Get F*****
anyone looking here for information can draw their own conclusion. I will never deal with Pageophile (Garry) again. In the span of 5 days he went form cordial to a complete wanker.
The only feedback you are showing is from itrader and it's over a year old.blackscout said:I posted this so others can read this experience and draw their own conclusions. I have over 100 forum deals and this is the first problem of this kind.
Esav,
It is very unfortunate. for all of the deals I have done through Blade forums (there have been many) This is the only one to go south. I am only 39 and quite healthy (I thought) so this was quite a scare. I am very sorry that I could not put Garry and this deal at the top of my list. I have had a real reality check. I have a wife and a 5 yr old son and this is the first time I have ever thought about what it would be like for them if I was not here. I had fully intended to complete the deal. I did want the watch but as I said in one of my last emails, I did check my email form the coffee shop. Glad I did.

also do pay attention to the time line this all happened in less than 5 days.

ps- you also tried to lowball the seller. bad form.
just one more time to try to clear the confusion ( I still will no longer be part of this forum).
- I negotiated a price with the seller. not possible to pay that day.
- next day emailed the seller on how to complete payment. EMT recomended. Online check if this was possible. Not currently from my account. thought there would be no problem going to the bank the next day.
- early that morning I passed out and had a "seizure" If you need proof It could be supplied but since I am not on trial....
Spent the better part of the next day in ER and getting tests, I was also told by the ER doctor that I cannot drive as it may happen again without warning.
-the next morning I was at the hospital for a EEG at 8am. At 10 am I went to the bank. Teller had to look up how to do a EMT. I was told that I need to set up telephone banking (I have online banking set up why that was not good enough I don't know).
-I went home and emailed Garry that EMT had to be set up and would take 48 hours to clear. I offered a MO. I also told him that I had a prescheduled concrete pour and I would do my best but likely would not make the bank that day Thurs. I got the MO Friday morning and check my email like I said I would. I got Garry's ignorant email at that time. He let me know he would be relisting and saying something negative.
- at that point I declined to sent the MO. I think many of you would do the same.
This is the last time I will try to defend myself. I intended to buy the watch. I do not live in or even close to town. I have done close to 100 transactions with out incident. The bad taste is in my mouth this will be my last transaction through Blade forums. I thought with in the 5 days having completed the transaction under the circumstances would be acceptable. It was a used watch and not a mater of life and death (which is the other thing I went through) If a moderator would like to see a copy of the hospital papers I would be able to arrange that.
As to the reaction from the member that chose to jump on the band wagon and condemn me you already know what I have to say. I would be interested to see how you would react in my shoes.
Sincerly, Chris Scott
