    Was supposed to be Toy Story Ultimate Toy Box...

    javax.swing was the Seller on October 9, 2004 RedFlagDeals

    Pickup location/time arranged for Toy Story Ultimate Toy Box DVD. I was offering to pay his asking price. I showed up at pickup location, tried calling Bart 4 times on his cell, he did not reply; I left 4 messages. Waited around 40 minutes, Bart didn't show. I went home, checked my PMs, found out that Bart had sold the DVD set to another buyer who offered him a better price. He sent the PM at 10:52AM; we were supposed to meet between 12:00 and 1:00PM at a pickup spot which is almost an hour and a half away from my house. I had told Bart the evening before when we setup the deal that I would be downtown from 9am-1pm (without access to a computer).

    Long and the short of it, he stood me up because I was *only* offering him his asking price. Ethically, once you've made a deal with someone and arranged pickup time/place, it's as good as sold. Not only did he make a deal with someone else, he didn't give me enough notice to know not to show up to do the deal, so I wasted 2xTTC (transit) fare ($4.50CAD) and over an hour of my time waiting and getting to/from the pickup location.

    He admitted all of this in an RFD thread, so this is 100% fact, 0% speculation.

    Bart, I hope the extra $15 you got by selling it to someone else was worth this negative. Everyone knows that when people read feedback, they read the negatives first.

    Response from Raptor235
    yes I'm again very sorry I made a stupid rookie mistake and it won't happen again... I was also at work when I did this rushing and it didn't help and I just made a mistake. Sorry once again I offered a discount on other dvds for your trouble and you declined... I understand why but belive me I am sorry.
