Brad,
I don't see anything wrong with what you are doing. You've been up front as far as I can tell. You've taken the risk and put forth the effort. Just try and let the bad comments slide without remarks. Obviously some people still see it as a good deal because you've sold most of them. At least these comments keep your thread near the top for more people to see.

You guys are right. I need to wear a little thicker skin. The truth will usually prevail without reacting like I did. Thanks for your support. I am new to the forum here and am still feeling out the unwritten etiquete.

Brad, you're doing just fine. Welcome to the forum and keep up the good work. This is a "Buy and Sell" forum and those that choose not to buy, don't have to.

OK, apparently a couple of things got me riled. First, I've been waiting over a month for Amazon to ship mine, and people got theirs last week by simply ordering. That and the experience of the guy buying out all the stock ahead of me at Sears... apparently to sell for profit got me focusing on Brad as the bad guy in this, when really Amazon is the devil. Anyway, I haven't nearly been as serious as he's been taking me, but anyway...

Just had a couple of beers and now I've seen the light. I've just placed my own new order on Amazon. Who knows, maybe I'll get one soon. If not, heck... I'd almost pay Brad $50 plus shipping to format one for me, even.

How about letting me fess up that I've been too hard on this guy? Yeah, nothing wrong with making a buck or two, I guess. Got to thinking, I doubt I'd put up the money he has for the measly profit in it... after all, time is money. Would I put up $1200 to make $300 after all the effort and risk involved (and putting up with the likes of me)? Prolly not.

I'm mellow now. Wife and kids went to visit friends and left dad at home. Amazing how everything gets rosy in the quiet of total stress-free existence. And those Hooters' wings I just had were good, too.

Please excuse any jerkiness you might have seen in my rants. Underneath all the jealousy, stress, ego, and hyperbole, I'm really a pretty nice guy.

Now, back to your regularly scheduled programming...

Cubfan: well done. Very professional.

Hey - I have two of these on order through a through a different vendor for $198 + ship. They were supposed to ship last Friday but didn't.

If I get them before you get yours I'll sell you one for that plus ship.

Regards,

Charlie

Thanks so much, Charlie. Amazon did say they expected to ship mine in a couple of days, but somehow I doubt their word by now.
