I posted a want ad for a Punch Out!! in So Cal. I was contacted by "Postmortem01" who offered to sell me his. We agreed on a price.
2 weeks went buy with multiple excuses of "working late". OK, no big deal. Stuff happens. Even though we only live about 6 MILES APART.
I would send texts every few days asking when we could complete the deal. Most of my texts went unanswered. He then contacted me and told me that his father was in surgery. I told him not to worry about the deal, we'll do it when he can. A few days go by and he tells me his father had complications. I again tell him not to worry.
About a week later, I see that he has posted his Stargate machine up on craigslist. I send him a text asking "If you don't have time to complete the deal for Punch Out!!, how do you have time to complete the deal for Stargate!?" His response was "how does one affect the other?". Didn't make any sense at all to me so that's why I posted on here.
About a week goes by with me occasionally texting him "hey, I'm still interested", "I'll throw in an extra $50". No response. He then texts me about 3 days ago and says "I can do this weekend". I say "Great! Let's do noon Saturday!". At this point, I have turned down 2 other deals while waiting to complete this deal.
I wake up in the morning to a text that says "My company is sending me to Louisiana. I might not be able to do Saturday." I respond with "I will come over TONIGHT to get it!" No response.
I get a response this morning(1/31) "I'm in Louisiana. I'll be home tomorrow or Saturday at the latest". At this point, I know this is just more bullshit. I respond with "Cool, thanks". About 7 hrs go by and I get this text:
"Hey. Someone just sent me links of you posting about being pissed out the Punchout deal(this thread). To tell you the truth, I'm a bit annoyed with this entire thing. You should just buy from someone else."
Hahahah! PRICELESS! HE is the one that is annoyed by me!
