hi, imagine u sellin something for a cheap price. u get an even lower offer, u say no, and finally agree to a higher but cheap price for u item. then b4 the deal is done u decide its too cheap, and wont sell it or that price. imagine u are both the seller.... and the buyer. does the seller have the right to change his mind...........ummm wot do u think

if it is under the price of litigation (cost of legal action to enforce), then the seller can do what ever he pleases. possesion is 9/10ths of the law.

The seller can do what ever he or she wants, but if a seller & buyer come to a mutual agreement, then the seller pulls out, well in my eyes , thats a low act,

But is it also not a low act to purchase something that has great value but the seller is unaware of? Morals who needs them? just file them all in the box marked "grey area"

according to my high school economics memory...

if you are a legal owner of something eg hubcap, and you put up for sale with a $5 price sticker on it, that is what you would call "invitation to treat". If man walks up with $5 in his hand and says "I'll take that", then you have the "offer". You can pick up the hubcap and walk away quite legally. If you say "OK" then you have "acceptance". You no longer own a hubcap and he owes you $5.

The buyer could pull out legally if you say its a VW hubcap but its really a datsun hubcap, but thats about it. Regardless of whether the item is a a bargain for the buyer or a lottery for the seller, the legals would be the same.

So if you dont accept the $5 and pull out that makes you a bastard, but acting legally. If you accept the offer of $5 and then pull out, you're an illegal bastard. If he pulls out while you are considering $5 he's a bastard. If you accept and he then pulls out, he is an illegal bastard.

Neither of you will pursue it if either renege especially if it isnt signed on paper, but he/you are still a bastard.

Hmmm, sounds like it's not worth the paper it's not writen on.

target and kmart waste millions of dollars a year accepting refunds and exchanges they dont need to do. They arent obligated to exchange a shirt if it doesnt fit unless the label in it is wrong. All the refunds and exchanges of things people dont want/already have/received 2 of/doesnt fit/wrong colour dont need to be refunded unless you were misled into buying it. They only do it because the other one does it and consumers would always go there if they have the choice. Long queues of bastards everywhere starting boxng day. And those contracts are written on paper.

A verbal agreement is a contract....

The world is full of bastards.......lucky there's a few of us nice guy's left
