When is something sold?

People always say they will come and buy things and never do, I have it all the time. The first person to pay buys it in my opinion. If man A really wanted it he should have come and paid sooner. The only thing I would say is you should give people enough notice that you have sold it so that they don't make a wasted trip.
But in this case man A rang at 9am and said he'd be there lunch time, we don't know how far he had to travel or what he may have needed to get sorted before he left, it's quite probable that he couldn't have got there sooner.

I sold my old fourtrak, advertised it and had a few enquiries, first person said too dear, next said too dear, third was very interested and coming to see it the next night, phone rang about 9 pm, someone local and could he come and see it, he was there ten minutes later, he walked around it and wrote out a cheque, next day second person rings back and said he wants it, he was rather annoyed when Mandy told him it was already sold, but not my fault, he had same chance as anyone else, I rang the other person who was wanting to see it and let him know it was sold,

This is why I love auctions , if you want it you be there and bid and hammer falls and everyone knows where they stand

No they don't i bid on something and was the final bidder when i came to pay it had been written down to someone else! Auctioneer wouldn't admit he was wrong as his terms say he's always right......i have got even and will get one over him again.

Ok the auctioneers can fudge up but at least you don't get the bitching and somebody says it's too dear or I would have given another 100 quid
