If this dealer does not honor the deal with Bob I pray that will be the LAST antique TV he sells , as the few real collectors shun him for screwing Bob on this deal .
I urge ALL our fellow collectors , no matter what ya collect , to take a few moments and send off an Email to the seller in support of doing the right thing for Bob , either give him his paid for TV , or a refund of the money spent . If the dealer gets enough Emails , It just may prompt him into doing the right thing , especially if the volume of Emails indicates that the entire collector community universally condemns this blatant ripoff ... |

In post one of this thread , Bob asked for folks to send off some Emails . I have done so and have seen no other mention of anyone else honoring Bob's request . If the seller sees dozens of friendly Emails urging him to do the right thing , he just may "man up" and make good on the deal , even if only for the reason of the fear of never being able to sell another antique tv to the collector community ..... |
So Guys , Hows those Emails coming along ? Anyone send any yet ?
If Bob is ever to see justice on this issue , a few fellow collectors are gonna have to make some noise in the form of polite complaint to the seller so that it appears that a lot more than just the ripoff of Bob's $250 is at stake . The guy runs a business selling stuff , If he thinks enough business could be lost he may do what's right here just for the sake of his bottom line . But with no protest or knowledge that the collector community is even aware of this injustice to Bob , the seller has no idea that anyone else except Bob is even aware that Bob is out $250 and has no TV to show for it . I'll bet the seller hasn't even a clue that this thread exists ....
