The $59 Panasonic X300 seller
My dear fellow forummer, your views please.
On 19 February 2005 at 2212hrs, subject posted an advert attached
with email address, handphone number and sighed it's genuinity to
ensure other fellow forummer it's sincerity of sell it's 4days old
Panasonic X300 for $59.
But 21mins after it's posting, subject claimed that he/she got an
offer of $75 but willing to part with it at $80.($21 more than it's
first intended selling price)
(would you pay $4 for a cheeseburger, when the price list stated
only $2.50?)
However both parties agreed to the new requested price. And agreed
to meet up on Tuesday for the transaction.
Seller 2306hrs sms was replied only 14minutes later as buyer was
engaged on the other line apologized and reply to the seller at
2320hrs. In between that 14minutes, at about 2315 a female forummer
posted a reply and claimed that she had sold hers sometime in
Nov'04 to a school boy for about $260.
Buyer's 2320hrs sms was then not replied, so does to his 2 other
subsequent sms at 2321hrs and 2330hrs.
On 20/02/05 at 1239hrs buyer sent another sms to confirmed the
location. And was only replied at 1320hrs (41minutes later) and
said that he/she had GIVEN the phone to it's cousin. (wow.. it was
like ... just 12hrs ago he/she was trying so hard to sell it more
then it first projected price....and now had it given away???
Well....)
Ref to seller's 1342hrs sms, well we are not running a business
company whereby official documents are print and sign by both
parties. And a verbal vocal agreement between 2 parties may carries
the lightest weight but fortunately I did save my incoming and
outgoing sms-es which would be a valid text evident in the name of
law as it includes the date, time and sender's hp number.

2233hrs Hi, interested in your X300. Is it still available?
2243hrs Yes it still is. But I have an offer for 75 dollars. Am
willing to part with it
for 80.
2248hrs Wow...I tot it was $59.....
2253hrs I know. Sorry but I have a higher bidder. Its still an
excellent offer though.
2253hrs Ok lah $80 deal. See you on Tuesday can?
2259hrs Tues after 530pm is good. Where would you like to
meet?
2300hrs I'm working in town, is it alright for you?
2306hrs Yeah. No problem. McDonald's Wisma Atria at 620pm good for
you?
2320hrs Sorry, was on the line. Prefer Clarke Quay or Chinatown
area and if
possible after 730pm.
2321hrs Sorry I just hate to drive to Orchard Road at that
timing.
2330hrs So how? Is it alright for you?

1239hrs Hi, so is Tuesday after 730pm ok with you?
1320hrs Sorry. I have given the phone to my cousin. Sorry for all
the to-and-froing
1330hrs You named your price and I agreed. Meaning the deal is
sealed.
The day and the date is confirmed only waiting for your
confirmation where
to transact.
1335hrs Naturally I believe you must have sold it to someone else.
Which does not
make you sounds like a man of words. If you wish to push a higher
price
just say so.
1342hrs It is not a legally binding deal till exchange of cash at
point of sale. As
such you nor I are bound. Have given the phone away to a relative
to be
relieved of the inundation of msgs and incessant phone calls. Once
again
sorry and on hard feeling.
1353hrs Your sincerity and genuinity as posted and claimed by you
is questionable.
You are obviously not a man of word.
1354hrs And you only stop replying to my sms only when she(a female
forummer)
posted saying that she sold her's at $200+
No reply there after..........
