We are mellow, laid back, men, that enjoy this site and yes we are kinda like a family so hope you will join us often....There is a lot to be learned here and hope you share with us all and also we do kinda misbehave from time to time, so hang around.....You got a really nice looking S-10 in that trade, so you must have really come out good or your car must have been really super....

Boy I could be wrong but I see you did nothing wrong. If you didn't have a set deal then all is good. But if I tell someone I will hold something for them I will do it.< If that was the case you are in the wrong. But to me it sounded like you two were going to look at each others cars and maybe make a deal. It sounds like the deal was lop sided and may not have happened any way. Coming from the other guys stand point: If the deal was so good for him, he should have drove down right away.
As far as the honor payment reminder. You are taking that way to hard. Im sure the site could use the money and some one bringing it up is hurting no one.

thanks fellas,i really love this site it is so addicting.the trade would have been kinda lopped-later he told me the blazer had no interior,no carpet,a hole in the floor where the transfer case shifter used to be,bumpers had one bolt keeping them on,and the rear seal on the tranny was leaking.i got really lucky with this s10,i took it to super chevy this past weekend and it ran 11.04 in 90 degree heat-so i am extremly happy.

Personally, i feel if you gave a man 3 days notice for whatever reason thats plenty of notice...day of the deal or day before is a lil much but 3 days is ok by me..ive been welched on more than i care to think and as long as i have that kind of notice its ok.. just because you are trying to trade doesnt mean you are married to the deal..a dhange of mind isnt illegal and no one was out money with that kind of notice..Just my Opinion of course
