What has happened to ODT?

Not with me. "I'll take it" means it's yours and I'll hold it for you. I'm not some impulsive, impatient donkey that needs to make a sale yesterday. If possible, I prefer not to deal with those types.
As I said to the other guy, just because you mean it, it doesn't mean everyone does. It has been my experience that far more people don't mean it than do. I operate accordingly. Obviously, you are free to operate as you see fit.
 
Meh, I’ll take it means something to me, I guess. I don’t care to doubt anyone until they give me a reason…. But it doesn’t need to be a giant reason.

Like… “I’ll take it, yo.” gives me enough reason to doubt you unless palmetto moon said it. He always says stuff like that, yo.
 
I’ll take it if you drive two hours to me and sell it half price…

There’s a reason we don’t allow feedback unless all the points of a by the rules trade hare agreed to. The deal itself, location and time, and confirmation by both parties, all in ODT PMs.
And a few more, like it ain't as pretty as I thought it was, right?

Doesn't matter whether I mean it and he doesn't. Doesn't matter if I trust you and you don't trust me. Doesn't matter if I forgive you and you don't forgive me. In life, you do and be who you are supposed to be and you don't worry about the reciprocation of others. If he bails, he bails. I will sell it to the next guy who honors his commitment.

exactly... Letting some deadbeats dictate the morals I grew up with doesn't track.
 
Should be pretty obvious that as long as communication remains consistent, we are still in the deal.
And if he stops communicating, he "bailed?"

But he said "I'll take it" and you said "I'll hold it."

The only difference between us is that you are willing to let them waste your time. I am not.

Since I revived the thread, I’ll add context.

I said “I’ll take it “ he said Okay, I said “can we meet tomorrow “ he said “yes”, I said “great thanks and I will contact you in the morning for a convenient time and place for you “ and he replies an hour later with “sorry a guy just came and picked it up “

That’s low class in my opinion, whether 1 deal done or 1300 deals. If you have multiple offers, let that be known up front. I’m okay with that.
