If I was selling any car like this and I had told the buyer everything I
knew, answered any and all questions to the best of my ability then he
backed out AFTER the deal was made because of my personal driving habits
I'd be really pissed.
I have some limited experience with e-bay but I do understand that when I
click that button and make a bid I'd better be ready to win that auction,
all my homework done, the money ready and prepared to pick up or have
shipped what ever it is I just gave my word that I'd buy.
I am committed to that bid, good, bad or otherwise at that point.
