The selling of spares and breaking..

[Chillitt]

First off, I have no axe to grind, I'm just not certain how this works, and I just want to check so I don't upset anyone...
I have an ad for my old truck, but whats the score with replying to wanted ads? Is it first to offer bags it, or does everyone with the bits join in and the buyer decides? I need to get the thing shifted, but not badly enough to want to upset anyone.

just put a reply in with the price and p&p then its up to the buyer then if he goes with you or someone else.All i done for selling and was just go thru the threads for parts for sale and see what others are selling for then sell mine for much the same as the others.If you just want to get rid of parts quick then just say make a suitable off er and go from there.Sometimes you will get a bit more than you thought you may get

Care to expand on that? For instance, earlier I told someone I had some bits, after someone else said they might have them. Was that a bad thing?
Clearly from the buying end, once someone says they are having something thats it, but can a seller 'claim' a customer? Seems a bit of a minefield....

The operative word there is might, as opposed to will

I don't think anyone would mind. Plus, a 'might' have something isn't as good as a 'do' have something. Ask the buyer, go with whatever they say.
