Do what you say & say what you mean

Twice in a week now , I have had people back out of agreed deals on mb stuff, and on both occasions I agreed to pay their asking price. One of these deals was with a forum member as well. It's starting to piss me off.

I am still hunting down a deadbeat from the middle of last year who refuses to refund me for items which were never shipped.

FWIW I didn't hear a response from you and decided to list the bumpers on ebay. I have another set I pulled on Fri in similar or better shape than the previous and I offered them to you in PM. Please don't denigrate my name because you took over a day to respond to a pretty good offer IMO, I got a mouths to feed and bills to pay. If you want the newer set you can have them for the price we spoke about. I'm not trying to screw anyone over, I'm more interested in making friends than making money.

That's what's so great about this forum, I've made a lot of great friends here.

First of all, I never mentioned anybodys name, and had no intention of doing so. But since you did, I guess the cats out of the bag. Secondly, through our phone conversation it was already established that I wanted the bumpers and we were discussing a possible trade, remember? Your pm offer to me saying you would prefer cash was at 9:12 pm on 2-07, and my acceptance was at 3:08 pm on 2-08. Look at your pm's, their time stamped! Third. Mouths to feed? Did'nt you tell me you needed money to pay for that 220 mb you just bought in Alabama?
The final insult is your post in parts. I qoute, " I could put these on ebay but I'd rather someone from here got them".
As for your offer on the other bumpers , if you remember I was mainly interested in the three piece one.

Once again I did not mention any names. I was just venting.

Bruce...this all sounds like mis-understanding and I am sorry for the both of you that it didn't work out.

I did a deal with winmutt and it worked out good...he's a stand up guy in book.
