I'm tired of buyers getting all indignant over saying they want an item, and (MY mistake, I know) assuming they REALLY want it and I ship it out, as a favor, w/o giving them the price to ship and tell them AFTER I've taken the time to box it up, take it to the shipper, ship it, remember, they SAID they wanted it, and then give them the total and then they want to renegotiate the price. What's happened to common decency? I "thought" this community would be somewhat insulated from this type of behavior. Guess I was wrong. I know we all had to start somewhere. Maybe it was different when I joined up over 9 years ago? Well, because I'm old, or maybe because I'm not willing to waste my time anymore selling to newbies, I'm DONE selling to them. I don"t have to sell parts. I sure as hell don't do this for a living thankfully, and if I have something someone wants, I'll be happy to do so IF I recognize your username, or have dealt with you in the past or you've been around for more than 5 posts. I'm HAPPY to impart any knowledge I've gained through the years from here or the EarlyS, where I mainly hang out. Like I said, I'm old. Rant over......
