Tried to PM you but your inbox is full. I will take it if it is still available.

I am sure I am breaking some rules here, but I really don't care. Was posted for sale for 350. I tried to PM. Mailbox was full. I posted on here that the mailbox was full and I would take it. Received no reply from the seller, but clicking on his name shows he was engaged in a conversation 7 minutes ago, so I know he saw my agreement to buy what he had listed. And, the good part, the price is now 500. Doesn't this site prohibit auctions? If you want to sell something, and you have a price, sell it when someone agrees to your price. If you don't know what your part is worth, we have a what's it worth section now. If you just want to ignore people who agree to buy your parts, and keep raising your price until interest drops, maybe you should go to somewhere else where they have less ethical business practices.
Just my opinion.

P.S. I no longer am willing to buy anything from Dalis, so if I was on a bidding war list, I am out.

Ethics is a virtue that too many people do not have.

so I got a pm from another member telling me my price was too low? unethical? so I corrected my price. I had no pm from anyone at the time I did that. sorry if it affected you but I cant't afford to give my stuff away! it is what it is! so feel free to not buy from me ever, I will survive.

Better $350 today, than hanging on to it until 2035 for $500.

You had no PM because your mailbox was full. I notified you of that in your ad so that you would know. And to make it more clear, I used the obscure terminology "I will take it". As I said in my earlier post, checking your activity, you were conversing with somebody on the forum which showed that you cleared out your inbox (no thanks necessary for the notification), and by your statement above, the conversation was about your parts being underpriced. You didn't "correct" anything. You listed it for a price, I said I would take it. You were contacted by someone that told you you could do better, so you ignored my post, and raised your price. You also continued to ignore my post throughout this boondoggle. Unethical? In this instance, yes. I am sure you will survive. I don't wish any ill will upon you. We were probably just raised with a different set of values.

You don't change a price after you post it - only if you made an error. Posting too low of a price is not an error; it's called a good deal.

Not cool to change a price after you've written and posted your ad. You had time to decide what you wanted to get for your air cleaner before you posted it for sale. Not cool at all. Shame to you.

Ethics is now out of fashion.

so now i am a liar? i posted on another site and that is where i was informed. so i need to take a loss to prove my values? it was an innocent action and i did not see your answer till after i changed the listing. you guys are judging me without knowing my position.

Agree......if you have something to sell - make sure your mailbox is close to empty !
