Well, that sucks, but this thread is meaningless drivel without a name. I'm not suggesting you name anyone, just pointing out the obvious.
The deal is always as follows:
If you make arrangements to see a game, you go see it. You don't call when you are supposed to be there and cancel. That's wasting someone's time.
On the other hand, when someone comes to buy something you've listed, you sell, or cancel before the drive.
Good luck finding the pin you want. Let us know if you get your $4 per hour plus gas money back.
