This buyer asked me to reserve a brandnew PQI 128MB MMC and stated and confirmed in the text message that he will pickup the item thursday night. When I texted him 8:24 pm thursday night asking if he was still going to get the item, I get the answer "pre sancya na bigay mo nalang sa iba im out of town eh."
This is not a matter of money or the item not being sold to him but its a matter of responsibility. As I have said in my reply, as a courtesy to the seller you should have informed me earlier that you will not get the item because you are out of town, then all would have been ok. But for you not to inform me that you went out of town and not spending one minute of your time to send a message is really not an excuse. Its just a matter of responsibility and commitment to inform the other party.
I hope that next time, when you ask a seller to reserve you an item, make sure you inform him/her of the status of your reservation. Spend a little time to cancel before the said time.
