Re: 72 big block A/C cab

I know it's over and I should leave this alone, but it's all here for all to see and I'd like to clear my name of any thoughts of shifty action.
I don't know how it could be seen any other way than how it turned out. Two guys respond, both with a stipulation, with me being first to confirm. There was no doubt on my end whether I would take it, I was considering Josh's needs. The other person's pending was based on needing pictures of an area already described as being "super nice". Both were sent PMs, as well as right here in the thread my stipulation was eliminated by Josh stating "Once paid for, it can sit here as long as you need". That happened before anyone else posted any interest. The next morning when I get on here I see Josh is ok with waiting for pick-up, along with someone else posting as if I didn't exist. I figure the proper board etiquette here would be for the second person, who sees there is already something brewing with a guy ahead of him, to hop in line in case it came to my deal didn't go through. At least, that's how I would have handled it if the shoe was on the other foot. I see this place as a community of fellow truck enthusiasts and I won't step on my brothers' (or sisters') toes.
I took on a 1,500 or so mile round trip in the middle of my busy season after slim pickin's all winter. No matter what, once I say I will take something, I will follow through no matter what it takes. I'll buy it, consider it sold, you've got a buyer, I'll be by tomorrow to pick it up, there are many other ways to state a sale is confirmed. Pending is not one of them.
