This is why "dibs" does not have any place in this market.
"Dibs" isn't real. It doesn't do anything. It doesn't provide the seller any guarantee that you are actually committing to buy, other than you said the word "dibs" LOL.
Here's the way I operate: Unless you put a deposit down, I will sell it to whoever can pay me. Should the seller refuse immediate cash offers because you said "dibs"? What if you said "un-dibs" later? Seller has zero recourse.
Just my two cents.

I had a similar situation happen to me twice and I was just dumbfounded by it but whatever. I just won't do business with these people in the future.

You've got it backwards.. the saying is "Buyer Beware" Throughout history it's the buyer who ges screwed.. why do you think there is a consumer protection agency and not a seller protection agency.
No the seller said I had dibs... and it doesn't matter he had something for sale I said I'd take it. We had a deal.. and he flaked out.. it's simple. AND I didn't back out I gave my word.. here's where we differ when I say I'll take it I WILL NOT BACK OUT I am good at my word. Unfortunately no one else is... based on your take on this that's the reality that people's word and honor mean nothing.Last edited by valleymotorwerks; 05-03-2012, 10:03 AM.Valley Motorwerks

In the case of immediate cash offers...I don't blame people for not wanting to ship stuff. It's a hassle and takes time most of us probably don't have but I've been in situations where the sellers sold items out from under me and it wasn't a local cash transaction. One guy just backed out completely and basically told me to piss off after a while. I guess he stole my idea of what to do with the part. lol bastards."I'd probably take the E30 M3 in this case just because I love that little car, and how tanky that inline 6 is." - thecj
