Just because wasn't quite what I meant...
I was thinking in terms of giving good reasons but instead "just because"
came thru my typing.
In most cases I agree with Terry on going through with a deal.
Main reason I replied to the original post on here was because I wasn't too
happy that this wasn't addressed to me privately first. Anyhow I don't think
ALL the blame should be on me for what happened. Once I make a deal I
usually like to end it soon as I can but sometimes things happen and also it
doesn't help when the seller delays the process as well.
I try to be a good buyer/seller accordance to common decency.
I have had a ton of deals on/off ebay/bricklink and privately with no
problems at all.

| (...) Thanks for clearing that up. (Presumably you meant you agree with me, since Terry's post was a reply to me) (...) I think just about everyone agrees with that. I'd cut Sonnich some slack though, as this all seems like a miscommunication. ++Lar (24 years ago, 8-Nov-02, to lugnet.market.brickshops)
