I'm sorry but dibs mean absolutely nothing. Seller has no obligation to sell to anyone just because they've expressed interest. If money hasn't changed hands then there's no deal yet.

But advertising on here and selling elsewhere is against the rules.

Yeabut, dibsing, following up with a PM to discuss payment and timescales and agreeing them is an agreement, and both seller or buyer could be rightfully pulled up for being a dick if you renege on the agreement.
(not entirely sure this is what happened here, the best bet for the seller in the situation where payment will be funded by the selling of something else, is to specify a timescale for when the money must be with them, or they go to the next buyer etc.)

I agree but in that case you adhere to people's communication. If you look at the thread for the wheels, 3 people have dibsed. The sale was highly likely. When someone has failed to honour their agreement and subsequently left you in a difficult situation, it leaves a sour taste.
I now have my sale as predicted and the funds would have been available. I was due to confirm tonight but he couldn't wait what turned out to be about 3 hours.
