What Has The World Come Too? Options

I have to vent for a moment. I was looking at an add In Samba about a week or so ago placed by a guy in the name of SHANE RED for some fuel injection. Called that guy about 3 times and talked to him to make sure he wouldnt sell the parts to someone else. He assured me he wouldnt, he said the parts were at his friends house and when he got his friend to bring them over he would call me back. one week later I didnt get a call back. Called him today and he sold it to someone who just came by. Dude thats so weak. People have no loyalty anymore these days. Ive been in similar situations and lost money because i promised parts or merchandise to someone else. Sickening what the worlds come to. Anyone else feel my pain??

Stuff like this happens all the time with used parts, dealing with people, not businesses.

Gotta say though, poor Matt had his share this week:

Matt agreed to purchase my windshield I had up in the classifieds. I PM'd him my addy, set up a Wed pick-up date.

I get a call Wed from Mark (Not Matt) asking if it was okay to pick the windshield. Sure, come on up!

History - I hadn't ever met either one in person before. Mark was a guy who said he would buy the windshield about a month ago. We set up meeting dates etc and it just never panned out. So eventually I relisted the item.

Back to last Wed:

This explains why Mark already had my address. He picked up the part, everyone happy right?

Get a PM from Matt over the weekend asking about a new pick-up date.

DOH! - I had no idea what had happened until I got Matt's PM!

Selling can be tough. Most anything I sell isn't to make money, but help out another fellow teener and hopefully bust even on the part.

I feel for you Matt. It was not a good week for parts chasing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Hang in there though. I've lost many parts the same way. Sometimes people loose track of who bought what. It happens.
