Well, I can add my experience to the list... I agreed to buy a Redhawk .41 mag from a guy in Ft Worth... we agreed to "meet in the middle" even though it was closer for him than me. We were to meet at the Home Depot at 183 and Industrial Blvd in Euless.
The morning of the deal, he texted me, asking "are we still on for today?" I responded yes, I was about to leave, and should be there in about 45 minutes or so. We had agreed to meet around noon to 1 oclock, allowing some flexibility for traffic.
I told him what I was driving, and he told me what he was driving. I was on the motorcycle...
When I got to the Home Depot at 12:35 or so, I pulled into the lot, and parked, and checked my phone. He had texted me "are you here" I replied and told him where I was parked. That was the last I heard from him. No texts, no replies.... I called him twice and left voice messages for "Greg".... no response.
My thought is that he likely found someone to offer him more for it, and he dropped me like a hot rock.
I had agreed to pay his asking price of $950.... didn't try to talk him down, nothing.
So.... there are a-holes everywhere.
