- There is something I find very disturbing with equipment posted here
- for sale or as wanted. It seems few keep their word when it comes to
- shipping the agreed upon items or ordering the requested items. I have
- spent an entire year ordering stuff and have only managed to get some
- boards from one person. If you agree to ship something to somebody for
- a specified price at a specified time, then that is what should be done.
- Otherwise, don't advertise it. Likewise, if you want something be serious
- about it when you say "The check is in the mail", or be serious about it
- when someone has what you want. Otherwise, why ask for it at all if you
- don't really want it to begin with.
-
- It is only common courtesy to follow through when 2 parties reach an
- agreement. Perhaps there are many reading this post that would agree with
- me.
-
- I am still waiting for the person who promised they would ship me a 3-port
- serial card on 12/7. I don't have your e-mail address anymore. What is
- the problem? Did you change your mind, sell it to somebody else, or ship
- it late?
-
- One thing is for sure, if anyone needs anything from me, only death will
- prevent it from being shipped! Action speaks louder than words. There is
- a lot of talk going on here, but unless there is action, what good is it?
- If I wanted no help, I could go to my local Radio Shack. ;-)
