| I believe that I have something to add here.
First off , I do not agree that when there is an Agreement to transact an item (whether it be a heli , a car , a home ..... whatever) , a party is able to back out of it by simply not honouring his end of the bargain by not sending the money.
I also do not agree with the posters above that "as long as you still have the item in hand" , that you have therefore suffered no loss.
These arguments are simplistic.
The nub of the matter is that once there is an offer for sale at X price, and there is a corresponding acceptance of that offer at X price , a deal (an agreement) is made and must therefore be honoured.
Turn the tables around and consider this scenario. You've agree on a price , you send your money , the recipient sends you back your money claiming that he no longer wishes to sell you the item. According to you lot , nothing wrong has occured. You're all dead wrong. The innocent party may have taken steps in the interim period , to his prejudice , in reliance upon your agreement.
First example , you , as the seller has turned down other (perhaps better) offers to buy. Second example, you , as the buyer , has bought other items in anticipation of getting the item that was to have been sold.
That is why , when you agree to pay , pay. Simple. Agree to sell , sell, also simple.
If you do not honour your promises , you have no standing to complain when others put your name up for ridicule.
Cheers. |
