I would like some opions regarding an offer I made on the Forum. Someone listed a name under the offers wanted section on 7/7. That day, I responded via PM, "I offer $xxx for 24 hours." He did not respond until yesterday morning 7/10 - 3 days later and 2 days after my offer expired.
Am I obligated to purchase this name from him since he didn't accept the offer in the time I requested? He didn't even respond to my PM (If he had asked for a couple days to think about it, I would have considered it). He posted on the forum on 7/8 and I see the read receipt says he opened it, so I know he received my message before yesterday's PM to me.
I put a condition of 24 hours on my offer for two reasons. First, I don't like it when people take an offer and use it as leverage to get a better deal. This is a smart business practice, but as a buyer, I obviously don't want the seller to use my offer to try and find a better deal Second, I am in the market for different names and computer upgrades, so if I don't put a condition of 24 hours on the offer, he could get back to me days/weeks later and say that he accepts my offer. If my financial condition is different down the road, it is possible that I couldn't afford it later.
What are your thoughts?
