Quoted from jamespin:So, driving up to Traverse City to pick up a Fire Champagne Ed. that was sold to me late Saturday night.
Totally feel for the OP. Seller got greedy and broke his word, it'll come back to bite him someday I believe.
Take away is: Don't count your chickens before they're hatched. The table wasn't sold to you, no matter what agreement was made over email/phone until money and machine change hands it isn't 'sold'.
