Jack, for the RECORD.....The two deals PRIOR, I CHANGED MY MIND within an hour. I had found some cash and ran to the Custom knives for sale. I saw, as always, JAXURMAN had lots of knives. I asked about a knife, you said "Yes", I said "how much", you said "$XXX". I said 'OK". Then within MINUTES, another E-mail arrived WITH A BETTER DEAL. Jack, I E-mailed you Immediately and said "I CHANGED MY MIND" I am allowed to do that, am I NOT?
Deal two, a Pierlla. Same EXACT set of circumstances. The knife in question for me to TRADE was one of my CARSON #4 Large hunters. YUP, someone ELSE gave me a BETTER offer. You got a RAPID E-mail, that I CHANGED MY MIND. In the above instances, you NEVER had to even post "deal pending".
Deal three. I send you an E-mail AFTER I saw you bought a Duncan Whiplash for $350.00. I ASKED YOU if you were interested at SOME point in seling. You said "yes". AT NO POINT WAS THIS KNIFE EVER POSTED FOR SALE. During the several weeks, I told you MANY times HOW BADLY I wanted that knife, did I NOT. You cry of your Dad's Death? You have my condolences, losing a father is TRAGIC, BUT do you HONESTLY believe YOU are the ONLY person on EARTH entitled to use PERSONAL problems as a LEGITIMATE excuse? DID I NOT inform you of my Son's Roll-over????? Did I not inform you of undergoing my 41ST SURGERY? Did I not tell you that I WANT THAT KNIFE, BUT I have only $300.00 towrds it in my "knife-fund" and when I had ALL the money, it was yours. DID YOU NOT SEND ME E-MAILS DAILY PRESSURING ME? Did you NOT tell me in order to "save face" "get back my good name", "save myself from YOU posting in GB&U that I am a punk" I best send you the $300 NOW and the other $100 in 30 days? DID I NOT tell you I could NOT guarantee I would have it in 30 DAYS? Did I not explain to you how I BUY knives and WHERE my KNIFE MONEY comes from? DID you NOT continue to PRESSURE ME? ( I still have those E-mails Jack, need I post them?)Then and ONLY then did I NOT tell you to stick the whiplash UP YOU A$$. Act like a car salesman Jack.......
So If this makes me a PUNK, IRA IS A PUNK. NO ONE needs take MY MONEY. No ONE NEEDS deal with me. As you say always jack: "MONEY TALKS and BULL$HIT WALKS". If someone has a knife and I commit, and I have the cash or a suitable trade, I have always followed thru...
Now, this whole issue has to do with a BUZZ word. IT shall always haunt you. If you "wheel and deal" as you wheel and deal, your LOVE for knives, that I KNOW is DEEP gets overshawdowed by your "car salesman like approach"
So lets do the poll, or just belly up to the Bar Jack and end this OLD dance.....Ira the PUNK
