- Quite simply this is the deal...
- The aforementioned bobs@aplcen.apl.jhu.edu posted a letter
- to misc.forsale.computers a bit back detailing an Archive
- tape drive for $250 that he wanted to sell. Well,
- considering the price i accepted quickly. Then came the
- first problem. Soon after i accepted the deal Bob mailed me
- a note saying that $250 had changed to $275. It was sleazy
- but still a good deal, so i accepted. (again) then came his
- final note detailing how he was going to break our agreement
- once again.

- One of my co-workers found out I was selling this
- drive and made an offer I am going to accept.

- Well, there you go. I know i am biased for having been
- burnt, however i think that the unspoken code which sets
- standards for netnews transactions would be prohibitive of
- such actions so obviously lacking of any ethic.

- Thank you,
