Canceling and reordering an unnacepted order to take advantage of the rising price of Bitcoin?

Let's say you place a decent-sized order and it sits on the market unaccepted for over 24 hours while the price of Bitcoin soars. The $200 worth of bitcoin I have put down is now worth $220.

So I cancel the order and re-place the same order with the same vendor, I now have the same order sitting with the same vendor but I now have an extra $20 in my account.

Is this tacky or cheap? If you were a vendor would you frown on this type of behavior and not accept the order?

Don't be surprised when vendors cancel your orders after the price falls.

Vendor might not wonder enough about you to figure out you were trying to save $20. Doubt a vendor cares about $20 either. Although personal opinion yeah it's cheap.. but hey if you need the money do you I guess..

The functionality is there, so I say 'fair game.' I price things in fiat, so it's worth what it's worth. It doesn't matter to me what goes on before I accept an order. However, once I do accept it...requests for something like that are inconvenient/cheeky.

Dick move.

I remember seeing people complain all the time when the price of bitcoin was crashing and vendors would cancel orders. If it wasn't cool in that scenario, its not cool in this scenario.

You are a selfish idiot for wanting to waste someone's time and effort over a measly $20.

Should use your money for food if times are that tough for you......

If the vendor doesn't promptly accept an order you don't owe them the extra coin. The prices are in fiat anyway.
