<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lizjewel, post: 2609864, member: 13874&quot;]When someone wants to &quot;beat&quot; another guy&#039;s agreed sale price on a Hold, that someone will NEVER do biz with me. To try to &quot;steal&quot; something by offering more when a seller has promised to Hold it for an earlier customer is&nbsp;&nbsp; dishonest. </p><p><br /></p><p>Even if the earlier customer never returns to complete the purchase, I still would not regret turning down a late comers&#039; &quot;stealing&quot; offer. But that&#039;s me. </p><p><br /></p><p>Some of you seasoned fleam bargainers&nbsp; obviously look at this as a fair game and that the seller should &quot;play along&quot;. I don&#039;t.</p><p><br /></p><p>There could be a gazillion reasons why something that was available suddenly isn&#039;t, to me, you, or anyone else. </p><p><br /></p><p>To imagine there are <i>s-xist </i>or any other <i>-ist </i>reasons is being paranaoid even if it could be the case in some instances. </p><p><br /></p><p>If something is not to be had, that&#039;s that. </p><p><br /></p><p>Moving on, it was <i>not meant to be</i>!</p><p><br /></p><p>In that respect I trust <i>The Fates</i> here. When something was &quot;not meant to be&quot; it was often for a very good reason why <i>I</i> shouldn&#039;t have&nbsp; it, sometimes discovered later. </p><p><br /></p><p>Conversely, had I forced the outcome to my advantage, perhaps at the expense of someone else, I lived to regret it.</p><p><br /></p><p><i>The Fates</i> [or call them what you will; <i>inner voices</i> perhaps] warn us, protect us from mistakes if we let them. We haven&#039;t lost or&nbsp; <i>missed</i> anything and never need to place blame on sellers or anyone else. </p><p><br /></p><p>Some things we&#039;re meant to own have our &quot;name&quot; on them. <i>Better is always coming.</i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
