I'll take it!
But could you hold it for me for two weeks for me to get paid and I might find another one for a lower price so be ready to renegotiate also I reserve the right to cancel my "I'll take it at anytime" just incase my wife or significant other decides to not let me have my balls from the quart jar on the refrigerator shelf she keeps them on.

A man is only as good as his word... If not for his word or bond, he's nothing. If you don't have any integrity, what value are you in society ? Nothing but a turd on the ground, drying up till you crumble up and blow away with the wind.

No, it still means exactly the same as it ever did. Just many people today weren't brought up right, so never learned that your word is your bond.
While it's true that all liberals are crazy people, not all crazy people are liberals.

I thought it meant:
"I will buy it from you at the price you asked and I will have the funds to you by X date. If X is not soon enough then sorry to bother you."
Usually, my X is 'immediately", but I don't think naming a later time up front means you are crawfishing the deal. And if you as the seller agree to X date then it means you won't sell it out from under the buyer, even if you are offered more. That's what it means to me. Honesty and good faith on both sides.
But, yeah, I guess it doesn't mean that to everyone.

The take it was conditional on the pics I think.
I didn't see anything firm there, but maybe a bit misleading.
Should be "if I like the pics, I'll take it"

I'll take,but only if it has x,y,z..So you sell it to someone who does not care if it has x,y,z because it doesn't. Then the first guy is pi$$ed then.Happened to me on here once.

I recently made a $315 purchase from a campfire member via pm. I told him I was sitting on $250 and would have the other $65 in a couple of days. He said he would consider it sold. I appreciated that a lot since the item he was selling doesn't come along every day in the classifieds. powdr

"I'll take it pending pics" is conditional. If another guy came in with a hard "I'll take it" the second guy wins. The first guy should have send me pics and if I like it I'll take it.

I had sellers ask me to post I will take it, in the post they were selling the item in. Which I had no issue doing. In your add the so buyer never posted I will take it.
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

Well now it depends on where you said "I'll take it". Did you say it here in the classifieds or at an LGBT event?

If you say "I'll take it", then you should. If you don't, then you're a sack. Simple.

"I'll take it's is a verbal handshake. I do work on a handshake basis often. So I see no diffrence with making a sale. "I'll take it " is a verbal contract. (YMMV)

the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.

A conditional "I'll take it" sucks ass big time. It's just a way for a drag assed dreamer to prolong a sale while he waits for his ship to come in... It never does.
