You had me scared for a moment because I brokered the sale of Nova 4 from a
guy in SoCal a couple years ago. ?Then I remembered nobody sent me a deposit
of any sort.
Hey Mister You-know-who-you-are, how about telling us what you've done with
that machine?
This person (I won't name him on the list) had a Nova 4 in Irvine, and
he was looking for "best offers" on the machine by the end of April.
I asked him what he wanted and wanted to try and beat the best
offer... I made a counteroffer to what he wanted, he agreed and I sent
him a deposit. I didn't hear from him after that for a few days, and
he finally replied and said he had been out of town on business.
After another few days, my deposit was returned and that's the last I
heard.
I can't really argue that he has the right to the best offer, but I
just wish he had given me a chance to meet or beat the new offer.
But, as I said, I just hope the machine went to a good home.
