Read the posting again. The forum was the only way to get the buyers name, ebay won't share it and Mickey obviously was just playing an immature game or he would have approached me about buying it on the forum so WE would have benefitted by 2.5% donation.Dustin Rigsby wrote:Mickey isn't nescessarily my hero,however, airing your bad eBay laundry is the greatest waste of bandwidth there is. eBay has conflict resolution and I suggest you take it there. People back out of deals all the time. It's happened to me on several occasions....no use in crying over spilled milk. I've seen some of your previous postings and on one with the zum hybrid I had trouble understanding. None the less I wasn't interested I your wares so no skin off my large backside.... I'm not against buying and selling or making profit, it's the way of the free market,but, NO WHINING ALLOWED !

Dude, let it go. The stress, the tension, the negativity, the anger...trust me it's going to be ok. If a feud over the internet gets me worked up I put away the iphone, get outside in the sunshine and make a friend.Andy Eder wrote:This goes out to all who have posted.
PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE LETTER.
Somebody using the name Michael, thier eBay ID (jetdriver841) made a best offer on my zum D10 yesterday night plus the listing said $150 for shipping and insurance etcetera so although the offer was a little bit low I decided to take it so I accepted it and then I sent him an invoice through eBay and didn't hear anything for a day so I sent him a regular message just trying to make sure that he intended to go through with the deal and I got a message back saying that his "customer" didn't want to pay for the shipping and that if I would ship it for free, that he would buy it and then after thinking it over I decided that I would eat the shipping and I wrote back to him and told him that I would do that all the while thinking I'm talking to someone named Michael.
He never identified himself as Mickey Adams until I asked who jetdriver841 was on the forum and the first 2 first posters give me his name.
He could have bought it on the forum so you would have gotten your 2.5% donation but instead made an offer on ebay that would have cost me 7%. Very questionable...
Why wouldn't he have bought it through the forum? I thought he was all for the forum???
He wrote back as Michael and said his "customer" backed out and he couldn't find him.
I don't know Mickey Adams very well at all but I have seen a lot of his postings and his giveaways that he's been doing on the forum so I had no reason to think he was anything but a good guy.
Well after I wrote to him and said I would accept his offer he wrote back and said that his customer flaked out on the deal because of the shipping price and that it was over and done with and that there was no way he could salvage the deal that he wanted to know about my zum S12 string (HaHa) and never once did he sign Mickey Adams because I would have known who he was plus he has my phone number or he could contact me through the forum instead of Ebay where they take 7% of the final value and the shipping fee the whole thing just smelled like a rat so I tried to get information out of Ebay and of course they're useless so then I put that posting on the forum asking if anyone knew who jetdriver841 was on the forum.
Two guys responded almost immediately saying that it was Mickey Adams so really when I asked from any other information would be appreciated I was just wondering if he made a habit of pulling crap like this and that's a bit that's really all there is to it so far I haven't heard from anybody else but guess what it really doesn't matter he showed his hiney today as far as I'm concerned he's got problems that probably most forumites are not aware of.
All he had to do was use his known name and this whole thing never would have happened.
Most of those who bashed me here don't know me in any way at all.
Coincidently, I've had phone calls and PMs from forumites who didn't have anything to do with this, who do not care for your hero and said they were proud of me. They chose not to ad a positive posting to this thread for fear of the forum mafia.
After Michael Adams saw he was discovered, he started sending nasty messages to me through the ebay message system to me, none of which were answered by me.
