I have a Microtech Halo III up for sale for $200. It's like new but no box or sheath.
Here's how it went down with swong13 :
7/6
He emails and asks if I would accept $180 for it since it didn't have the box or a sheath.
(I counter-offered that I would take $185 if I could ship it First Class insured rather than Priority Mail insured.)
-------------------------
7/7
I get an email from him: "I am a little short right now. I will get back to you soon. Hold it for me for a few days please. Thanks."
(I was a little bit irritated that he TOLD me to hold it for him and wasn't sure how I wanted to handle the situation yet, so I didn't reply.)
------------------------------
7/8 At this point I've got 3 other people who've emailed me wanting to buy the knife, but I don't know what I should do about swong13. So I email him:
"Hi. I wanted to make sure you were still serious about buying my Halo III for
$185 shipped First Class mail? Another guy wants to make me the same deal this
morning, so if you don't want it or can't come up with the money for a while let
me know and I'll let it go to him. But if it's only a couple days I can wait for
you. Thanks. -Jim (fulloflead)"

7/9 He replies:
"Do you accept paypal?"
(I say yes, shoot me your address and I'll get the package ready.)
-----------------------------
7/12
Nothing. No payment. Haven't heard from him. I'm selling it to someone else IF the other people are even still interested...
In any case. This isn't REALLY bad feedback - just the kind of thing that irritates people and I thought people might want to know about this fella's rude way of doing things.
I'm sure I'll still sell it to someone; I just feel a little jerked around. That's all.
