I'll out myself because I don't think I did anything wrong, at least intentionally. Also let me state that I don't think Bradcorn did anything wrong either and I'm not mad at him or anything. Basically I made an offer on about 500 of the chips, and I did say I would pay immediately if Brad accepted. He came back with an offer to sell to me at my price per chip, but only if I bought more chips. In a separate message he said I could buy the quantity I desired at a bit higher per chip price. We were having a big grad party for my son that day and I had a lot on my mind and was very busy so I asked if I could get back to him the next day (Sunday). I pondered it Sunday morning and decided I did not want to pay any extra or buy extra chips (200 $5's is all I'll ever use) and told him no thanks on the offer. Then I moved on to a different chip plan for myself, as I'm sure many of us do.
Now comes the part where I guess I need the community to judge me. After that exchange a bit later I received a message from Brad that because of my offer he split up his chips and sold the 500's etc. and that now he was in a bad spot and would honor my original offer. There was honestly a fairly minor increase from my offer to his, but I declined his original offer nonetheless. I had no idea he had split up his chips before he messaged me. In my mind he still has a fine cash set available, albeit with too many $5's. I had already decided I no longer wanted the chips when I declined his offer earlier.
I guess the question is...were my actions acceptable since there never was offer and acceptance or did I do Brad wrong.
Also whatever people think I don't think Brad is a bad seller at all and I hope people don't think I am a bad buyer. I don't want to paint Brad in a bad light either, I just think things didn't work out on our sale. It's hard to explain a situation like this in text, but I tried my best.
Thanks,
