		You could be "gazumped" by the butcher, the baker, and, if not the candlestick maker, then very likely by your local used car salesman.

	Gazumping - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The word is thought to have come from the Yiddish word gazumph meaning to swindle or overcharge, which became gangster slang in the 1920s.
		With buoyant property prices in the British residential property market of the late 1980s and early 1990s, gazumping became commonplace in England and Wales because a buyer's offer is not legally binding even after acceptance of the offer by the vendor.
		It is often wrongly claimed that gazumping is a rarity in Scotland because it is said that an oral agreement on a property deal is legally binding; while the law on contract differs from the law in England, the rarity is due to the different system of conveyancing.

		Dear Word Detective: In trying to buy a house recently I have become well-acquainted with the term "gazump." Apart from the origin of this word (and the related "gazunder"), I was hoping you could clarify its correct usage.
		I must admit that the verb "gazump" is a new one on me, and I happen to be a homeowner.
