hlh1,
I'm sorry you feel that things didn't happen properly. I agree, you did contact me first, but only to ask if the bars would fit your bike. The next contact I had from anyone was from the member who purchased them. He didn't ask any questions, just made an offer, which I accepted. Unfortunately, he didn't make his offer using a publicly visible reply to the post, but through an e'mail directly to me; so the timeline in the post doesn't tell the full story.
In my e'mail to you this morning, I said that another member had made an offer, which I accepted. My conundrum was whether or not they would actually send payment. Sometimes people say they will buy something, and then leave the seller hanging.
If I misled you into thinking that the first one to transfer the money won, I sincerely apologize. But the other member did make their offer first, so I accepted their payment.
Kevin,
I appreciate the response, but immediately after my question about fitting my 09 I asked what $$ you had to have for them. Did you not see that? That's called negotiation. That meant you and I were engaged in the process of buying and selling. If you and I didn't come to an agreement, then the next person on the thread is who you work with next. If you want to make this right, as I said in my IM, you refund the other person who "cut in line" and should know better, and then I'll resend via Paypal.
