[Type 4 Unleashed]

THIS WAS MY PM TO THE SELLER

I, am interested in the items, here is my zip- 92656, for shipping charges, if their still available?

PM FROM SELLER NEXT DAY AFTER GETTING HOME FOR WORK.

They are available. shipping to CA is 15 bucks.

I, SENT THE PM BEFORE I WENT TO BED, NO RESPONSE, BEFORE I CRASHED, HAD TO BE UP AT 5:30, WORK

RESPONDED TO SELLER AFTER GETTING HOME FROM WORK

I, just got off work.
Send, me your address, and I'll get you a Postal Money Order out in the morning.

RESPONSE FROM SELLER

Sorry, out of the blue a local guy came over and scarfed em' up.

MY RESPONSE

Too, Bad your one of those people who do business that way. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/stromberg.gif)

HIS RESPONSE

OK, partner, look at this serise of posts/replys.

No where in there do you say "I'll take them".
Had you done that they would be yours. I am good to my word and feel free to ask any body around this or other BBSs to find out the truth of that.
You didn't say the magic words and you're shit outta luck and blaming me for your own oversight.

You'll note that the guy that posted second said the words and he got em'.

I ain't sorry any more.

MY RESPONSE

What a crock of (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/stromberg.gif) , apparently I did have first's on those, by your pm last night, and you couldn't wait to hear back from me, you sold them to some body else before you did. Your using symantics as an excuse, you took the easy way out, you got your cash. And you sold them to some body close to you, probally some one you've done business with before, a friend? Your not the only one who deals that way.

I, seem to get all the ASSHOLES.

HIS RESPONSE

Suit your self, fuckwad, but that's the way it works.
I can see why some of your deals go bad. Everyone is a dipshit but you, eh? You're (note the speeling) my first complaint. Everyone has to have one, I suppose.

HE STILL WOULD OF SOLD THE ITEMS TO HIS BUD, EVEN IF I HAD SAID HIS MAGIC WORDS

OPINIONS: AM I IN THE WRONG?

[Mueller]

Did the seller have a location? If so, you should have figured or guessed what the shipping was yourself. Then you could have told him you want them and will take the item for sure.

No location?

Was the shipping going to be the make it or break it on the sale? If so you should have said you'll take it as long as shipping is not X amout over???

Most of the time I'd take a local sale over something I have to package up and send.

Also, you waited until you got home to tell him you'll buy the stuff...he is not a mind reader and knows whether or not you'll email him back saying yes or no.

Like others said, move on and learn from this, it;s not the end of the world.
