Default There ya go Ernie!!

Judging by your last post and the info under your user name it looks like congratulations are in order...maybe?

As too who is slimier, it seems like good old fashioned Capitalism to me. What is wrong with that? Seems to me that you were looking for a deal at $25k (which it was) and Ernie thought that it would be a deal at $35k(which it probably is) .

Before I bought my Contemporary I had made a deal over the phone with a guy trying to sell his 427 powered A & C that he had been trying to sell for awhile. I was going to trade him my '92 vette plus cash. Well, before the weekend came along when the deal was supposed to happen some guy showed up at his door w/$30k cash and....... I now have a Contemporary. Was I dissappointed? Yes. Did I blame him ? Not at all, We never shook hands or put it in writing, (if we had then I would have been pissed) he took what he thought was the better deal, period. I hold him no Ill will.

Congratulations Ernie I hope when it gets there it is what you hoped it is.

Have a good one,
Dan
