Ok everyone I will fess up... even if it ruins my rep.. its still honesty.
I was the "friend" that Kyelin mentioned with his transaction with Chimmy.
I guess what had happened is that I made an offer a bit after Chimmy did, which was a bit higher. But at the time, I did not have a user name. I was waiting for ADMIN approval. So, I did all of this via email.
Anyway, I had no idea there was a transaction pending (between Kyelin and Chimmy), nor was I a friend. But Kyelin and I did make a deal.
But a day later, my wife came on to see the cue in question because I told her I was buying out of country (she knows allot about this because of her profession).
Now when she seen the thread, she noticed all the discussion about backing out of a deal, and Chimmys frustration (Which I had not been aware of yet). So, being the boss that she is... basically I was served an ultimatum. Buy the cue... be in the dog house for an extended period of time.
So I sent Kye an email informing him that I would not be purchasing the cue, and explained to him why. The response I got back was that I "played him out".
But I still feel as if I did the right thing because I didn't begin the mess that is here now. I didn't try to pull out of a deal for $100 bucks or so, nor did I lie.
Integrity is sometimes all we have, so I feel obligated to post this. Sure I could have sat back in the shadows and never said a thing and no one would have known.. but I had to get this off of my continence.
Plus $take Hor$e gave me one heck of a deal on a SW.
I hope all goes well for this guy... he never did anything wrong to me and was a very nice guy. I just don't think what happened was right, even if I were to get the cue, as I never knew him and was never a friend.
