Ok i am finally going to chime in here.
First, I let you know at 6:23 on thursday when i arrived at the super 8 in salisbury. The guy bringing the tires form PA, had arrived around 615ish, i can not say exactly for i was not there yet. I offered to meet you in Kannapolis, which is 23 miles from where we are staying, around half of the 49 miles between where i am and where (MIDWAYJEREMY) lives. I was going to pay the fuel for the guy selling the tires in order to make the deal.
Meaning i'm going to pay fuel to sell tire, that i'm not getting money for.
You responded with wanting me to bring them an extra 16-19 miles from Kannapolis.
As far as the timeline, i told you we were going to eat dinner, and make the deal afterward.
I told you i was trying to be understanding and was willing to meet you half way. I'm not going to go completely out of the way 49 miles each way, to deliver tires for the extra $50 dollars you offered.
at 930, I offered to deliver them for $100, that way your issues with getting a trailer, and the issues with your g/f's truck, wouldn't be an issue at all.
But, That was not a good enough deal for you.
And, I never agreed to anything thursday night, we were making no progress on making a deal, so i simply said, I'll all you tomorrow.
Your comment about me being uncourteous (sp?) over a text is entirely hypocritical. You cannot accuately converse over a TEXT message. I continued to text you throughout the process because i soon realized, when i told you to call me, you texted. This is the entire problem at its roots. You are trying to make a deal, over a TEXT message!!! That is not a very good way to communicate about a deal on something of that value. I hate texting, but i will do it, to try to make someone else happy, if thats what they want to do.
Keep in mind everyone at home in tv land, These were not my tires. The final word on all decisions were to the owner of the tires, I was merely trying to help him out by getting them sold.
Also, $1200 for 5 tires and 5 beadlocks was the deal, and you knew the one tire was cut. One of the tires was practically brand new, the other 3 good ones and the cut one were all at 90% or better. If you dont think that is a deal, then i have nothing further to say.
The 2nd buyer in line called me back. Not texted me
, but called me. He showed initiative that he truly wanted to make a deal, and he came and picked them up.
Midwayjeremy. As soon as i told you we didn't have a deal and they were sold, you started talking crap, saying i'm a piece of
. Also, I really do not appreciate you threatening me by saying, and I quote " you were going to take it out on my ass."
I'm not going to play childish games, and talk crap about someone like some high school drama, or jersey shore jerk offs.
I've dealt with enough people on the forums, that 9 times out of 10, if someone is unsure of details, or waivering on how they want to meet to make a deal, then they are probably going to back out in the long run. And usually by that time, i've lost the sale not only to the first in line, but also to the second, and possibly the third. This is all due to me trying to be nice and understanding and wait for the first to show interest, to actually make a deal, and wasting my time in the long run.
When i texted "money talks, bullshit walks" - that means I'll try to make a deal with the first in line, but i'm not going to completely lose a sale at all over waiting on a waivering buyer.
When i buy something, and i know someone has a deal on something, I'll do anything and everything to accomidate the seller, and make the deal. If i would have been in your shoes, I would have found a way to get to the tires or meet me ASAP to make the deal.
I'm not going to ruin my entire plans for the weekend in order to meet you on your schedule and your location, when you are the buyer. ESPECIALLY not when someone else is offering to PICK THEM UP WITH NO DRAMA.
My .02.
Some people are going to agree with me, and some are going to disagree. Thats fine with me and thats the nature of the beast.
I completely agree with you jeremy, verbal agreements dont mean
these days, and what makes a deal is when someone pays someone for an item or service.
In all honesty, I hope everyone on the board reads this thread and maybe will realize when you want to buy something, and its a deal, that you go get it, and make the deal, or someone else will.
Jeremy, rant and rave, talk crap about me all you want. I do not care, because you are now truly showing me your character, and honestly i'm glad i didn't make a deal with you, now that i see your personality. It makes me laugh reading your texts from today, while you are trying to be a middle school bully. I hope you learned something, because I know i did.
