HP 264x terminal status

I talked to the guy with the HP terminals just before the holiday. He said he was prepared to go ahead with the deal for $20 per item. However he said he wanted to wait until he had a chance to get final counts on each model, etc. After not hearing for him a while, I emailed him a week ago and asked if he got the counts yet. He gave me a really long reply, saying how he wished he never saw those terminals and just wanted to pitch them - and that he was just "turned around and confused". I emailed him said "I can make them go away, someone will come and pick them up..." and he never bothered to respond. Given his handling of this, I am going to assume the bulk purchase deal is off. I tried, my apologies. What irks me is that I publicly posted on this list saying to give the guy a chance when he was slow on delivery and wanted me to "interceed" for him. Jay West
