Not sure which forum but I can't tell you how many times I hold an item for a definite buy only to hear on day of payment "sorry family emergency can't buy."
I'm sure there are such reasons but it has happened too many times for me to think it happens that often. Rant over apologies if wrong forum

That's why I never hold anything. Whoever is able to pay first gets the stuff.

Family emergency is code for "My wife found out I was about to spend money on toys and put a stop to it.". Just let them save face and put it behind you.

I love the "something has come up and I need the money" excuse too. Car problems, broken pipe in the house, girlfriend needs an abortion cause I'm not ready to be a daddy. Love those too.

I've never heard the abortion one before. It doesn't really gain the sympathy that I suspect they're after.

It's kind of a genius excuse really. They probably figure the seller would think no one in their right mind would want to use an excuse like that unless it were true.

I made the abortion one up. Attempt at humor = failed.

Yeah, never cared much for the family emergency excuse
myself. Not that family emergencies don't happen of course. You almost always find that family emergencies frequent guys with bad reps...of course their home life may be so incredibly unstable that they should probably consider quitting the collecting game.
