All I'll say is my decision wasn't about money. If it was I would have started an auction or asked more of other buyers to start a bidding war.
This move was made precisely because of chip karma. Look you can't be a tool your whole life just because you have money. I'm not a wealthy man and never will be but I'll never be a next level douchebag like some people with money act.
Read my sales ad again. I said specifically I wouldn't sell to douchebags. My mistake was not reading my PMs before prior to accepting his offer. I told him in PMs like a man that I'd take whatever negative feedback he wanted to give that even I felt was warranted.
I'm amazed at the amount of virtue signalling going on around here. Where were you knob lickers when people were scamming forum members out of money, and people were doing charity auctions for people who were lying. Or when others sold items and took MONTHS to send those items without contact or anything. Oh that's right you were victim blaming...making it about those people not being patient enough blah blah blah. But make the "victim" someone with a lot of money to throw around and watch the lackies migrate to his dick.
I thought we could handle this like adults through a conversation in PMs but children have to have the forums approval knowing their money will have everyone gravitate to sympathize with them. I've had dozens of people over the years back out on deals and never thought I had to cry like a baby to everyone when it happened, and in several of those cases the items were sold to others with more money to offer. Did it suck? Of course it did, and there wasn't even any clause in their sale it was straight dibs sale. Some people around here need the attention and because he has money everyone is tripping over themselves to give it.
At the end of the day, I've made hundreds of transactions over the years on here, chip talk before this place and
eBay long before any of it. All without a blemish till now. I'll take the negative feedback because what I did was inappropriate but I'll not take this bullshit from you virtue signalling asshats who seem to think it's some kind of character flaw. You can kiss my ass. In my mind not selling to a self righteous prick is a virtue. Money doesn't buy love, especially not from this guy. You wrong my friends (who I've known for longer than this forum has existed in some cases) you have nothing coming from me. My only flaw was being more concerned with real life to keep up with the drama on this forum.
