Only if it comes from the heart. And I doubt it in his case. Just words.

Seriously? How can someone just throw out an ethnic slur and just have it passed off as just words? His post was fine until that last paragraph but once you throw something like that out there, you gotta be held accountable for it.

Two things
1) if it’s bugging you enough to make this post. Do you what makes you feel resolved. Life is too short to care what others think especially when hurting your principles
2) when I sell on eBay, I have a buy it now price and also take offers. Many times I would be negotiating through the counteroffer feature or, be chatting with people and someone will click buy it now. I know it’s not the same but could it be possible he has it listed on eBay?
3) yes in forum sales, “I’ll take it” from the buyer is binding and same on seller side if they agree to sell it then it is what it is. At the very least seller should reach out and say something like “hey sorry dude, someone else offer asking price, would you be willing to match? My family could really use the extra $50 or whatever”
4) I think every situation is nuanced and overall word is bond. However between 2 men honesty hall and communication is a separate issue that carries as much weight
Again, Life is too short to worry about what other people think, live your life the way you feel is good and just.

IMHO once money changes hands, the deal is done.
But I'd call this Bad Sportsmanship and not Bad Ethics, not worth reporting.
