I don't really see what's bad enough about what happened to publicly call a fella out for it.
Things didn't work out like he anticipated and he let you know instead of keeping you in limbo.
It's aggravating on your end but it's not like the other guy tried to get one up on you. Amen you said it perfect. Let it go and move on

I can understand a warning if someone flat out lied to you, but to me on this deal it just seems like the buyer was counting his chickens before they hatched, but I do not see where he mislead you in any way shape or form, and it has only been 2 days since you last heard from him.
I could understand if you sent the merchandise, and were expecting a payment, but as long as you still have it in your possesion I do not see a problem.
This is just my opinion YMMV.

It does'nt seem to be that way, If you read the replys on the thread, I'm in the wrong according to them.
I guess their is very few real people left : Winnie1300, 1minute, slumlord, Miss Lynn, Rock Chuck :)Thanks

The way I see it you are pissed at yourself for agreeing to something you knew you shouldnt have agreed to, and now you are trying to save face. Hell you posted your entire PM exchange. For [bleep] sake just relist the damn thing and wash the sand outta your crotch.

And another thing I don't post much but, I read alot and all over this form is b!tch, moans and complaints about this politician or that politician not doing what they said they were going to do and everybody on here is up in arms. Yet when some person gives his word and then does not follow through it is no biggy. Well I think alot of you guys should start looking inside at your own ethics before you B!tch about the politicians. Because if we are not accountable for our own actions then how can we expect our politicians to be? It is a slippery road you drive. Have a good night.

You should have just taken his gun for your gun straight across trade. That way is could have been immediate without delay. I don't believe in swapping dollars for goods in any way. Barter for your goods and cut out the middle men that hold the money.

what would that solve, you have more than likely spent more time on this thread trying to warn everybody about a guy that told you straight up from the beginning his purchase was dependant on the sale of his own rifle. His deal fell through, chit happens, it was completely spelled out in the pm's that you posted.
I have no reason to go to Billings, but if your feeling up to it I am at the expressway suites room 122 Bismarck ND.

I'm sorry Kinsman, can't see this as a reason to call a guy out. He explained his situation to you from the beginning. Relist the gun and move on. You're making this into an issue of "honor" and "morals". Where did he go wrong? He said he would like the gun but didn't have the money at the moment. You agreed to wait. He's kept you informed throughout, explaining that he was trying to get the money. You agreed to keep waiting, at any point you could have said enough. But instead you decide to b!tch about it publicly.
Deal with it.

No harm, no foul.
So, we're all cool with posting PMs when nothing dastardly occurred?
I forget; is the "P" in PM for private or just personal?

I guess I'm not real either. I can see why you are frustrated, but look it like this. He made you an offer that was clearly contingent on the sale of his gun. You accepted it, with that in mind. His gun sale hasn't consummated; he can't buy your rifle, but that's according to the framework you guys laid out. Or so it appears to me. It doesn't seem to rate a public flogging. Good luck selling your rifle!

This is not a tragic story. You did not lose money. Your fault for agreeing to wait. First person with cash wins in my book. Ding ding ding ding ding!

The guy just could not raise the funds to buy. Sounds like he informed you of his inability to pay in a timely manner. It was a calculated decision on your part to hold it for a period of time. It has not worked out so just re-post it in the classifieds and move on. Sounds like his only crime is wanting something he is unable to pay for. He was even apologetic maybe even embarrassed.
