Let’s work through this line by line to avoid any confusion.
1. I never said 3400 was a low ball on 3500. I’d consider that a very good offer. I simply said I’d previously had a low ball offer on a watch I was selling.
2. I obviously don’t know what his asking price, best price and your offer were as you haven’t divulged that information. I was simply using those figures as examples in lieu of the actual figures.
3. My point around the extra 100 is you seem to be mad at him for not accepting 100 less. He could levy the same at you, why not pay 100 more. I’m not saying either is right, but it depends on your perspective and whether you’re the buyer or seller.
4. Again, please tel me where I said it was good to ignore someone for a day. I haven’t said that, so don’t imply I have. I generally don’t like “mulling things over/let me think about it” as it leads to situations like this. Accept or reject an offer but do so in a timely manner.
So, details aside, did he accept your offer or not? If not, although there’s clearly issues with ignoring you for a day which isn’t acceptable, if he hadn’t accepted your offer and was still thinking it over, it’s reasonable to sell it to someone else (notwithstanding my comments about thinking it over above). If you had an agreement in place then it’s completely unacceptable to sel to someone else.
So which is it?
