Ernie did a savvy buyers bid--I've done the same thing on real estate--desperation sale, undervalued, ????galore about the property. Won some, lost some, won more than I've lost at.
The buyer wasn't at fault, no one who contacted him put any money on the table at the 25K price, everyone wanted to "check it out first"---he got 2 offers, at least, for 35K, first offer backed out, Ernie won.
Was the buyer wrong not to honor the 25K asking price when he had an offer for 35K---not in my book, wasn't unethical to me, wasn't false advertising, it was a guy who was offered dollars in hand over maybe's---Be honest which one of you wouldn't have taken the 35k solid offer over the 25K that might or might not come through from a looky lou?
Only thing slimy I've seen is from those that arrived a little late while they questioned the authenticity of the seller, to put their $ on the bar--then *****ed about the seller and buyer cutting them out of a "deal".
Way to go Ernie --Allan says you have a great ride at a great price.
PS "Dirty Ernie" does have a certain ring to it
