    I'm not seeing a scam, shitty communication for sure. That being said with no address or communication the day off it seems a very odd choice to drive the 4 hours.

    Quoted from RightNut:

    So...someone makes a written agreement, doesn't follow through, and wastes ones time and money...if that's not a scam, what's the proper word for it? Raw deal, maybe. Bullshit, def.
    I appreciate everyone's point of view. However, telling people addresses and phone numbers significantly in advance kinda conflicts with the recommended selling practices posted on this site. Haha. So, what are you gonna do? Though it's a good lesson for the future.
    That said, I tend to honor agreements that I make, written or otherwise. Had I not gone, and he sent me a message at 8 or 9 saying "I overslept, here's the address" and I didn't show up on time or at all, it would have been my fault for messing up the deal. It's why I sent him my number, so he could contact me other than via FB.
    So, yea, it's a bad seller and raw deal. Be careful buying stuff southwest of Fort Worth.

    Did I miss when you had a written agreement? Are you considering message online a written agreement?
