Never gets old... the feeling like you just got screwed...
Was emailing a guy about a Freddy: Nightmare on Elm St. pin for a few weeks now. He's been dragging his feet by taking days to reply and taking almost 2 weeks to email pictures(which he finally had his wife do btw).
The person that lead me to this guy was saying he was a good guy and that he could probably bring the Freddy to Allentown if I couldn't get down that way beforehand so I wasn't thinking there wasn't a huge hurry(as it also seemed to be indicated by the slow email).
No big deal, I've dealt with people like this before.
Five nights ago his wife emails me the pictures and he follows up with an email to make sure I got the pictures and to say he also has a Lethal Weapon 3 in non-working condition that I could have for an extra $250. I replied saying I sure did get the pictures and that the wife and kiddos loved the theme. I asked if the LW3 was complete and if it had any major damage(not too bad a question I thought). I also asked where exactly he was because Google maps made it look like 1:45 and someone who came up for my Xenon said it was more like 3hrs(which didn't seem right to me so I asked... no harm done I thought).
So no reply that day...
Next evening I write again saying I couldn't stop thinking about fixing up that LW3 and again asked where he was...
No reply that day either...
Next evening I write from my Gmail account, just in case there was a problem from my other account, saying I could send a PayPal deposit and that I'd love to know where he was so I could map out a Google Map route.
No reply that day again...
This morning I receive an email saying LW3 is gone and Freddy(or Freedy like he liked to call it) was going tonight to someone who wanted it sight-unseen... unless he didn't offer enough then he'd get back to me.
All I wrote was... "Heh... what a complete disappointment..."
I wanted to be a dick... I wanted to fire off one of "those" emails... I wanted to beat his head into the ground to be honest.
But all I ended up sending was the above.
I've already made up my mind that I won't buy the Freddy, I mean Freedy from him if he gets back to me. Too long of a transaction with someone who obviously isn't my type of person to deal with.
I do blame myself for being a bit complacent... normally I'm the type who says "I have cash and a truck and can be there in 3 hours..." but I got lulled into it being a friend-type transaction.
(Stupid, stupid, STUPID!!!)
So there you have it... my "poor-me" post of the day.
Just rememberer... and never forget it... you snooze, you lose!!!
