Very true.  It has happened to me SO many times (in fact I have 3 people I'm
waiting to hear from as I write this).  I don't mind if people go with
someone else's offers, but at least have the decency to let me know about it
so that I can move on and try to sell to some of my lower offers.

>if you promised to a deal, then you keep it.  don't go back on your word.

I agree.  What's so hard about keeping to a promised deal?  What ticks me
off is how it appears I have made an agreement with someone and they back
out.  By this time, after I've told my lower offers, they have dropped out
of the auction, and now I have no offers.  So, I have to bug everyone on the
Net again with a duplicate post that I'm selling something.  I'm quite sure
people are tired of reading that I have "xx" for sale and are probably
thinking "jeez, doesn't this guy have a clue?  He posts this thing so many
times!  Can't he see that no one wants it?"
