<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Burgess, post: 8107883, member: 105098&quot;]I dunno, first come first serve, subject currently unsold. I see no problem with a buyer paying for it, and the dealer holding it for pickup later after making your rounds of the bourse, but I do have a problem with a person making a deal and walking away to go look elsewhere with a promise to come back later to finish the deal. I wouldn&#039;t take a deposit to hold it either, buy it and here&#039;s a receipt to pick it up later and it will be set aside for you, if not and any person with the money comes along in 10 minutes later that wants it,&nbsp; it will be sold to them.</p><p><br /></p><p>I had a situation like this buying two 50kw&nbsp; and one 175kw generators from a big dealer that had them &quot;on the shelf&quot; for close to $100K. straight up they said &quot;if someone comes along with the money before you do they will be sold and you will need to wait for new ones to be made and shipped to us (about half a year), I can hold them as long as you need in our warehouse for you, but you have to buy them if you want them held for you&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyways, I like it, nothing worse than tying up inventory that could be sold on a promise and then it falling through and getting stuck with it when it could have been sold to someone else that is ready to act immediately. </p><p><br /></p><p>I get why someone might want to do this, maybe they have something they like they need to sell first but needed to find that one thing at the right price before they moved to sell basically one out and one back in. This isn&#039;t the dealers problem though, he&#039;s there to sell things, not hold things while shoppers figure out their finances in my opinion. maybe the customer works out a deal for what they want, but then they have some convoluted scheme of flipping some things for a day to get to that price and if any step falls though, they won&#039;t make it. </p><p>A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush. pay for it and it can be held until the end of the show, heck pay for the shipping and I&#039;m sure the dealer will even ship it to your address for you so you don&#039;t have to be weighed down with it at the show.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
