Well, I contemplated a long time before making this post.
It has to do with an inexpensive ($100) .22 rifle I posted for sale.
On 24 December a forum member with about a dozen only positive feedback says "I'll take it". There were a few follow up PM's about time and location to meet.
On 5 January we agreed on a location and day to meet......since then nothing...
I can see said forum member has been logged in to ODT but no response to my multiple attempts at communication.
Things happen, money problems, kids get sick, people even change their minds, life goes on. But not having the common courtesy to at least reach out to the other party and explain what is happening is in my opinion totally unacceptable.
Anyway with that small rant out of the way. I know this type of behavior is the rare exception here at ODT. Everyone else who I have dealt with over the years has been great. We may not always have been able to come to terms on a trade or sale. But those negotiations were done in good faith and in the end things just did not work out.
If the ODT'er in question is reading this - maybe you should be embarrassed. Maybe not, I don't know your situation. But responding to my PM's may be a good start. And if you do manage to overcome your embarrassment, you are still welcome to pick up the rifle. It's set aside for you.
Regards,
Rob
