It's official...

[rant] I...dislike...the Classifieds section.

Here's the story: I was probably going to buy an item listed, after I asked the seller a few questions. Nobody had purchased it yet, according to the Price column, and I'm pretty sure I was the first to message the seller, indicating I was interested in purchase, once I had some questions answered.

Well, somebody must have clicked the "Buy it Now" button before the seller got to my message, so I got scooped on the sale.

The old B/S/T didn't seem to have this problem, and feedback and comments between buyers and sellers were more friendly and in keeping with the feel of these forums.

This is a systemic issue I hadn't realized, and it's a real bummer.


Sigh, I guess I'm better off without that particular item, but it still leaves a sour taste in my mouth.
