OK, though why I feel I have to explain myself, I don't know. As some of the thoughts on how people should behave bears no resemblance to how things are in the real world
Actually in this case there were two people who had the same record (one on this site the other not). I was checking the availibility of this one in case the other fell through.
I don't see anything wrong with that. I never offered to buy the record, merely enquired as to whether it was still available.
I see nothing wrong with that. I made no offer to purchase it, I never stated an intent to purchase it. Just asked if it was available. If the seller had sold it after I sked as to its availaibility, then would that be wrong? Of course not! As I never committed to anything. Just asked a question..
I buy a LOT of records from many people, including a few on here, I have never come across such sensitivity at a mere enquiry as to a record's availaibility.
