The only mistake made was not knowing that my local post office wasn't open even for a half day on a Saturday. Being my first deal as a trade (even though i've bought in the past) this mistake can and did happen as it was rushed by both sides.
Again, the only reason any of you knew about this, was because I posted, not the other guy, I was just trying to make a mistake that I have repeatably acknowledged was made, and make it right.
I have not disregarded anything on this site, other than those who want to blow things out of proportion, and not help a guy solve a situation, where the 2nd party, isn't even worried about.
As far as reputation goes, anyone who reads, this can. Hence no delete a few hours ago. I am straight forward, and direct, and I speak my mind. Just as there are rules and expectations, those dealing with a "noob" can choose to not deal with me, he didn't have to offer a bat in exchange for mine, nor did he "have" to ship first as I never requested that, but since he was shipping earlier than I, I did expect confirmation, that I still have not received. Point being, the deal is still a deal, and we are going forward as planned, except for the point I am shipping later than discussed which the other party has no single issue with.
Lastly (and I do mean lastly), the point of the open board post was to seek advice and opinions from those more experienced, I took that advice and used it. End of discussion, but nope it's apparently not. This isn't the only place to buy bats, and the amount of time spent on here, or bat's moved doesn't make a difference, it just means you started before the other person, everyone started somewhere, everyone at one time had zero feedback. That said, I've respected the opinions and the board, and have said thank you, and have been cordial, again the only time I have gone away from that is when someone wants to try and attack my good intentions to make things right by calling me a liar, or something along those lines. I do stand up for what I believe is right and fair. If some people choose not to do business with me because of what is read on this thread, then I save money by not buying a bat, and I move on. Feel free to blow up the thread with nonsense, and waste of life responses, by the time you post it, I've already forgotten about this thread.
Good games to you, good luck in the tournaments, and until the next time I start a giant topic that gets everyone's panties in a bunch.
