As some may have seen, I have a Beretta PX4 Storm 9mm up for trade in the "for sale" section. Its been there for about 2 weeks, with plenty of views, but no one expressing interest.
Last night I get home from work and have a PM from Seikoguy, not only expressing interest in a trade for a M&P9C (the exact pistol I am looking for) but also questioning shipping proceedures. So to me, he is/was a person interested in doing business.
I delightfully reply with as much info as I could, plus offering up extra pics if requested.
Then this morning, to my disappointment, I get another PM from Seikoguy stating he believes he was "premature" in making the trade offer. Now yes, I know its HIS gun and HIS final desicion as to what to do with it. But as I told him, the saying "a man is only as good as his word" actually means something, at least to me it does. :roll:
I myself have done a few other trade deals in the past, and I followed thru with everything I said, offered, and was asked to do, to make ALL the trades go smooth and so both parties would be 100% satisfied. Maybe that is why I am so sore about this.
To some, this all may be a bit overboard on my part. But either way, others who may get any offers from Seikoguy, know that this may happen to you as well, and you've been given a "heads up" on it.
