I want to make a few comments on my advertising some items for sale on here, esp after I got the following post from Smokey.
Oh well, thanks.

But a few questions if you've got time: You've got a few 4-sale threads and on the other thread there are a few folks wondering what's going on, so I thought I'd ask.

You post an item for sale, then edit it at 10:08 and 7 minutes later I reply with an "I'll take it".

You don't say how you want to be contacted and when I tried to email you I got this:

Quote:
Sorry! That user has specified that they do not wish to receive emails.
And now you're saying you've been checking emails more then this site, sorry but you've lost me.

If someone PM'd you before I made my post then I understand, but if the PM's came in after my post time, then that's just wrong to sell to them.

Not trying to be a pain or anything, just wondering what's going on.

Thanks
Smokey

So, I do not know what is going on. Twisters email came to me, as did Sheenas and Mr Gueavrras. I even recd Mr. Johnsons email. FYI Sheena told me the pm wasnt working. I happen to be working today and am checking and doing the best I can. I must say this makes me very sorry I posted anything on here at all. God forbid someones pm didnt get read before an email esp when I requested emails as its difficult for me to check this site. It is especially unfortunate that I cannot get to the site IMMEDIATELY AFTER iI sell an item. For the most part I had thought this was a wonderful site, full of info, but I didnt realize that was only until someone didnt get their way. I dont know anyone on her so give up the thoughts of favoritism.
To make it fair according to Smokey et al, I will only check my email. If it doesnt sell doesnt bother me, i can still pay my utility bills.

In defense of Biz,
I updated my post on the manual issue:
https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ad.php?t=86708

edit reads as:
PM sent at:10:03am for clarification..
sale completed 10:09am
Smokey: you posted at 10:15, and I posted at 10:17 with my "PM sent"

I figured afterwards I would add a PM sent to inform others..


Sorry if that caused much confusion on this topic.

Well since you want to reply in this manner:

Can you tell me where in the thread for the manual is the fact that you want us to email you.

Even above you say that you esp when I requested emails as its difficult for me to check this site but that's not correct for the item in question.

Here is a copy & paste of the 4-sale post:

The "Sorry! That user has specified that they do not wish to receive emails." is the reply I got when I clicked on your user name and tried to email you (give it a try and you'll see)

I didn't know you wanted me to check the other threads to get your contact info Foolish on my part, I now see.

Where in the hell did that come from? Can you please point out in my PM (which stands for Private Message, by the way) where I gave you the impression that I was hurt and didn't get my way? Quite to the contrary, I feel I was polite and even asked for your time and said I wasn't trying to be a pain and was just wondering what was going on.

guevasd: appreciate your reply and explanation - but you shouldn't have had too and as I stated in my now public PM, if someone pm'd before I no problem. If biz had of been an adult about this and not gotten his panties in a wad, looked at his own 4 sale thread and seen what I was asking about and replied to the PM as an adult instead of taking this approach, all would be a-ok. I guess that was too much to ask.

BTW, biz your other post is in violation of forum rules as it doesn't contain any price info.

Mod's can we get all these biz posts merged into one? Thanks

Now I'm off to find the ignore button

With different means to contact a seller for items a sale can become complicated. A big juggling act at the least.
