Some may recall I posted a few days back about a deal gone south with this member. I'll recap. Said he wanted watch but wanted to use Money Order. I said OK on his promise to send out a M.O. priority with tracking. This was a Saturday afternoon so he said he would do it first thing Monday. Then he PMed asking if I would take Western Union. I said let's keep it with the M.O. Monday comes and goes and nothing. Tuesday nothing. I send a PM looking for info. Nothing Wednesday either so I make my post here. Well I guess that got his attention be cause he PMed me repeatedly begging me to take down my post as he had a family emergency. So I did. He then proceeds to ask if he can still buy the watch after I have told him we are no longer dealing together. He practically begs me to sell him the watch as he really wants it and this was a true family emergency. He tells me he will send Western Union that afternoon (Friday). I finally accept. At 12:58 yesterday he tels me to send my information. I do so at 1300... And surprise of surprises!! Guess what?? I haven't heard from him since. I do not understand the though process involved in making up a bunch of garbage, begging to buy the piece and the flaking out... again. My experience is watch deals are all about honesty and communication. This clown has no hopes of demonstrating either of these characteristics. I suppose I'll get a flurry of PMs sometime soon with another excuse. Too bad, there is no excuse for not being able to keep your word... twice. 3T members I would steer wide of this member who I have a feeling will not be a member too much longer.

thanks for the info, one of the reasons for this place for me is the high percentages of safe transactions. There is too much scamming on the internet and I've had a couple of deals happen to me. Now I am much more careful and value info such as this in helping me steer clear as much as possible. Peter

Pax - even in the internet age, trust is won over a long time, and lost in a heartbeat. I have been there, but my losses have so far just been of time, not money. I can't understand why it is that people get off on baffling with bulls**t, when all they need to do is stay away. My favourites that have actually happened to me so far are: 1. "...please take it off the sales forums and hold it for me and then I will send you the money in a week*, a month* (insert time of your choice)..." - and then they don't get back to you; 2. "...sorry, I thought I could buy it but my baby needs braces and I had to lend my son the money to fix his PC..."; and: 3. "...I will pay you double what you are asking to send the watch to Nigeria...". Please!!!!  Scumbags deserve to be outed. I hope this one realises that all it takes in this big world is to keep your word. OK - so some deals don't work out for legit reasons. I have pulled one or two of those myself, usually because the SELLER changes the deal on me the second I am about to pay (for example - in a recent "almost" transaction, the seller changed his mind, didn't want to include the bracelet but still wanted the same money, so I pulled out) but I think that is fair. We both had choices. It is when someone says that they will do or not do something and they break their word (in your case - twice!!) that you just have to scratch your head, cut your losses and move on. But leave a message of warning for your 3T mates ;) Thank you - noted - you did good. Two shaftings by the one guy is enough - don't give him a third opportunity. I do note that the "flurry of e-mails" you mention has not happened. Lesson learned now, Brayden? Cheers - IanM
