<p>[QUOTE="JayBee, post: 906188, member: 9259"]We all been there! A year or so back found a set of bone carvings I really wanted. Not cheap, and needed to sort my finances. Bargained it about 30% down as this is someone I have bought from before. Put down some money to hold it for a couple of weeks. A week goes by, I make arrangements to pay and, bang, the hammer falls! "I'm sorry, I was away from the shop, my wife wasn't aware that it was reserved and sold it. I'll refund your deposit." Yeah, right. Someone saw it, paid full price, and I was left hanging and cursing I should have just bought it and sorted out the finances later. Bummer! Real bummer! One of those I will be grinding my teeth about till the day I go three feet under! Maybe I should ask to be hurried ten feet under, so the gnashing of teeth does not spook the passers by! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie13" alt=":angelic:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie29" alt=":bucktooth:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie26" alt=":bored:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
