    When is there going to be a system in place to protect buyers from unscrupulous vendors who behave in such an appauling way?

    When we have a government that has the interest of the people it represents at its heart.

    Thats never, oh by the way.

    I agree, we need a system that protects buyers and sellers from the fickleness of others when such significant sums of money are involved...

    That's why I like the Scottish system which penalises withdrawal.

    Also, the vendor can sell it for offers over £x and it can go to sealed bids if there are multiple parties or for fixed price (first come first served).
