Hi there and hopefully someone from Clubsnap Admin or Moderator too. I have a situation here that i want to understand a bit better and know the interpretation of the rules exactly.
Say a person puts an item up for sale in B&S at a price and leaves his handphone number behind in the thread too. However, no indication has been given in the thread whether he prefers offers via SMS or that he cannot check the thread regularly to update on offers.
Now say person X posts in his thread within 30minutes of his posting his item and offers him the selling price. Deal done? Logical ain't it?? :dunno:
However, upon contacting the seller later he mentions that he has received an offer by SMS which he has agreed to sell the item to that person who sent the SMS. :cry:
Fact #1 - SMS came later than offer on his B&S post. Except that he has not seen his thread and the offer on the thread. This is all happening in a few hours only and not even days apart. Person who posted first did have access to a handphone so instead he used the primary medium which is the B&S on CS to post his offer & interest to buy the item. This should take clear priority over other contact points like email, sms etc.
Fact #2 - This is CS, an honorable, friendly, trustworthy internet forum. Your item is put for sale on B&S, and sellers use this facility to change, upgrade, sell, buy etc etc new equipment so we should first respect this forum as the primary one. Should it not be then that the first post on sellers B&S get priority of purchase if all things standing the same like price etc. Although seller has committed to SMS offer, he should inform the person who sent the SMS that there was a prior offer on his B&S which he had not seen when the SMS confirmation to the SMS offer was given?
Over to friends and admin and mod for your esteemed opinions please....
Thanks and have a nice day everyone! :thumbsup:
