Continuation of the discussion around MachineGunned's for sale thread ...
Why have the discussion buried where people might not see it. I think it needs to be seen where deals are being made, not where people go to check after the fact.
I would be tolerant if it wasn't for the fact that he never responded to me (I know he read my PM) and also posted more books to sale after he should have already shipped the books. So he’s been on the forums and could have easily said he was behind on shipping, which would have been fine.
I was givent two different shipping dates. He missed the first date, no worries. I understand it happens. The second date has passed and he's not responding. I don't think I'm jumping the gun, there’s a lot of red flags that I’ve looked passed and given him the benefit of the doubt on. Not shipping my books on the promised date, or even telling me he’s running behind, is not something I can overlook when dealing with an unproven seller.
Which is why I made the deal, even though my gut told me not to.
I know the situation will work itself out, but until it does I'd hate to see someone else pay for books and endure what those of us who have already paid are dealing with.
Bottom line - when MachineGunned comes through, I will gladly appologize to him, on these forums, for having any doubts and will vouch for him. Until that happens, I think it's fair of us to express our concerns here as a warning for other potential buyers.
