Sorry to hear you missed out on a potential deal. Stuffs like water in a desert right now.
I tell you this shortage brings out the worst in people. **** thing is I traded with this guy a month or so ago both me and my friend..
This past Sunday I see he has H1000 for sale on a local board for $55 per lb (8lb jug). So I call him and we talked (actually he talked) for an hour and a half. I told him I'd like to sell this Retumbo and then buy the H1000 if possible. He said "no problem- I'll hold off a few days just let me know".
So a guy here on the boards sends me a message yesterday and we work out a plan for me to meet someone tomorrow to sell him the Retumbo. I send the guy with H1000 a text last night and said "Retumbo is gone- can we meet up on Friday after work?" This is the text I got back.
At first I thought he was joking on the text. So I called his phone and politely left a message asking if this sale was still on, because I've committed my Retumbo (which I would keep and do load development ALL OVER AGAIN if I had to). No return call.
So I checked the local boards and I find no posts anymore from this guy. Strange- he posted A LOT and they don't disappear unless he was banned or..... he blocked me. Well guess what? He blocked me.
He calls me back and I popped a flippin' gasket. He tried to first say he sold it, then he waffled and moaned he could get more for it, and he had some friends that wanted it- yadda, yadda. I said "Look- after an hour and half wasted on the phone on Sunday you are either going to sell it to me or not sell it to me, so which is it? I can be in your town in 45 minutes and get it done RIGHT NOW. "
So he relents. I just got home with the damned powder. Holy buckets of bull snot this is getting crazy.
