So earlier today I spotted an ad on CL. had been posted an hour before. Five piece MIJ kit ( good condition ) with a Rogers Dyna Sonic included as well as stands,hats,ride,throne.
I reached out asking if he would sell just the Dyna, even told him what he had and why I was making me offer. He seemed pleased ( he also knew what it was ) with my honesty and straight forwardness.
He was asking $250. Said someone had offered him $150. Then asked me ( I never made the offer ) if I was ok with $200. Said I could make that work.
He gets back to me again, nah sorry need the cash. Someone is coming by tonight, gotta sell it for what I'm asking.....
And I quote " You're the high offer, but It's too soon to call it quits " You want bidding, put it on Ebay.
You made me the offer for the lower price, I didn't. I was the 2nd guy to contact you, and you even work in the town I live in.
Maybe It's me on this one, but I feel played. Every other CL person I've dealt with goes by who reached out first. Basically you snooze you loose. That's life. This is BS.
And for me all I wanted was to buy the drums to flip and make money towards my business. I don't have the personal funds for more than what I am committed to already buying, and wanted some good inventory. But now, I could care less. Guy makes me swear I'll come by cash in hand, then sucker punches me. First I got the wife tale, now a kid tale on top of my family is mad I'm selling for this price,etc etc etc.
Sorry guys needed to vent.
