Getting screwed out of deals left and right on this site
I don't know what's going on lately but the etiquette on pelican 911 parts classifieds is to be desired. First case in point was a pair of Carrera spoilers for sale. I was second to comment publicly that I want them. Seller contacted me and said first in line was not replying and that he had one more hour to reply. Next day I finally managed to get PayPal address out of the guy and 2 hours later I paid via PayPal only to find out that he sold to first seller one hour earlier. Am I wrong to be pissed? Second case again I commented next in line and then someone after commented add me to the list, next day seller calls out third guy in line by name, the guy that commented after me, and says so and so you're up they are yours if you want them. I commented I think I got skipped and seller commented this site is all about the PM's. Why would I pm a seller when I am trying to politely wait my turn in line. I'm thinking it's up to the seller to say something similar to what the second guy said when he called out the third guy in line except he should have have said my name instead. Apparently third guy pm'd him and weaseled the deal. Again pissed. What the hell. Thanks for letting me rant.
