What about asking the buyer for partial compensation for the expense you encurred?  It's funny, sales and deals that don't happen "immediately" or where some money changes hands seem to drag on or go south.  I guess that's why, generally, a contract is not truley formed until the goods and/or cash change hands.

$350 is the cheapest I could find!  Actually, it was a little more than that when you put in taxes.

Hitch - $240 installed
Wiring - $80
Ball - $10





WOW! next time you need 12V automotive wiring done, ask me first.

why not just use a relay of the existing brake and turn signal circuits?

Don't you still have the WCS? Can you not work out the same trade?

With the guy who made on offer even though ancientgames had marked his deal as "PENDING"?  At the same I marked WCS as "SPOKEN FOR" and announced I was going to ancientgames area to pick up games?  Sorry, this guy knew a deal was in the works and bought them out from under me.  I don't want to do business with a guy like that.

Crap! Didn't realize that. Didn't have my coffee.

That really sucks. Perhaps the guy didn't know? Would seem strange to go forward with a deal, only to trade the games right away? Unless he got a smoking deal and only wanted to flip them.

AncientGames didn't sell his games to Dr. Makak.  I bought AG's Police Force and Pinbot last night (and only because your deal with AG was a no-go).  It's just a coincidence you've been offered the same games elsewhere.

I'm pretty sure these are Gerry's old games that Makak(?) bought a little while ago. Check the old For Sale postings as Gerry posted them here. Just coincidence on the games and I remember getting a few pics of some games that Gerry was selling ans they were very nice so probably worth a look.
