If you didn't do a deal with him you had no business leaving i-trader. You did not do the deal, for whatever reason, so there is no i-trader to report. Vindictive use of i-trader has resulted in banning, essentially you were mad and wanted to extract a measure of revenge because he backed out of a deal (your story).
I know Dave and have a great respect for him and the way he conducts business. He is a long term member who is knowledgeable and respected.If you two did not consummate a deal you had in the works it is no big deal. I have had that happen to me more times than I could count here, and maybe even been responsible for a few the other way too. The fact is, you have your cue, and you lost nothing.
Time for you to get over it and move on, quit whining over spilled milk and buck up.
First of all thank Tommy for your kind words. I do appreicate it very much.
I was going out stay out of this, Randy is pissed.
I made a deal with Randy, I thought about it. I contacted him ASAP, and said I would pass on the cue, less than 18hrs. after making the deal. So I did'nt leave him hanging.
I explained that I changed my mind and I would not buy the cue. I did this is in a timely manner so he could repost that cue is back on the market.
I think he sold the cue the next day? He expeirenced no $$$ damage by my change of mind.
He said some things to me, I thought where abit over the top. But it's a free country, so he had his say. I thought that would be the end of the matter.
A few days later he sends me a pm, with things that bordered on scolding me, as if I where his child. I thought this stuff was way over the over the top.
I did not reply to the pm, I let him have his say again. But I guess that was'nt enought for him.
He then posted a negitive i-trader for this non-transaction. No money changed hands, we only talked about the deal on the phone. I did'nt know you could do this, but it was done.
I responed in the only manner I could think of was to in kind voice my opnion. That I thought "Seller was unreasonable". I did not want to post negitive i-trader. I saw no other way to responed to his actions. I was not going to get into a bickering contest via pm's. I still will not.
This will be my only response to his post. My reputation on this forum, and other pool realated forums will speak for itself.
I wish everyone (including Randy) nothing but the best.
Life is too short.
....kinda funny know because i can see were i went wrong with the way i dealed with him...but you can only take so many reasons for this and that at the time the deal is going on...i hope you fell better and maybe a pm to the other party might make you fill better and yall can settle it so you will fill better..someone once told me you can catch more bees with honey then vinegar...but all i had to offer at that time was a bunch of vinegar..:smile:
