Instead, that evening when I was able to check my PM's, I discovered your snarky PM and decided that I didn't want to do business with you.
As I said (when you finally called after I PM'd that I wasn't interested), I was perfectly willing to just call it a miscommunication and let it go. I thought we hung up friends. But now I check in a few days later to find that you've flamed the entire community over one miscommunication. Bad form, bud!
Bob, internet purchases are entirely based on trust -- and invariably the buyer is expected assume all the risk. So to help you understand why I backed out of the deal, let's swap the trust equation so you can try it out in my shoes. Just send that tent along and if I like it, I'll send you a check for what I think it's worth. If it's exactly as you described with no defects, I'll pay the price we agreed on. If not, I'll CALL and negotiate. If we can't come to terms, I'll return it at my expense.
And I think you owe Whiteblaze an apology.
