    Honestly there just needs to be a classifieds feedback option. I honestly can’t fathom why there isn’t. It’s built into the web board and keeps people honest.

      That is BS, if you say you will take it you need to take it. I got confused one day buying some boots, I thought the brand of the boots ran small but in reality they ran large. I told the seller I would take them, a few minutes later I realized my mistake. I PM'd the seller asking him for his phone number so I could call and talk to him about it. I told him that I said I will take them and I want to live up to that but if he had anyone else in line to go ahead and sell it to them but I made it super clear that I would pay for them if it put him in any sort of bind. Seller was a nice guy and told me not to worry about it.

      What is right is right and people need to live up to their word.

        If you post something on here that I want, and its a fair price I will buy it. I could give two chits about some jack wagon trying to get a bargain or some goofy azz trade, I will step in line and offer full pop and buy it. Sorry about your luck.
        Agree. If you're trying to negotiate, then you open yourself to someone with their ducks in a row who will pull the trigger.

                Don't need everyone with access to the classifieds knowing how I spend my money or what types of nice things I've just bought.
                THIS GUY GETS IT.

                And even better- no way for self-righteous hooligans to judge your transaction.

                  Hey I don’t judge your purchases!

Other guys that think they are 2nd or 3rd in line don't know that I got 10 PM's from people wanting to buy it out from under the 1st place guy. I just like to keep all my dealings out in the open. When it gets down to talking about the actual deal, I always do that by phone and not Text or PM. I won't buy from anyone that won't talk to me first.
                    yep, anyone that is not willing to have a brief phone call is not going to be the buyer i'm selling to. it get's real when you get a live voice on the line!

Somebody got butthurt in the classifieds this weekend because the seller sold it to someone that PMed and the guy that posted "I'll take it" didn't get it. If I post "I'll take it", I've committed to it and will buy it regardless. But...I reserve the right to sell to whomever in the hell I want to, and if that hurts "I'll take it" guy's feelings, then tough crap.
                      I agree 100%. If I get a PM stating "I'll Take It" time dated by the system and it comes before an "I'll Take It" thread REPLY time dated after the PM then the 1st time dated whether PM or REPLY is up 1st. I have had it happen to where it moved all the way to the 4th interested person which came with a thread REPLY stating PM SENT.

                        Classified should be a “no reply” forum.
                        If you want something...PM the seller.
                        Until that happens...all the drama will continue

                                I’ve sold 2 items recently and had them back out after saying I will take it and then not paying…. I never used to have that problem… One won’t reply to messages…and is a supporting member… The other only says.. Oh.. I’ll get that payment out to you and never does…. I’ve had good transactions with lots of TBH members for years until now…. If you’re not gonna pay for it don’t say “I’ll take it”
