JR should have realized that there was a communication mistake, been appreciative of your offer and then met that generosity by returning the carb. deal done, friends made and everyone happy.
When he kept the carb and said he did it because you told him that was the deal? It became all about the money.
But then these days it is all about the money right? Not about doing whats right, making friends and building relationships, even meeting trading partners.
Mopar, what that carb deal/final offer bought you is the admiration and respect of many on this board.
JR, returning it would buy you the same.
My opinion as always,

in case 67ss396chevelle missed this part. Nobody disputes that Mopar gave him the carb...it is what is stated in the above quoted post that is the real issue...at least for me.

I can see both sides of it....kinda.There was a mixup,and I'm NOT gonna pick sides on that.When mopar offered for him to keep the carb,sounds like things I have done in the past.Something doesn't go exactly as planned,one party gets all riled up and you look for a quick fix to end it.Sometimes your mouth outruns your brain.We all understand that mopar freely offered the card to jrlj,all we are saying is that if jrllj was kinda greedy to accept something that costly as "payment" for all his "trouble".Mopar was trying to right the situation,probably didn't think things thru all the way and jrlj took advantage of the situation.Mopar did not come on here saying that jrlj stole his carb.He came on here,originally, saying that jrlj was just hard to deal with.From the posts we've all read,I think we can all agree on that.Mopar never asked for his carb back.WEasked for his carb back.Mopar was being too nice.Jrlj was,and is being too greedy.After all,if that carb caused him SOOO much trauma in his life,and it was something that he DID NOT WANT,why does he want to hold on to it so badly?Mopar has done nothing wrong.So everybody shut up off him and quit accusing him of being tricky.It is OBVIOUS that by his VOLUNTARY financial loss in this dealing that he is not out to get over on anyone.The only post that needs to go up here,IMHO,is the one saying Jrlj sent it back after realizing that he didn't need the money from selling it to cover his counseling to help him recover from such a traumitizing ordeal :roll:
