A very strong Do Not Recommend from me.

Inquired about some 12ga ammo, said he would come pick it up, then day of changed and said he needed to stay local in case he had to work (on call). Okay, no worries, I can head your way, little kink in my schedule can't hurt too bad and I am willing. Place changed to fit his needs. Gave him a new eta as I was currently coming from a deal. No response. Asked to confirm that he could be there at that time. No response. I went home instead. PM him (maybe something happened to his phone or he got called in). Whole day goes by. He reads the PM that night. Frustrating as I had another deal in the general area that I could have done, and it was a hassle re-planning it around him to begin with, just for him to go silent. Fine, maybe he got called in to work... No response to PM. Send a new one, no response. Send a text asking him to just sack up and say if he is backing out or not so I can move on. No response. Send him a PM informing him that if he did not know, there are read receipts on the PMs so... I can see he is reading them. Reads it and... No response. It has been a few days now, an appropriate time for an explanation and reschedule, which will clearly not be what happens.

So I have ruled out getting called to work, an accident, bad phone, bad internet. None of those, just a bad member. Not a good way to start, and hopefully a very quick end.

For sake of the fact that nobody cares to read this stuff, I wont copy paste messages or texts, if they need to be made available I would be glad to do so to admins/mods. I doubt there is much of a debate or anything to respond to anyway, it is a pretty simple case of flaking altogether, despite the seller being very willing to work around him.

Others not involved in this transaction are NOT to respond.

this is hilarious. I literally called you and left a message saying I found a better deal somewhere else and then deleted your number. If you have a problem with me you can text me and time and place and we can settle it the old-fashioned way.

Odd because I have received no calls, no messages, texted you many times after and got no response. No need to endorse violence because you could not follow through with a commitment. Unless by the old-fashioned way you mean being a man of your word, in which case that would be admirable. But I believe that is reaching for something positive on my end.
