Thanks keyboardlover. I think I was partly to blame as well though since I was holding the item while buyers were trying to decide if they really wanted the item. Next time I sell on here, I'm just going to take the best offer I get by a pre-set date, like I'm doing now, instead of working through individual offers one by one (or I'll use eBay and post a link on here).
You should only hold up while the best bid is being pondered. Next time you get a higher bid, you
take it! (Jordan Chase from Dexter, anyone?)
I reconsidered immediately when I heard that the board was being held for my lower bid—I didn't want you to feel gyp'd by me just because I asked first, when there were other people who could pay more. Being the nice guy that I sometimes feel like being, I excused myself from the table.
I think you are a stand-up guy for reserving it for me (and for owning a otaku Filco), so now I will feel bad if the delay causes you to lose any sale you might have snagged. Anyway, I hope something falls through for this board. Always happy to see people spreading the Filco love.
