This is my take on the situation-
Sold the cue, and had his friend mail it out and then went on a business trip. While thinking everything was fine, he then found out that the cue hadn't been shipped at all. (not very good judgement on A.'s part, but understandable) Tries to get ahold of friend, and can't. Can't do anything until he gets back from trip. He then locates cue, but has to leave on business again, so he has his mom ship it out. (Didn't learn much the first mistake, but had to get it out, and couldn't do it himself. How many of us wouldn't trust our mom?? Should have given explicit instructions on how to do it though, and should of had insurance on it. I don't think he realized that at the time. I think this was a big learning curve for him).
Cue doesn't arrive. Now what?? It's shipped.?? Shows date for shipping, but doesn't arrive in reasonable amount of time. Gets flamed to a very well done on here.
At this point, he fails to show a tracking #. BIG mistake on his part. Now, shows proof of delivery. And says that it will show the date he said. Only a complete moron would say that if it wasn't true. Will be verified today by buyer.
To me, this shows he was telling the truth all along. Made some pretty poor judgement calls, but is not the thief he was portrayed on here to be.
Granted, I may be jumping the gun a little here, because the seller hasn't reported in yet. But, I feel apologies are in order by some. How many of us haven't made really bone-head mistakes before?? I'm just rather surprised and dissapointed that so few have commented about his last posts.
