Yep. I hate it happened to you and your son. But that's life dealing with folks on the internet. I've had folks swear up and down they want something. And leave me hanging. I don't sell out from under someone who is on their way. And if I do sell something, I atleast let an interested party know. But no time was wasted on either party. But if someone is in front of me with cash, they can have it. I've been burnt WAYYYYYYYYYYY to many times to do otherwise.

Recent screwings....
- I had a &*$^@(&&head from Decatur call me about a Jeep engine I was looking for. The deal was perfect. I could hear it run and drive it. He was going to call me the next morning when he got home. And I was going to drive up and pick itup. Hell, I was even going to help him take it out. Bad part about it was I was going the next morning to Jemison and look at another one. So I called that guy that night and told him what I found. No big deal for him. It was early enough noone lost anything or time on it. Piece of S..from Decatur never called. Wouldn't answer his phone. So I ended up buying the one from Jemison.. Long story on that junk one too. The @#$@#$ from Decatur called me a week later...I told him what he could do.

-I'm selling alot of my Jeep YJ parts since I'm putting a LS engine in it. I posted all the parts I'm not using online. Some POS who thinks his word is gold.. wanted the motor mounts. You know...since your just going to hack them out..I need em. I spent time and effort in getting them out so they could be used. Then the gold worded POS never got with me. Started giving me crap about me not being available and not waiting long enough. Normally, I wouldn't have waited. But he wanted other things and seemed like a good guy. I was available at ANY time and waited on the POS for almost a month. He's probably on Aldeer...if he reads this.....you can KISS my A$$$$.

Nothing you can do about it. I just vent to my wife and let it go. Lots of other guns out there. It may even be a blessing to you. That gun could have been junk and you end up finding a better deal on one.
