I remember when I was still in the AF and got sent to Florida after Andrew, Mile after mile of.. NOTHING!, then you would see one lone tree or a single house that seemed untouched.

Quick post to say that my thoughts and prayers are with those families that lost loved ones, homes, and everything they owned. Growing up and living in OK I do know the devastation that can be caused. I can not believe in this day and time there is no weather sirens though, just ridiculous. I remember when we did not have them, just a few minutes notice on the tv or radio, the feeling of being caught truly is fear. Lord help all those who were affected.

Amen! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

Agreed. Man I hope my Muppy ships soon.

You can see the destruction on TV all you want but actually being there, is a whole different, terrible world. It's bad enough to be there as a worker, I can't imagine the feeling if it is your own property and loved ones.

A question for you guys- I was selling a couple knives on BF last night, a guys is emailing offering me something, we exchanged emails, my last saying yes with PP/personal and post an "I take it". Meanwhile, someone posts an "I'll take it"

Who do you honor? I was up in the air for a few minutes, but figure I had to honor the 1st direct I'll take it. I figured I would screw someone and that was the lesser of 2 evils.

The guy I was PM'ing is publicly complaining...

Your thoughts? What was the right call??

And yes the I"ll take it involved more $ for me! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Sticky situation for sure! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> Personally, I think that if you told the first person "Yes" on his offer then you accepted the deal. How would you feel if the situation was reversed? Anyway, that's a perfect example as to why I am glad that Dan does not allow any open selling on this forum; it's too easy to create ill will. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Really? Doh!

Yah I would probably be slighty ticked if we had a deal worked out and then someone switched it to someone else. Just me though.

But... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> if the seller tells me to go post an I'll take it, and I don't get there in time. I am gonna figure i lose b/c I wanted to haggle...

seriously!

Sorry RN, but your "yes" sealed the deal. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> YOU could have put a "SOLD" note with your posting as soon as you said yes. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Double doh!
