they stood me up.
 

Some of you read that I was supposed to trade my 2001 GMC stepside today for a 67 stepside.
Well I drove the 120 miles to Centerville Texas. We were supposed to meet at 10am. I got there at 9 and waited till 11.

I texted and called with no reply.
On the way home at 12:15 I texted him telling him "thanks for wasting my f'in time". He texts back saying "you didnt get my text". I replied "whatever man I was there from 9-11.

So an hour later I stop at a verizon store to buy a new battery for my phone and a car charger.
Im sitting in my truck texting my wife and he texts asking if I still want to meet up and where?
I texted him back saying F the texting and to call me.
He never called so I texted back asking what the f is the deal and where is he. Well he texted back saying he is in Ennis at the races. That right outside of Dallas. Five hours away from me.

Im so pissed I hate beep like this. I even talked to him last night and he said he would be there. I had to make arrangements for my kids, spend 3/4 a tank of gas and most of my day.

edited please use the classified area
Here's the one I was supposed to get today. http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/871101078.html

That really sucks, karma, karma, karma. Don't let it get to you too much, this is how I think of these kinds of things. With the money and time you wasted you learned a lesson. I bet you won't do business like that again. I hope your next deal works out for you.

Re: they stood me up.
 

most of my experiences with people on craigslist end up with me cussing about it......

Re: they stood me up.
 

After all that he still had the nerve to call you what a a-hole. Don't worry sometimes happen for a reason. If he couldn't meet with you maybe the deal was not a true deal. How much are you looking to spend on a truck a friend of mine has a 67 short bed just painted hugger orange very nice. He is thinking about selling. :metal:

I'm not familiar with how Craigslist operates but maybe you can hit him with some really bad feedback, if CL has that sort of thing?

Re: they stood me up.
 

I have never had any luck with craigslist!!!!

Re: they stood me up.
 

I feel your pain and am sorry you went through all that.. please however do not advertise sales (cl ebay etc) for your own items without being a site subscriber. Also I edited out the language in the first post, we all slip and do it but tis a no no.
thanks

Re: they stood me up.
 

about 9 out of 10 appointments i set thru craigslist are a complete waste of time//i always set spefic time frame for deals now//dont think i'd ever travel that far for a meet tho

Re: they stood me up.
 

That stinks. There's no reason not to communicate, especially if you know somebody else has made plans. I've had great success with craigslist.

Re: they stood me up.
 

Dang, I about had a heart attack and had to look out the window to see if my 67 was still out there :lol:

Sucks man :(

Re: they stood me up.
 

Sorry to hear your deal fell through. Just pick up and start looking for the next project in line.... be sure to check the classifieds on the board.

His loss....

Re: they stood me up.
 

I would have called him and told him to bring it to my house if he still wanted to deal after he stood me up.If not,seeya!

Re: they stood me up.
 

Well it is entirely possible he sent you a text. And that you didnt get it.
However, this why you CALL. Technology isnt perfect. And when its important you should always call.

Sorry to hear you got "boned".

Re: they stood me up.
 

hee hee ... he said "boned" :sexy:

Re: they stood me up.
 

You must be young and inexperienced in the world of revenge!! Send the butt head another text message and include a sultry picture of some chick ---imply you are the girl and want to buy his truck for your dad and would he be willing to meet up with you---and that you would need directions to a local motel as you would need to spend the night as it is a long drive in you Jag-----get the idea!!!
Then screw the jerk like he did you only send him a phone call message laughing!!
That's how old guys repay buttheads who screw them over!!
Come on, get creative and have fun doing it!!

or use his cell phone number to sign up for all the telemarketing campaigns you can find :sexy:

"old age and treachery will whip the butts of youth and enthusiasm EVERY time."

Re: they stood me up.
 

Ive thought about it but decided that I will just stay on top and forget about him. He'll get his. He sounded like a thug so Im sure he will end up in prison or wrecking the truck.

Re: they stood me up.
 

One of the motorcycle forums I belong to is kinda a rough crowd. Whenever someone posts there address, they will get signed up for all kinds of gay porn.

Re: they stood me up.
 

And the address is
1900 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, DC. :lol:
