    Matt -

    I'll give you $400 for it on Monday morning. PM me if you want the deal, and I'll pay for shipping down to NC.

    I actually could use it for an end-table in the office.

    Greg/308GTS, I am not sure if you are Silver Subscribed, but in case you are not, here is something I posted in that section that hopefully will help this cause:

    Wow! What an offer - Daniel, you da man.

    I was thinking of doing something similar, but ONLY after Gregg had the balls to stand up and say "I'm screwed, sorry - I'll do my best to make it right ASAP".

    Potentially letting him off the hook without even an apology is going way beyond the call of duty - Infinite good karma to you sir!

    Cheers,
    Ian

    Believe me, $400 for that wheel + refinishing will be cheaper than some of the end tables I've been thinking about getting.

    It's kind of a selfish offer. ;)

    Very generous of you Daniel, I'm sure that'll be a huge relief to Matt! :D

    Ah, but Daniel's offer included shipping and that'll be more than $5. You're still out-bid, mate. :eek:

    I just wish Greg had stood up before a bidding war broke out to get him (potentially) off the hook...

    What a community! Don't mess with it!

    Not at all. I was matching Daniel's offer plus adding Mr. Lincoln!

    Daniel,

    If you are serious, you have a deal if Greg does not respond to my inquiries by tomorrow evening. I will box it up at UPS and have it shipped to you on Monday AM...

    To 350HPMondial, if you are serious, than PM me if that thing will actually mount to a 308QV Hub.

    This whole event has been surreal. It really didn't have to come to this.

    I now realize that my idea of actually trusting anyone on Fchat has been seriously diminished, so as time moves forward, when I have dealings with any of you (not previously encountered), forgive me if I seem a little cynical...

    Thanks,
    MB

    Healthy skepticism is always appropriate. But, it's not necessary, perhaps, to go so far as to assume that you're being scammed. Just take whatever steps you normally would. No more, but no less.

    You are forgiven. ;)

    I don't blame you at all Matt, feel free to go through all the rigours of proof-in-advance with me if I'm ever selling anything. :)

    All the best,
    Andrew.

    I personally would trust almost everyone on this board. 99.9999999999% of the people on here are honorable. Further, there are others on here that will back you 1000000% when you have been wronged, just like now. Look at how someone stepped up to give you what you paid for an item that you felt wasn't worth the amount paid.

    I think you would be hard pressed to find somewhere else on the net where there are more selfless members than are on here. Keep the faith and remember that there are going to be scammers all over the net, but at least you are protected more than elsewhere when you are on here. (There have been a lot of "blood in the water" threads here which I don't like, but when it comes to stand-up people, I would prefer to be here than anywhere else.)

    Just my .02 cents.

    +1, I've dealt with many many great guys on Fchat, never had a bad experience. This one is getting alot of attention, but overall Fchat members (and especially subscribers) are stand up guys (and gals).

    Well said CW, and I have rec'd some PM's in that regard as well. After witnessing the actions of the entire community here, I will clearly not automatically assume the worst about folks, just be a heck of a lot more cautious before pulling the trigger.

    I agree that most of the people on this board have integrity.

    Thanks again to all of you for the support in what was seemingly an easy matter for most of us here on this board to resolve.

    Well said. This board has a great group of people, doesn't matter if you are an admirer or owner. So much knowledge on one board. I still cannot believe Greg would do that after all the experience and time he has put in here.

    I chose not to chime in on this thread just because it seemed to take on a life of it's own so early on.

    Even though (like most people) I've been burned once or twice in my life I still choose to believe the best about people. I was really hoping this would turn out differently...but it does seem to be heading toward a happy ending just by a different route than most of us expected.

    Daniel and Doc....way to make a stand up offer to help right a wrong!!

    Matt, don't let one persons apparent lack of integrity sour you on trusting people, especially people from such a great community like this one. It's too bad that this whole episode happened but it is turning out to be a learning experience for a lot of people!!

    I am. Just ring me on Monday.

    I do need an end-table, and I think this will work quite nicely.
