That's right my brothers. A member here. I am used too getting friged by eBay sellers. We all have. But you would not expect too get not only set up by a member. Screwed out of a item by one of our own. I have talked outside of here with many great members. Met 2. Chatted with Bill. Joe Scott so on. So I started talking with another for over a month now. Seemed like a cool guy. Talk shop. Boxes. Recent purchases. Was trying too make arrangements too come too my home as he is somewhat local. But comes into my town often. Was going too do a meet and greet. Drive down too where 3 local M90's are. That at first I was reluctant too give the info on. But after while gave up the goods in trying too help him acquire his first M90. As he has never had 1. Was going too sell off 1 of his 7980's too get the funds. They were in the shop getting repaired. Asked what I thought about a price they could fetch. You get the picture. Recently meet with a guy and picked up his Vela disco for 500 and a lasonic 920. Not a bad trade and cash at all! He was too be coming this weekend into town. So I get a message saying someone is selling a Clairtone 7979. I could not find it at first. He sent me the link. Said he messaged the seller. Got a reply saying 2 others had already contacted her. And when that happens pretty hard too get it once that happens. Which is true. In my Kijiji I will take the first come. First serve route. I have lost some great deals that way. So I thought .. I'll give it a try. Messaged. Offered 200 plus shipping. Nothing at first. So he's tells me. If you can get it I'm coming in this weekend. I will grab it for you and bring it down! Great! So I message seller again and say hey! Forget the shipping .. Have a friend that will come by and pick it up forget the shipping. Little time passes. One of those feeling like yiu got the big fish and your losing it on your line he says. Ah. He says. I'm happy with my Vela. My funds are low for anymore toys right now. Well dammed if the woman says too me. Its yours! Well holy crap. I tell him she got back too me. And I would also be happy too trow him a 100 bucks for his time. As it is a holiday weekend for us. Thanksgiving. He says he has a buddy near there that will pick it up for him too get for him till he sees me. As he was heading too be with family that day and could not make it that afternoon. Will let you know when my buddy gets back too me. So I get the message .... Were good. He will grab it. But I won't be able too get it till Monday or Tuesday. So I give him the number if the girl for his friend too pick it up. No problem. He gets it. Great! I'm thrilled. Sent me some pics and looking forward too your evaluation. So tonight I get a message saying. He already has 250 invested. As he gave his friend 50 for his time. And says he knows a collector that will give him 350 as is. But I think I will just keep it and fix it later. Huh? Whoa? Did he just tell me I'm not getting my box? Ah. I say. Are you telling me your not bringing my box? I made a deal with her and you. I don't want too sell it. No reply. So I say. Lol. That was a good one. You had me there! That was funny. What time are you coming this weekend? Im not trying too be funny. I could have got that for a 100 bucks. That's not cool what you did. Did? What did I do? You offered too help out a brother. She had 8 offers and picked me. I must have had 20 some messages with her just talking about her 7979. She got on her 14 th birthday. And love for music. So what did I do wrong. I sit here tonight bent over. Get the butter boys. Vintage man got reamed good. And by one of our family here. The prick even sent me 7 pics if my own score with the intention of never bringing it. So you reading this TMLFAN? I have all the messages too back this up. And if you think your out of my reach. Think again. You will be in Oshawa 1 day. And i will be there. In the words of the epic Pink Floyd album. Just 5 minutes worm your honor. Him and me alone!!!!
Totally agree with Fuz. And Don't spend to much time feeling sad guys, there are many more scores out there 
This was a train wreck waiting to happen. This could have been a promising relationship if everybody had dialed it back a notch. I know I've f'ed up and payed too much, but I've never pulled one right out from under someone's nose (or tried to) just to save a buck.
Work it out boys it's not worth the drama!
