[Dearth]

I am just more than slightly annoyed today found a seller in the lower Mainland who was selling equipment and parts for SW the seller had several power heads for a 150 gallon+ and 3 radion lights plus replacement parts and apex busses to run the lights and power heads. Great score I thought the seller was willing to ship at buyers cost anywhere in BC another score.

I made a pitch for all the equipment for $800 which was $25 less than seller was asking for as if they were shipping I'd swallow the cost. Seller made a deal with me and I made arrangements to make 2 payments one upon shipping one upon receipt of goodies all was good.

Two hours ago everything fell apart the seller wasn't talking to me and I couldn't contact them even though we had talked over the phone for well over an hour earlier today. Went back to the website where seller had equipment listed and the sale post was down. Just over Twenty minutes ago finally was contacted by the seller to say seller had sold everything to a local person who went right to their door and took everything at a discounted price.

Needless to say I was ****sed seller didn't honour our agreement and then said it was easier for them to sell local.

Still ****sed not much I can do about it but bitch, whine and moan about it which I have excelled at for the last half hour.

One of the problems living so far away is you have to rely on shipping and often especially in major centres sellers will not ship for various reasons which makes it that more difficult for us that live far away to even have a hope in hell competing with locals and even more so when sellers don't honour the agreement.

Ahh well I'm done whining just had to get it off my chest
