Ray, The way I see it is that this is free enterprise at its finest. One of the fundemental elements of bartering is recognizing who needs to make the deal most. Every deal is not for everyone. If you are looking for an item, you either pay according to your need or to the sellers need. If the seller really doesn"t need to sell his item, then he has the upper hand in that he is in a position to hold out until he gets his price. If you as a buyer really don"t need an item, you can in turn hold out until that item or a similar item is available at a lower price. A person submitting an ad is under no obligation to reveal his low ball price. Indeed he has every right to hold out for the best offer. Conversly, you as a buyer, have no obligation to offer one penny more than you think an item is worth to you. A seller may advertise an item and then pull the ad without selling. It is his perogative. YOu in turn have no obligation to even answer the ad in the first place if you think it is a game you don"t feel comfortable getting into. The only time any seller has any obligation to any buyer is if a contract has been agreed upon, money changed hands, warrantys implied or contracted. But never is a seller required to play by your rules prior to any negotiations, not are you under any similar requirements. And yes, if you don"t like his deal, you can go elsewhere. Ultimately if he drives too hard of a bargain, he makes no sale. It is simply who is willing to compromise and who isnt.
