Chris, I appreciate you saying I have some valid points. Here's some from me: Under your gideon13 handle, which you advertised the hood under, there was no buyer/seller history to check out. Second, as I said, I'm new to buying/selling on RJ. I saw the recommendation from RJ on how to protect buyer and seller, and assumed that was the way it was done. If it's not and my requesting escrow.com made you nervous, that's on me, even though I didn't know it. Hollowayshotrods makes some good learning points for both of us. What has never been answered by you is what made me nervous in the first place. When you said you were "going to have to cancel for now", you never ever said when you thought you might be able to complete the deal. How long did you expect me to wait with no idea of when you would send it? Do you see why that made me nervous? ...and I don't want the $25. I just want you to try to see this from my perspective. If you want to try to bury the hatchet with each other on this, give me a call. I'm at 303-829-1456. That's in Colorado, so Mountain Time Zone. I no longer think you're a bad guy. Apparently my being a newbie in this contributed to the problems.
