If I say I'm interested and ask a question,if the answer or picture shows that it's what I want then I will take it. And,should be ahead of any other "I'll take its" that follow. Now,we see people say "I'll take it" and follow it with questions about the part and/or shipping.
Sorry for the hijackin' rant. But,Sharpie is a friend (at least I hope he feels the same...lol) and I figured he wouldn't mind. Good price on an important part in great shape (that I don't really need now). I'm headin' to the cellar before the storm hits
I couldn't agree more. I got burned on some tow hooks a few months ago where this very logic applied. I was the first guy to say that I was interested pending some pics. The next guy said I'll take it and I was brushed off. When I said WTF, this is the reason I was given: an 'I'll take it' trumps an 'I'm interested'. I don't agree with that. And I'm really disappointed when someone like Sharpie gets burned. He's a guy that I want on my side; I would never want to piss him off.
