but I do thing that any offer for purchase is a private matter and should be done in privat not posted for everyone to see. it is non of anyones business on what you sell something or buy something for.

I have to agree with you on that. I have bought a number of items from people on this forum and have always PM'd them. I don't want to put fellow members on the spot for everyone to see by haggeling in a public forum.

I agree!

What gets me is offering something for sale.. getting a zillion-12 emails and PM's from someone, the deal is done. You put the stuff on hold...
THEN you wait, and wait, and wait for payment. Then poof.

easy.. nothing is on hold untill you have the money.. make that clear and there will be no misconceptions. or put a reasonable deadline inplace. say I will hold it for 3 days then it is forsale again. we are our own worst enemy as we always want to look for the best in people.

I've had people offer me less than half on big ticket items that I've already posted for less than half of what I payed for them. Can't blame them for trying and they can't blame for saying no. That's just how it goes.

yup its all in the perspective of the people involved.. personaly for me a standard tank used is worth about 1 buck a gal, but custom tanks are a different critter.. but that is not including stands or anything.. so if I see some one listing a 180 for 250 I may try to see if they will take 200 it all depends on how bad you want something.. if they say no, no biggie.
