Cut right to the chase Chris. Good perspective, and a VERY well thought out post!! REP to you for - IMO, hitting the nail on the head.

Thank you for all of your imput, I think I'll just give the money back to Milpeach and let the DR collect it from him...since he sold the table to him in the first place, it's up to the DR to collect it:wink:

that's cool
That's cool, after all you didn't put anything in writing you just gave your word to deliver the table and transfer the money to the seller. It isn't like there was a written contract that he can wave at you. Prove just what your word is worth.

Just send the DR his money, be done with this b.s. and move on with your life.
That would be my suggestion.
It's official...nobody else claims they were. Just a bunch of mouthbreathers with no life and too much free time wasting bandwidth.
You need to hire a PR firm because you are dogging your brains out every time you post.
One thing I've learned is when someone says "Call me only, cash hand delivered is the way I'll do business." raises a big red flag. It says this way there will be no paper trail so to speak. Since you mentioned nothing in writing. Another red flag was you saying he didn't pay you. This I find hard to believe as why would you even get the table and begin to deliver it without being payed. What the real story sounds like to me is the good doctor got tired of waiting for it then said "Eff it, I got someone who wants it and it on the way here (NJ). You got paid then footdragged around, now you have to "get the money around"?? when you've been outed on here in an attempt to save face. This is just my opinion on how I see things. For the record I give a rats pooter either way, just the way I see it.
Peanut gallery. LOLz

Glen was a guest at my house for four days while he worked on my table, and in that time I came to consider him a friend. For that reason, seeing his name dragged through the mud in this thread really disturbs me.
Glen has been one of the best contributors on AZB, mainly on the mechanics board. He doesn’t just spout opinions or blow his own horn - he actually helps people, especially other mechanics (take a look at what he’s done on the mechanics board). When he was at my house he took numerous calls from people asking his advice or instructions on how to do something, which he is just too happy to give. My impression is that he is a very generous guy who loves what he does and he doesn’t care too much about money.
He’s been caught up short here because he operates on “Glen time”, that’s just his way. I’m sure he never intended to keep the money – in his mind the delivery was probably just around the corner. But the demand for his services is nationwide and greatly outweighs his ability to deliver, so he bounces from one place to the next trying to satisfy the demand. Delivering doctorb98’s money slipped – for what appears to be 5 or 6 months. He has offered to make up for it by recovering doctorb98’s table with 860 for free – that’s a pretty fantastic interest rate in today’s market. I guess Glen has been wrong in this case, but the moralizing by people on this board – all of whom, it seems, have never met him - is a bit sickening.
Glen is to pool tables what Ernie Gutierrez is to cues or Mike Sigel is to pool (choose your own favorites), but you don’t see these guys coming on this board to help people. Glen doesn’t have to do it - his problem is too much business. He just enjoys being the pool table “go to” guy and helping people with his expertise. For all his contributions, what does he get? He gets all this moralizing and pontificating. On occasion I’ve done it myself when I didn’t know the people, but I won’t do it again.
Glen is very accessible – he publishes his phone number and always takes calls. doctorb98 should have called him before starting all this sh*t. But then that would have denied the spectators the chance to get on their high horses.

Money doesn't matter so losing customers is no big deal to you but no one can honestly claim that they don't care if all their peers have lost respect for their character so I do feel sorry for you.
Btw in the past 6 months he could have invested that $3000 in my company's stock like I did and cash out now for $75,000.

Now I am really confussed!
Why would you do that?
The only logical reason for that approach to this situation is to PUNISH the doctor and make the delivery time even longer on his MONEY!
I hope you understand this paints a bad picture and makes people think you are extremely mean spirited by going that route to further the MAN's delay in getting his money.
Better yet send it via camel back across the desert first so you can say it is in perpetual route to him. Then have it cross the ocean and hope it makes it past somali via a pirate ship and hopefully finds its way via carrier pigeon to the right house!!!
Look...new or not, I think I've heard just about enough from you.
The next time you pop up on my radar, you'll get a break from the board.
