As far as I'm concerned, Beverly was in this to make a sale, not to accommodate people's schedules and tip-toe around specific issues. I pm'ed Beverly at 8 a.m. and I did not post "pm sent" on the board because I didn't have time.
I pm'd Brad and asked him if he wanted to split it between the two of us. He told me that he had not heard anything form Beermaster and Michika, so I progressed in making a deal with Beverly over the phone.
Frankly, if you wanted the tank contents, you should have confirmed the sale with Beverly, she shouldn't have to chase you around to confirm the deal. If you had confirmed the deal, you would have had the tank. Simple as that
