hi today after confiming a sale yesterday and agreed too the sum of 20.00 pounds and collection today at 09.00am.

on my arrival I was told by the seller that she was made an offer of 30.00 pounds and the item was sold adding that she had sent me an email. she also added that she was selling and gave a wry smile.


I must admit I did not look on my EDF messages and upon coming home bleary eyed and making a coffee.

I noted that the seller had PM me at 9.00PM. well I was arranging transport and getting a early night than too look at my PM's.


As polite as can be I told her no problem, however arriving home I was miffed and felt I should say something to the EDF buyers and also sellers, as I am sure there was something similar too this some months ago.


If this seller is new too EDF than I will step back but if this something she tends to do then I suggest she signs up with Ebay.co.uk as a seller and auction her items instead of stating the asking price and then agree with the buyer and arrange collection times only to sell to another buyer at a higher price than first offered.


Me thinks this is dodgy. Hey ho life goes on and be happy.


please can any one confirm what it the rules as if I was a seller naming a price that is what it is unless I stated a near offer aand if it was free then first come first served.


have a great week end too all.

Confused - you didn't check your messages and that is somehow the seller's fault?

hey I admit I did not check my emails however the seller had my mobile details the day before and ad pmd me from the time we had agreed the sale and collection time 09.00am this morning upon her request. 6hours after she sends an email. she could have texted me 08.45am today I end this trail as it will get petty for no reason and life is too short. out of here peace.
I'm not sure there are rules but agree that if a sale has been agreed the person should stick to it. Failing that a better effort to let you know should have been made, especially as she had your phone number. I wouldn't necessarily have checked my email over that period either. I guess some people are just like that unfortunately. I've had experience in the past of trying to give things away and people not turning up when they've said and not letting me know. I know from messages on the boards that I am not alone in this.

It *may* not be quite as simple as that because searching through the OP's recent posts he/she send an open message saying ...QUOTE "hi I have pm you please consider this set as sold and I will collect tomorrow pls call on the number in the pm thank you... UNQUOTE The sent a separate PM.


As a sometime-seller, this type of open response can be frustrating as it tends to cut out other prospective buyers but on the other hand the vendor could have considered making a call on the number provided in the PM.


Just proves - two wrongs don't make a right and disasters are very rarely caused by one contributing factor only.


Here endeth....

    • According to what I can see online, Dynamic Vines and Cave de Bruno sell totally different kinds of wine to each other.  Dynamic Vines  "work with independent winemakers who produce outstanding wine using sustainable practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar".  Cave de Bruno specialises in French wines and spirits from small independent producers. So two different USPs, and no doubt two different but overlapping customer bases who can afford these wines. Probably different again to the people mainly  shopping for wine at Majestic or the Co op. On the other hand, the two empanada shops appear on the face of it to be selling virtually identical products. But time will tell, won't it? Let's see how they are both doing in - say - a couple of years' time. Impossible, of course, to compare that with how they would have done if there had been only one of them. I just feel more  sorry for the original one than for  the one which can apparently already afford to have a number of shops in places like Mayfair and Highgate. I'm tempted to buy something there every week, and I don't even like that kind of pastry 🤣
    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. These Argentinian cornish pasties are clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has. 
    • Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
