What would you do

[deermanok]

I was checking the for sale ads on the other muzzleloader site, looking for a particular part when I found a guy selling several items as a package deal.
I contacted him asking if he would sell the one part I'm interested in.
In the meantime, I contacted the gun works/muzzleloading emporium. They have the same part, brand new for 50 bucks.
The guy finally got back to me with a price on his used part. He wants 45 bucks for it.
I messaged him back and said, ah, I appreciate your time.
The guy messaged me back this morning and said that I WASTED HIS TIME !
I messaged him back and told him to keep his part.
I just don't get people. If I have something for sale, I don't expect someone to jump on it. No hard feelings, life is too short.

I wouldn’t do anything. Some people are just Aholes and wake up in the morning looking for someone to fight.

 

[CatamountRob]

Just move on.

 

[deermanok]

Just move on.

For sure, it's all good.

I'd smile to myself knowing that while this person lashed out at me the person he was going to punish all day was himself.

You could always write back and say, well you wasted my time considering I can get a brand new part for 5 bucks more. Good luck with your sale.

But we all know its just best to shake your head and move on. How you wasted his time is beyond my comprehension. It took him a minute, or less, to respond.

 

[Jitterbug]

Just move on.

Yep… this. Life IS too short!

He must be pretty busy, and/or important...

He might have reason to be a little disappointed, but didn’t need to be a jerk, over losing a sale on a $50 part. Someone else will buy it…

 

[JIMYJAC]

Aggravating but a response is a waste of your time. A head shaker though. Take the high road and move on

 

[deermanok]

That dude wouldn't leave it alone.
He messaged me again to say that he wasn't here to subsidize my hobbies.
Oh well, my loss.
I told him to have a nice day.
I promise to try not to piss anybody else off, at least for today. Lol

That guy has some anger issues! Best at this point to have his emails sent to spam and if its text messages mute the conversation and block his number.

 

[D55]

He is probably mad because someone else is getting (your) money and not him. Seems it wasn't a waste of time for him to post his add. Here's to hoping his parts rust away unsold.

I would have spent my money with The Gun Works, they are good folks and family run.

Other guy, phooey on him.

 

[michiganmuzzy]

I kind of want to know who he is so i can avoid him and anything he sells in the future. You could let the admin know that he is harassing you. They may have had problems with him already. That type of person usually has a history of sketchy behavior and can be weeded out.

 

[MTY]

Or we could all inquire as to availability and make absurd offers. I should be ashamed of myself.

Being angry is always bad medicine.

MTY, you’re naughty.

You’re also pretty funny!

Hes saying out loud what some of us were thinkin

If this was on the sister forum I can fully understand. There seems to be a lot of folks with attitudes over there over nothing, to me anyway...don't visit very often.

Yes sir it is. I really don't get some of those guys over there.
I really feel at home here on this site. All you guys here, show respect for one another and help each other out.

 

[deerlessbob]

Just be glad you aren’t him.
