I still see an accepted offer as a hand shake deal. If I am at a swap meet and offer a guy a price, I better be darn sure I want it. Because if he accepts, I'm taking it home, whether I like it or not. I don't know, maybe I'm too old fashioned for my young age? I got an offer on a frame and fork and went to the trouble of getting a huge bicycle carton to cut down to size and pack it up. I send the buyer the total with PayPal info. Then I am left to hang for a week only to be told no longer interested. I'm a college kid, time is precious to me. So what do I do? If I have to let it go, then I am going to take the frame and fork along with other metal and ENSURE it is crushed at the scrap yard. Frames are more trouble than they are worth. Anyway, I'm off to bed, I have a presentation to work on tomorrow. Two of them. Last Edited By: classicfan1 01/31/12 01:35:03. Edited 1 times.
