NICE

of course there are 2 sides to every story.
The part that is important is that i saw the listing..it was for $50. i sent a message to the seller asking if they could meet me in Ottawa to buy it. she replied not right away she is 45 min out of ottawa. So I said i will offer $100 to come pick it up now.. right after that i sent vintageman a message saying another good box popped up on kijiji ..told him I offered $100 ..which is above the asking price to hopefully secure it.. this was all before 7AM

he told me he didnt see it..I sent him the link...
of course at this time i am interested in the box..having offered twice the asking price offering to pick it up right away
He asked me if I would grab it for him... which I said I am waiting for the seller to get back to me on the offer and pick up.

Next he went ahead and offered $200 ..without telling he was going to or asking if it was cool with me.. since he doesnt know about it without my help anyways. at the time I didnt say anything..but the more I thought about it..why would he do that? if he thought we were cool?

what are my options at this point? to start a bidding war with him? I was willing to go higher for it of course
the rest is accurate.. i did say I would then pick it up and deliver it to him

If i am way off base in thinking its not cool for him to jump in and take if out from under me.. then i will honor the deal and give it to him

My last message I asked t his question to vintageman
The part that bothers me is why would you offer more when I told you I contacted her and was waiting for a response?

i was hoping for an answer to that question

 

[Vintage Man]

That is such a crock! Would you like me too put the entire conversation up here for all too see. ??

 

[Vintage Man]

This is why I have my car enthusiast buddies pick up any scores that I can't.

We are all trying to catch the same fish, but there are only 1,2,3, maybe 4 boombox people I would ask to help me get a boombox score. It's like telling all your fishing friends where the hot spot is and they clean it out when you are gone then invite you over to try a bite or tell you to f'off because they are his fish now.


Sorry to hear a boombox is coming between both of you. Good luck.

 

[Vintage Man]

Thanks Joe. I remember when I was having trouble with that RC550 mint. And you offered too pick it up for me. I know you would never pull this stunt.

 

[Vintage Man]

oh 1 other thing that irked me was I read later on that he was posting in another members thread who was selling a 7979 also..bragging about the score for $50 Before it was even bought.

 

[Vintage Man]

Ah. Hello!??? I put that up once you told me you would grab it for me... Again. The messages and time line I have do not lie..

 

[Vintage Man]

thats fair
its really not in my character to do something like that..and yes its bothering me

when i sent him the link..i did not think he would try to grab it out from me since I was local...or I wouldn't have sent it
once he told me he sent the offer (and I realized why she stopped replying to me) I asked what his highest offer was because I wanted to tell her I would pick it up for 200 .. but just dropped it at that point and said I would get it for him

 

[Vintage Man]

Here we go again. Stick too the actual messages. If I did something soooooun cool. Why did you not say too me that morning "hey. I did not share that link so you could bid on it.. I would have told her count me out. Give it too the other guy. Again the messages do not lie. You said you were quite happy with your Vela. And funds for toys were low. You sure came up with the 200 pretty quick huh?

[Vintage Man]

I did not look at the last message once I relised I was not going too get it. So I never saw the question.

 

[Vintage Man]

It looks too me like I will have too put up the conversation that morning too show what I'm talking about. And these guys are right... I am a good link for the west part of Ontario too score local boxes. This could be a killer combo. I would have gladly picked up your vela for you and hold it till arrival.... I just don't get why you did this based on the actual documened events that morning. I'm too tired too do it now. But i will transcript whole morning here for all too see. Maybe that will help...

 

[Vintage Man]

Oh. And you don't make a deal like that with a brother and then hold back on it and ask questions later. If you were disappointed I did that. You sure never said anything about it durning , and at pick up. You waited till you had it. And then renage on it? Try putting this in your situation at your end and this was done too you. With no warning ? I just don't get it. Again. I will get up with my coffee and post that mornings conversation. And please Fat Dog. I give you my full permission too access my account too verify the messages I post are word for word. And timeline.... I don't makeup any of these stories...........

 

[Cpl-Chronic]

Well....If the guy pooched your deal on you, that takes some cohones! You've always dealt straight with me VintageMan.
