grrr...
cross forum grumble - skip if you want.
I picked up a home-built double layer hammock a few months back with built in skeeter netting, whoopie slings, ridge-line, etc... for a decent price. hung it on the front porch and tried it out - and came to the quick realization it was made for someone shorter than me.
There was a visiting Canadian airman down this way and he was interested -- but didn't decide so until after he was back home.
So i shipped it to him to try out -- he liked it and wanted to buy. all is well and good.
We had an agreed on price. He was happy, I was happy.
3 weeks and no $$$ - so I dropped him a line.
he said he had a knife he'd be willing to trade me but I would owe him $$ difference -- I said no but gave him a list of things I would be interested in.
a week later i get a PM -- how much did we agree on and what's your PP account?
I replied same day.
3 weeks later I send HIM a PM asking if he lost my address again -- he apologizes and promises to get the $$ sent ASAP.
another week goes by and nada -- today i get another PM: he took it camping over the weekend and decided he doesn't like it that well after all, amazingly enough the things I originally said I was not totally keen on with the thing due to it not being long enough for a person over 5' 10" or so now bother him -- what's my shipping address.
so now, 2 full months after I had the first "$$ is heading your way this week" PM, supposedly he will be boxing the hammock back up and sending it back. Wonder if it'll show in time for the gathering?
