Basically, this proves that you shouldn't be trading hardware or anything else for that matter. I've bought and sold a bunch of stuff locally and I've come across a few guys like you....who can't seem to make their minds up. A good trader knows what he is getting into and does not change the price OR cancel the deal after confirmation!

Grow up.

If this guy wanted to teach you a lesson, he could take you to small claims court for compenstation.

Compensation for what? I'm sorry for the guy and I look for no sympathy here as I know from experience that I won't find it. Maybe I should ask, what is the best way to assist him? I told him I'm canceling the deal a few hours later *we did deal at 2AM Tuesday night, or if technical Wednesday morning, than I told him Wednesday noon that I'm pulling out*. I'm a little sceptical that he managed to sell his computer parts to his friend, and than his friend sold it elsewhere in just a few hours. I feel bad (for 100th time). Do I deserve negative heatware? The deal was canceled, before it begun, wasn't it?

I'm not a bad trader, this one gave me difficulty as how I managed it. I did a crappy job but I did learn. I've been in a few trades here and the sellers pulled out (I have the guts to mention it about myself and I become evil).

Compensation ..... he does not deserve. After all ... in theory, you have cost him nothing. However, what he does deserve is those parts. You know it, I know it. Also, whether you are skeptical about his ability to get rid of his parts so quickly is irrelevant. If he has 10 warehouses full of parts, he still has a right to get the ones you promised him. Because that's exactly what you did. You and he had a verbal contract my friend.

Do you deserve negative heatware? .... I'd say yes unfortunately. Simply due to the fact that you are having such a hard time deciding what to do in a situation where common morales should take over.
The deal was canceled, before it begun, wasn't it? Hell no .... the deal was cancelled after it was made (you did make an agreement right? Such as:

Buyer: I'll give you $X for this, this and this.
You: Ok, I'l meet you Wednesday.

See? The negotiating (dealing) was done. Give the man his parts.

 

[Passions]

I had a simliar situation where a buyer was really pissed and I was about to back out. I lived upto my word and sold it to him. It makes you feel better as a man living upto your word, in the end. Go and sell it, you made a mistake, take care of it.

Ok, is neffing allowed here at all in OT? [drool]My 1000th post[/drool] is coming up and if I made up this story at 1000th post it wouldn't work out as many of you would suspect it .

If it's not allowed than please PM me and I'll erase it hehe.

(I did not s*rew anyone over a deal like that, would never, ever do so, I'm a good trader )

 

[Nemesis77]

Tell him your situation and say that you would not prefer to sell the rig, but you will do so if the buyer requests it. If the buyer agrees to let you off the hook, then do it. But if he still wants to buy the rig, you will honor your word and sell it to him.

If you can't trust mans word, what can you trust?

I gotta agree. You have nothing, if not your word.

 

[Muadib]

I agree with the mob. If you had second thoughts, why the hell did you sell it in the first place?

 

[gopunk]

vfaa.... you come in here and ask us what you should do, then when we tell you, you argue with us. why even come here at all? it sounds like you've already made up your mind not to honor your word.

i think it is pretty dishonorable to back out like that... you should suck it up and take the loss. you don't always win. but what can i say... you should be making that decision because you know it's the right thing to do, not because everybody else tells you it is.

2 days ago I agreed to sell a CPU + mobo + RAM to a guy localy for the craziest, lowest possible price you could've ever imagined (based on th eparts). The thing is, we were set to meet on Wednesday but I changed my mind. I called the deal off as I decided to keep my stuff. Problem is he sold his PC components to a friend and now he's out of his main rig. I apologized and gave my reason for canceling the deal yet he's very p*ssed (I would be too). I didn't mean to do it but I changed my mind before he came to my house and pick it up.

What should I do?

Sell the stuff obviously. You know that as well as I do. You made a deal and backed out for no good reason other than "oops". You owe it to him now IMO to sell at the initially agreed upon price. Don't be a freaking cheap ass. Have some principles.

And yes of course I'd do that for $250. Were you smoking up or on pain killers when you made the deal? Unless a gun was to your head go with what you agreed upon. To do otherwise is like admitting your word and sense of pride is worth less than $250. Enough money will compromise a lot of people's principles, but that's a very low sales price you've got there.

Then why did you agree to sell it in the first place?

Same here.
Backing out on deal = suck

Be prepared to get some negative heat from the person.

(I did not s*rew anyone over a deal like that, would never, ever do so, I'm a good trader )

Sure

I didn't want bad to happen as I am sorry for this and I came here for advice. If I'm under pressure I will sell it to make good. Guys, I'm honest. I know that by posting this nobody here would understand me and I'd jsut lose respect. On top of that nobody is giving me any support. I truly feel sorry for the guy but I had changed my mind. He didn't tell me that he sold his components to a friend and this deal with me is a must. It's easy to say I'm an @$$hole but if it were your $250, would you forgive yourself?

I'd stick to the agreement. I gave my word I would sell the components for the agreed upon price. Forgiving myself has nothing to do with keeping my word.

Yes, I may not see eye to eye with notfred most of the time... I agree with him on this one.
