If you work out a deal with someone, for f*ck sakes, follow through on it. If you don't it just makes you look like a douchebag.

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...

Have we not already talked about this before?

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.


Retiring soon...

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.
