Chris- The whole point of offering for sale to the list is to make parts
available. I tendered an offer to sale, you offered a price. Nothing of
value has been exchanged, ie: no MO or check.
I am not a parts house, and am selling excess parts to fund my car
restoration. Highest offer closes the sale. The $50 difference is 1/3 of the
price you offered... I have given you the opportunity to at least match that
offer, and will hold that until Monday at 12:00.
Its not like you or someone sent money for a part, and the part never
shipped... you were made aware of the higher price, and offered to match...
Your choice...
I've been away from email with work & family.

Subject: Empi wheels and list advertising problem
I have a dilemma involving a purchase from a listmember and am asking for
advice/solutions. I apologize in advance for going public with this
problem, but I feel it is important as the items in question were first
advertised to this list.
I recently agreed to buy a pair of Empi Wheels from Lee Ehinger. The price
was agreed upon by both of us. Shortly after this, I received an email
stating that he got higher offers on the wheels (not much higher, we're
talking $50 here) and if I still wanted them, I would have to beat the other
offers. No maoney was exchanged.
I maintain that once a price is agreed upon, the deal is closed and the
price shouldn't be raised. If you want the highest bid, then you should use
eBay.
A side note: Before getting the email about the price increase, I commited
to buy another pair of Empi wheels to complete the set. If someone on the
list has already bought Lee's pair, please contact me if you are interested
in this pair as they do me no good.
Chris Robertson
