WWYD - moral dilemma re selling sofa

1 reply

flossyfloo · 25/07/2012 18:23

I've listed a sofa and armchair on Gumtree for £75, hoping I would get minimum of £60.

Had a text a few hours later offering £50 and they can come and collect it this evening. I accepted (reluctantly) as I get the money and get rid of the sofa all in one day.

However, since then I have had 3 more texts and an email asking if it still available plus 2 phone calls offering the asking price and can collect tonight.

So now I am thinking, do I:
a) ask buyer for more money?
b) tell the buyer it is no longer available and see to one of the others?
c) do nothing, I had accepted the first offer so shouldn't go back on it?

Really need the money, that extra £15 will go towards our camping holiday next week but not fussed on the idea of going back on my word but, back again to we need the money and I am sure others would have no problem getting the most for something they are selling.

Quick answers please as time is getting on...

i would let them know that several other people have offered the asking price and give them the chance to offer it too.
if they don't want to then I would sell to one of the others
