Classified, What does ( I'll Take It Mean )

[Varmint Hunter]

My intuition tells me that the seller would have taken the check if another buyer hadn't jumped in there and offered an electronic (immediate) payment. That's why the seller didn't state that checks weren't acceptable in the ad.
Just my thoughts.

I believe the LRH site needs to set some rule's for , I'll Take It". It would prevent all this confusion & disagreements.

Thanks, but I already have enough people trying to tell me what to do. I dont listen to them either. If a guy can't figure out how to buy or sell something on a forum like this without detailed rules, then stick to face to face.

@Hespco
While I sympathize with your situation and can understand your frustration I don't think LRH is prepared to "step into the ring" and moderate Trader Transactions based simply on the phrase "I'll take it".

I just went through 10 random posts in classifieds. 2 still using PayPal and Venmo, others no statement of payment options.

Good luck folks.

USPS MO's do have another backstop, US Postal Inspection for mail fraud.

If the sellers ad did not state "electric payment only" or "electric payment preferred", then your "I'll take it" trumps all other offers. The way it's been for decades, and should continue, unless the seller states otherwise in his ad.

Seller is not trustworthy, and I would not feel bad about giving him bad feedback.

You guys that say get with the times, electronic is the only way...do you remember what a handshake means? Have you ever heard the saying, "a man is only as good as his word"?

I prefer USPS Money Order, or Cashier's Check when I sell on classifieds. If I get screwed using one of those 2, then...my bad. I also state in my ads, that first "I'll take it" responding to the ad, gets first crack at it.

So he says I'll take it, and his payment method is wampum, bones, dried fish. Nothing in your ad says those aren't acceptable.

Get real, I'll take it is an expression of interest not a transfer of title. You still have to agree on the balance of all the other terms of the sale. If you really think most of us are going to try and cover off all the permutations I have seen in the thousands of deals some of us have done, including delivering a package to an air base so it could be dropped by Hercules airplane to the purchaser, then you are dreaming in technicolor.

To me as a buyer. I'll take it states that you agree to the price. And the only other issue at hand is the type of payment unless otherwise stated. That is at least how I understood this. Now if we are talking make an offer. That is another animal. lol
