I dont like reserving stuff for others too. I did that recently and now it just makes things more complicated for me.

Then don’t reserve. Let the potential buyer know that he has to make payment within a certain period or the items are available again.

When reading this post It all seems so complicated. As a seller just say no if someone ask you to reserve some stuff. It isn’t that difficult. And I think it’s up to the seller to decide if he agrees with a reservation request or not. No need to setup rules for that…

Dibs is for calling the last slice of pizza or getting the front seat in a road trip.
Not for sales threads. Shits silly.

Lol, yeah dibs is a bit ridiculous.
Every buyer should just PM the seller “I’ll buy your X for $Y. Whats your paypal” and be done with it
Now who was the asshole that called dibs on a $200 prototipo + enclosure?

Honest question:
Isn’t it up to the seller if he will reserve items pending payment?
Is this a forum rule or just a personal pet peeve?

I’d also like to point out it says no Friends and Family. Which really I absolutely agree with. But still happens all the time that people request ff . Sometimes because they want their dineros tres vamanos . Sucks. I don’t know you, you’re not a friend or family. It’s right there in the name. Yeesh

To answer your question. Are you proposing that in addition to the “serious” tag we now institute a “No Dibs” tag? Most sellers do now want to have to support dibs and reserves, I know because I’ve asked. I really think making a tag or a rule regarding this is silly as most people understand that calling dibs does no one but the one person that’s maybe interested in the item any good and it literally screws everyone else up that is involved.
So in closing, can we just not?

It’s not a rule but we are trying to discourage it. Scenario: Person A posts a Unity for sale. Person B calls dibs. Persons C, D, E, and F see this and exit, thinking it’s gone. Person B tries to generate funds but it doesn’t happen and backs out. Prospective buyers, who might have been ready to drop coin right away, lose out.

I hate this, I wish everyone would just post in the thread what they are buying from the seller. Another thing I think benefits everyone, buyers can easily see what is sold and sellers don’t have to keep posting what items are sold already

Until money has changed hands, then an item is not sold. I think it would surprise you how often a potential buyer says “I’ll take it” then 2 hours later says “never mind, I didn’t know that venom mach 1’s wouldn’t fit on my F250”.
Through much experience it has been proven time and time again, its much better for the seller to handle this stuff in a PM and mark items as sold.

ok, I see this is a touchy subject, I said no such thing.
I say let the free market roll. If a seller wants to take karamdibs from a bunch of flakes, let him. Seller can also ignore dibs as they see fit.
Just my .02

I’ve always thought of telling the seller I want it as a commitment to buying the item. Your right, I didn’t realize this wasn’t standard practice.
You hear that! No more Karamdibs
