Ronbo,

That was a bit tough on the collector. These are tough times for all of us and it can be difficult to keep things in perspective. I don't think the collector mean't any harm.

You are a good guy and we love ya!

Tough,
Jeff this kid is a nuisance and a spoiled brat who
wasted my time over the last two weeks, I told him
the way it is and now he's whining, to use Rosie's
expression, "too bad, so sad" you have to grow up
eventually so this 16 yr. old should start now, hell
at his age I was chasing skirts, playing sports and
happy to be learning to drive legally not in
the process of collecting fire truck models.

That,Ron, is YOUR post Whining about it. Get over yourself...You are a decent guy,but Come on.
I know the time you lost in the dealings is valuable,but to chastise the kid???
Jeff told a VERY viable TRUTH about "shoppers"...
I'm sure this reply will cause flaming or be deleted,but hopefully not.But,I just don't care anymore!!!!!

Jonathon ...your life is not ruined and your original post is way out of line...it is attention seeking and childish at best. You must be aware that if you are going to purchase anything then you must make up your mind and have the ready cash to purchase the items that you wish for and not give people the run around. Yes, Ron acted rashly but from where I sit, I think he has reason (he has other problems that you would not wish to have, even on your best day). I hope things improve for his family and a wee bit of slack wouldn't hurt either way here.
