Richard,
Yes, I fully understand this and see your point. I always take notice if an
auction is Paypal only, or if other payments can be made. A lot of the time, if
it shows Paypal only, I will e-mail the seller asking if they can accept a
money order, and will not bid unless they ok it. In this instance, it was just
a flat out blunder on my part where I was looking at 3 for sell from different
sellers. The other two accepted money orders. What made me post this on here
though was after this happened, I looked at the sellers feedback, and two
auctions before this one, they accepted both Paypal and money orders! From
this, and the real short, smart remark received back, I just had to say
something and blow off some steam. I did learn a good lesson from this, no
matter how nice, and apologetic you are to some, there's always a class A1
pri*k in every crowd. I absolutely can not be an @sshole to anyone who is nice
to me like I was him. If I had been in his position, I would have more tha
n welcomed the extra money. Heck I offered to not only pay extra for a sell,
but any re-list charges plus some extra, and to pay any difference between
myself, and another buyer before I ever got a reply from this seller. Heck, as
a matter of fact, the seller said he had used this in the "U. S. Army doing
Nike Hercules missile maintance in 1969". I even asked in my first e-mail,
before I caught what I done, for a signed letter making it a collectors item,
and offered to pay for it! I guess you just can't be good to people in this
world any more without getting an @ss ripping. I'm still shaking my head about
it........
PS: Heres the item number for any interested: 7583308811
Best To All,
Will
