SPF to Shootinurse.
Shootinurse had offered to buy and I had already accepted by the time Dave said "I'll take it". So, it was already a done deal.

Then why did you not post the item as sold? That was hours ago?

My bad George. He should have posted the item as being sold, if it in fact, was. The first "I'll take it". gets it. It ain't that hard to understand. Dave was the first, was he not? It is no wonder so much schit goes on in the classifieds, and why Rick finds it a PITA. There are too many here who are too mentally challenged to use it....

I don't like the PM thing on classified's as they can get screwy. A simple post on the thread goes a loooong way in avoiding confusion.

If you get PM'ed and reach an agreement, post the item as sold right then. It ain't that hard........

Well...unless maybe he pm'd a trade offer or something...who knows, I guess I've done the PM and the public route depending on the deal. J

Please don't get down on jrh. I PM'd him on offer and he was prompt in returning my message. Unfortunately, I had left for several hours and didn't get his reply. Then e-mailed him information. Seems that he posted promptly, til I read the posts between mine and his. When I read his reply, I probably should have jumped on and said that we had reached a deal. Just miscommunication and timing, that's all.
Sorry,
Mike

Then why did you not post the item as sold? That was hours ago? Just because shootinurse sent a PM hours ago doesn't mean that I actually got it then nor does it mean the deal was finalized. I did notify Dave that a sale was pending and then again once the deal was done. He didn't seem to have a problem with it, so I don't know why you do. I also posted an SPF here as soon as the deal was complete, so in my opinion, you're speaking out of line. Brad, Jason - I too prefer a public "I'll take it", but didn't specify that in the ad, so I had to live with the way it went down. Since the barrel sold for less than my asking price, you could say the only injured party here is me. John

Suffice to say we should all hold a standard that an I'll take it posted clear as day on the forum trumps any offers via PM.
