telling here I was for sure going to buy not knowing if it was the real deal... or that gi joe aircraft toy that came out latter (hot wheels looking thing with a bunch of little planes on it). I have fallen for that before. the post was vague and I had no idea until after the fact what they discussed... I didn't know any of it. I also email all of the garage sale people to ask if I can buy their left overs after the collectors pick through it. She didn't make the guy drive here... she told him she got a better offer, correct me if I'm wrong... but isn't that capitalism? Someone bids 10,000 more on your house... are you going to sell the people looking at it because they said they were interested in it? I was willing to haggle with her... but she jumped at it. His fault for not outbidding me as far as I'm concerned. It was all the money I had too. ANYWAY... I just told her for sure and I would pay 100 more for all she had... I didn't even know that the guy even cared until after the sale was made, and she liked the idea of me telling her that i was for sure coming to clear out her garage FOR SURE WITH CASH.
Lol, stop trying to justify your theft of his sale, so what if you got the stuff? What's with people and their morals nowadays? We used to ease our consciousnesses with sticks and rocks to the head, much less stressful than trying to justify things. Whoever has the bigger stick is right, lol |

hey the seller did what she needed to do...i mean she was needing the cash,,,,she did nothing wrong in my oppinion...if i was selling a boxed uss flagg for say 900.00 and someone who says i will come to check it out but it would be a few hours,,,and then another person said i can be there in 10 min and give me 1,000 for it or even if the person says hey all i got is 700.00 is that cool? i would come out on top either way
cause 700.00 is better then 0 dollars then take a chance and the seller not show up or decide not to take it,,,,its a gamble sure but i will take favorable odds and make sometheing then take perfect odds and make nothing MONEY TALKS BS WALKS and if i'm hurting for cash then i go for it,,,,so i am glad you made your score,,,,,the lady got what she wanted.... |

he put the maggot in the fish tank........ what will they think of next?!?!
dude, obviously the seller didnt give a rats ass who got it as long as it was gone and she had some loot for the rent! this other jamoke slept on it and should have told her "im comin with the loot, i want it all regardless." there isnt a joe collector new or old, that wouldnt know what she had when she said space shuttle and Air Craft Carrier. shit, id have brought my kid over for the weekend and made him clean up the garage for her just for her selling me the stuff! no foul on your part, or hers for that matter.

I think it was ok. If the other guy had said I definitly will buy it and there at 11am and she agreed then yeah it would have been harsh
