The guy and I went back and forth for at least 10 minutes over $5-at that point I didn't care. He'd irritated me enough that I really didn't even want to sell it to him on principle. The second he set it down, someone else walked over, asked me what it was, and handed me a $100 bill. About 2 minutes later, the guy I'd been arguing with came back over, said "OK" and waved $100 in my face. When I said "sorry, I sold it-you walked away from it" he started screaming and cussing enough that security came and took him out of the show.
Wow...how wrong of me to believe only I run into such childish, immature emotional volcanos. Very similar experience with a guy I even knew from a local interest club. He expressed an interest in a particular item for sale, yet never bothered to follow up, much less pay up. Absolutely threw at fit when 4 weeks later....4 weeks later, another club member comes over to buy something else, sees the item and pays cash, right then and there.
Talk about a whiner, an emotional toddler/tyrant, he just threw a fit. Completely unwilling to accept any responsibility for his (in)actions.
Icing on the cake: I wasn't selling my persoal items. I was doing it to help out the widow of a long-term club member who didn't have a clue about any of items her husband bought. Further, I was volunteering my time and efforts. This dirt-bag even knew the guy in the club!
What a loser.........
