I was expecting him to get it too but I found it still there with the price reduced and was wondering if he had checked it out or not.I am thinking about contacting the seller myself if he doesn't save it. Just dreading the trip and if it ever stops raining here in the northeast I really need to do the first mow of the season.The grass is getting really tall in spots.

Why can't nice roundie color tvs show up closer? Some people are surrounded by them. It really depends where you live when people are calling these sets common.Big City=Good. rural area= not so good.

If I was going to drive 4 hrs each way, I make darn sure the seller will be there and will have it. I would even go so far as to pay him a non refundable deposit, that way he knows you are for real, and would be willing to pass on another buyer if someone shows up before you. Just pay pal him 25$ and say if I am not there by an agreed upon time then he keeps the money and sells to next buyer.

I have heard people complain that a seller sold it after they had called and asked him to hold it for them. But from seller point of view, I am sure there are a lot of phone calls that never turn into action, and if they hold it waiting for someone that had called, and pass on a warm body with cash in hand, they can get screwed. By pay pal a deposit every one is safe, unless of course the seller is just a scammer, so the deposit has to be looked at with a bit of a gamble by the buyer.

I finally emailed this guy. He says a couple of people are interested. If they don't pan out he's gonna contact me. Let's hope TV engineer or one of us is on it and not a fishtanker if I don't hear back from him.

I must say that I truly don't appreciate this.

I had already indicated here that I had contacted the seller. Attempting to do an end run around me is rather underhanded and is certainly unethical.

Nuff said.

You are preaching to the choir, I've missed many sets in my own backyard by a matter of minutes. Be faster next time.
