When I read this initial post early this AM I saw this headed in a very bad direction for the OP. Opening the post by telling people you are an attorney, is going to lead most to believe that you think pretty highly of yourself, and you believe that you are smarter than most of those around this fire. If that is the case, that type of arrogance is not going to sit well with most, regardless of if they have had dealings with Mark or not.

I have dealt with Mark on two separate times, and with one, it did take a little more time to get the items than I expected. However, it didn't make any difference to me when I got them, and he kept me appraised of what was going on. Regardless, there was never a doubt in my mind that things would have been made right in the end. The first transaction with him was flawless. Based on now hearing both sides of the story, it sounds to me like the OP should have just decided that he should have chalked this up as an experience he was not comfortable with, and left it lie. However, maybe arrogance would not allow that. I have no dog in this fight, just voicing my observations I guess.

The one thing that I do think could very easily be overlooked is the fact that this whole disagreement is over an early Winchester model 71 long tang that was selling for 1000.00. Haven't seen pics of that rifle, but I do know that Mark told me about it when we were dealing during the above mentioned contacts. Maybe I should have inquired a little further at that time. I don't know how many folks have looked at the Winchester 71's and their pricing, but if that rifle was a solid, honestly used rifle, that is certainly a fair buy IMO. I don't think that I would have been quite so eager to terminate that agreement if Mark was simply saying he wanted to make sure it was gtg.

This applies far more to you than anyone else in this thread including Mark. The rest of your babble isn't worth repeating.

A lawyer friend once told me to never sell a lawyer anything of significant value because if he becomes dissatisfied he can sue you for free.

Pretty funny, this fugging putz screws Mark over twice, once by reneging on the 99 and once by cancelling the check and he has the balls to try to portray Mark as the bad guy here.
John Boy, I think you may be right about this loser being a politician in waiting.

Nice try Counselor!

Seems as though Mark has developed some loyal friends here at the 'Fire.

Mark invests himself in his dealings and MAKES friends, and therefore deserves the benefit of the doubt whenever anything like this comes up. He does a good job.
The lawyer on the other hand is just a cheapo pot-shot sniper that thinks his wit and "superior" intellect will carry him when his character fails him.

By the way Yalie, if you're going to prosecute this properly please add the EXACT time to go with your dates. you might sway the public opinion, but don't hold your breath..........

This self-outing thread should more aptly be titled "The Yalie/Chris Bemis Experience".

Highly doubtful the OP is a product of Yale Law School as inferred.

The claim of 'breach of contract' is as meritless as it is humorous.

Communication is often the problem in deals gone bad here in spite of all the best intentions.

I'm no lawyer, but my understanding is that not only a breach of contract but consequent damages are together required in order for the claimant to prevail in a court of law. The OP did not suffer any damages as far as I can tell from the presentation. So, the OP can GFY.

I have dealt with Mark on two separate occasions, and both went off flawlessly. I cannot speak to the character of the OP, but Mark is GTG in my book and I would not hesitate to deal with him again.

I have pictures of the Model 71, and Mark's description was much harsher than the condition of the rifle. We traded pistols, what I received was in better condition than he described. Look up Mark's posts and the replies, his reputation in the Campfire is well known, and well respected.

I'll take Mark's word and his back, any time, any where.

I'll trade with safariman any time. I've enjoyed his posts and anybody can tell by reading them that he is one of the good guys and that he truly cares. Yalie just earned a spot on my ignore list. 2nd one today, BTW.
