Guess I "should have known better".
Yesterday afternoon, after I 'made the deal" to go TODAY, after work IMMEDIATELY from here....and get that TV and Umatic(which I did NOT rteally care all that much about...and WOULD have let it go to someone who really wanted it..), I had an "uneasy feeling" that something would go wrong". The guy DID say it was mine and he would meet me today to get the tv and umatic, but he ALSO kept saying things about "how he wants it gone,, and could not wait till Saturday, when I WANTED to come and get it, and he ALSO mentioned somethig about the 1976 Magnavox set. But STILL...I felt "a deal is a deal". it is mine now, and all I need to do is go get it.". I then went home after work, and prepared the van for today.
But still...that "little voice" inside of me....kept saying", why don't you just see if someone from AK could get this, and HOLD it for you, till this Saturday or so". But I IGNORED that little voice, which is almost NEVER wrong. After all, a "deal is a deal, and someone's word is good".
At least, I thought that.
I know I sometimes promise things and do not "come through",(I DO work ealry hours, and hav elittle time mostoften , but i do NOT EVER recall selling something to someone, making a deal..., and THEN , "selling it out from under them", for more money...AFTER A DEAL HAD BEEN MADE!!
It has been a long, hard, hot day here. no AC, other than the bathrooms and office. I am going home from work, and taking a nap in my A/C'd room....and will try and forget this sad experience.
