I've become very bitter about selling to people from the internet - because that is the biggest reason for the lack of ethics.
50% are price shopping on impulse and make stupid disrespectful offers because they want to see what they can get for 15 seconds of time invested. Rather than arranging a time to meet, view and negotiate.
45% are so flaky or impulsive again they decided that 5 days after making you hold something, and the day before or of, they changed their mind......
5% of the people are good to deal with and now have to suffer the reality of first come first serve.
I pick and choose who I give the benefit of the doubt to. I've met some people from here who I suspected would be wasting my time (opinionated of course). These people plagued the for sale boards trying to buy the lowest end stuff, started randomly calling and texting me - sure enough when I was shutting down my tank, they were there and decided to take he $5 fish where there was enough comments they liked other things......I'm not surprised
Just build good relationships with the few are good to deal with.
