I know this subject has been posted about a thousand times, but I just need a place to vent.
Basically, I saw a cheap NeoGeo machine on the local craigslist. (I've been looking for a NeoGeo as well, so this seemed perfect.) So I called up the seller and arranged a time to come pick it up. Just before I was going to leave to pick the game up, I called the seller to make sure we were going through with the deal.
Then he told me that a number of people offered more money for the game than I did. If I still wanted the game, I would have to increase the price.
That really pisses me off. After we had already agreed on a price and time to pick the game up, the guy has the nerve to entertain other offers. Plus, the other buyers who offered to buy it even after arrangements were made are even worse. I'm no tool and I'm not going to play this stupid bidding war.
Anyways, sorry about the rant. It really is true that you can never get too excited about a new game until it is in your truck and the cash has been handed over. How often do you guys have to deal with situations like this?
