Good morning,
Most recently I listed an item on Gumtree for sale and was very pleased to come to an agreement with a buyer to purchase the item for $600 and for it to be collected on Saturday 18th July 2020. If the buyer is a "no show" or decides to "pull out" of the agreement, is he in breach of a contract and thus breaking any law? I ask this as I have had it happen to me before when selling an item online.
Thank you kindly for your assistance and feedback. Below I have provided the transcript with the buyer for your reference.

Good morning Kevin, Hope you are enjoying a positive day so far. I am sorry to say I will not be able to let the setting go for that price. As you can see not only from the link, but also the attached photos, this is a genuine sale and well worth the value. The lowest I will go is $615. Please do let me know if you are no longer interested. Many thanks and have a great day.6:59 am

I have not see a similar setting on Gumtree for less than $580. And the one listed has been used for over two years. Perhaps you might be able to speak to that Seller and work out a great deal. It never hurts to try.7:01 am

Good afternoon Kevin, I trust you have had an awesome day. Thank you for your earlier inquiry. Are you still interested in purchasing the setting, or shall I say "thank you and enjoy your day"? Kindest regards. P.S. I can sweeten the deal with a packet of Tim Tams or two.5:36 pm
