I've had it happen before (recently in fact), but these things happen, things change.. hey, it keeps me from having to hide another pin from my wife!
There will be other deals.
So it was you that fucked karma over!
Bwhahahahaha
I 'm with MS on this; mess happens, I have had people back out on me and I have had stuff come up and I have had to back out also... Just be honest and talk about it ... I think that is the key- do not ignore...

Yup... happens. I am still reeling from a 4000$ loss on 3 deals. It leaves a bitter taste, that's for sure, especially when I end up selling my own machines just to cover my losses.
But for myself, I rather not post on a backed-out deal. The consequences can often be huge for both sides. but if you openly get screwed or ripped off, then yes, it is good to advise people, but my suggestion is to wait until you calm down to do so. When emotion takes over, it never ends well.
But there is one side to it all though... I may not post about sour deals... but I get PMs a lot from members asking me about this and that guy and if they are trustworthy...
I then tell them that Terry is a thieving bastard. lol
Seriously, I tell then what I have seen. I let people make their own opinion. and I can name a few that didn't listen to me and DID end up getting screwed.
That's exactly why I'm not saying anything else about this matter. This is more of a PSA than anything.
The kind of thing just leaves people pissed off.
I admit I have been guilty in the past of having to back out due to financial reasons... never fun and quite embarassing. But I would still respect an agreement if it put a seller in trouble. Some uncontrolable circumstances happen. But I hope everything works out OK in the end for you.
but really. i have had only a small percentage mess with me with the amount of stuff i have collected, trade and sold. but a couple of them really got to me. those couple also f-ed others before and after me. some members did thank me for outing others and others wish they outed them as well when they got f-ed over. i just have nothing to loss by stating how i really feel. i have some great guys from maaca that i deal with alot. if others don't like me due to me getting treated bad and telling others, then tough they don't need to deal with me. but most know i am a very easy going guy.

It should. The pin I want was a high production pin, but finding it in the condition I want (missing certain parts) has proved tough.
Maybe someday.

I will admit that I'm at least one of if not the one who recently backed out on a sale to machine.slave - I feel terrible about it (and offered to go through with it if he insisted), but Brock was understanding of my change of heart (had nothing to do wiith price), and for that I am greatful and admire his style. Good Karma goes around and I can only hope that I haven't screwed a good pinationship with my ambivalence.
