Angered at a craigslist seller - March 30th 2012 5:27 pm
I have been looking for a pre-81 shorty Chevy, and narrowed it down to the years between 75 - 76, with 77 being my favorite. Found a 77 on here that was in WA state, but the owner eitehr got cold feet or actually sold it without pulling the listing.
Then, I found a 76, also in WA, and the owner was willing to be patient and work with me (I live in NY) and was very accomodating...willing to have me shipa camera to him (he didnt have a computer to send the pics) that he would ship back, was willing to meet up with vannin site members to have them look it over for me, and was so fair as to give me first dibs on it, even though I am on the other side of the country.
Well, I a member here, who was only 15 minutes away from him said he could go look at it. I contacted the seller and he was ok with it, as long as it was when he got home from work. then, before I could have it looked at, he has his wife text me to let me know theyve decided not to sell it.
I was already source parts that I knew either needed replacing or werent to my liking.
Now, its back to square one...
