It really blows man!
You did say he took the radio to the shipper, right? I probably would have just paid the shipping fees too and been good, but we all don't have enough money sometimes (like the time I had to pass on a $500 GOLD Conion C100!).
Such a cheap M90 to let slip through to save a couple dollars. Maybe he realized the original price of $125 was more than fair and couldn't believe you talked him down more and wanted him to run around and find a shipper and wait 2 days to get paid!
I'm just bust'n your chops a little, but I just noticed that your offer/conversation is at the bottom of the old listing LOL.
Keep your eyes open for the next one!
