and so I think this is why games get parted out LOL

This is meant to be read in jest- if you recognize yourself in this post, don't get mad about it. I'm not mad at all, this has just helped me to realize why someone finally says, "OK, that's it- I'm carving it up.." :D :D :D

In posting a game for sale recently, the below all transpired within one week. The names have been left out to protect the innocent:

1. a person offered to buy the game, and then 30 seconds later wrote me back and said they changed their mind LOL (hey at least they got back to me, right?)

2. another person wrote me to tell me their bday was coming up, and this would make a great bday present for them (and no it wasn't SuperBee)- they made a counter offer and wanted to know how far I was from location X. I told them where I was located, and I never heard anything further LOL (again)

3. another person told me they were interested in the game, and then told me they'd let me know by the end of the day on day x what their decision was going to be. I never heard back from them on it.

4. a person offered me a trade for the game, I replied and have not yet heard the final decision so we'll see how that one goes :)

I thought people would get a laugh out of that. Oh, and the folks listed above were just my KLOV interested parties! I won't even go into detail about what I've gotten from the CL crowd!!
 
Yep, it happens a lot with parts too. I had one person tell me they wanted my part right away, then asked me what it really was, then asked if I could wait a while for them to get enough money to pay for it. In the mean time, I had turned down another offer. Went back to that person and they weren't interested anymore.
 
Yeah were all guilty of that at least once in our life. I try not to punish the game in a case like yours vg but if its gotta go, its gotta go man. Give it a little more time... then punish it with the big smashy smashy hammer of death :D
 
I was #2 on that list.. Im sorry, I was trying to work on logistics, you were a littler further away than I had hoped.. To be fair to me, it was Thursday that we chatted... That said, I have an inbox full of "can I come look, Im very interested" emails about the 3 games Im selling.. so I know how frustrating it is. And my last batch took months to actually sell!!

I know it wasn't me. I would have never used a lame reason like that.

I still want the Omega Race....:D
