Well Bob, here's my feelings on it. ....and I know you didn't ask, but you know I'm gonna tell you anyway. You've been unscrupulous in the past with malicious intent. You know you have. We know you have. But I love an underdog more than anybody and I believe in giving people second......or a 22nd chance. Whatever it takes. There's good in everybody.
Bob, you're a likeable sort. Remember all the times we just chatted on the phone for no tellin how long talkin about different builds and such we wanted to do? That was fun. I'm probably the last one you'd ever figure might defend you, but I will. If you're serious about all this........and I doubt it but I want you to be, this could be the best thing that's ever happened to you. But you're going to have to come slap clean. Including all your screen names, why you used them (we already know why, but you're gonna have to SAY IT) and be really sincere about wanting to change. That's gotta happen here. Or it's NOT gonna happen.
Don't take this the wrong way. You don't have to prove anything to ME. .......or anybody else really. It all begins and ends with you, Bob. You've had a lot of good input on this site before. You've done a lot of GOOD deals here.......that maybe you're not getting credit for. But because you've tainted it yourself, it's hard for people to see "what's good". Your feedback proves that you CAN deal right.
I'm all about giving you another chance. And if "I" am, then everybody else on here can too.......however reluctantly. Everybody likes a happy ending. You could make this one of the best, but it's all up to you. So far, I see a good start. I give you credit for that. I haven't come on here and said your apologies were half hearted or this and that......even though some are thinking it I'm sure. I'm not. I WANT to give you the benefit of the doubt. .....and I "just bet" that surprises you all to pieces.
Make us all proud, buddy. Deep down we ALL Want to believe in you.
Oh......and one more thing, FWIW. I couldn't give two flea craps about you flippin stuff. I've never cared about that and no one else should. That's the American way. Free enterprise and all that. Good for you if you can make 200 bucks profit on something. But know this. what you're flippin needs to be good quality. It was my understanding when I last knew you that you flipped parts to help you make a living. And that's cool. Lots of people do. Lots of people get all butthurt over it, too......but my opinion has always been build a bridge and get over it, because it's none of their business. Once a sale is made, that part is no longer the seller's. If the buyer bought it to flip, may he make a million off it. But may he make a million selling good, quality parts. Ask high and negotiate lower. That's always been your premise and there's nothing wrong with that. I've defended you on that before too, remember? If somebody wants something bad enough, they're going to buy it. BUT, when they pay your premium price, Bob, it NEEDS to be good quality and not a POS. That's just wrong, Bob and you know it.
We are all family here, Bob. .......and believe it or not, you're part of that family. Pull up your boot straps and start acting like it.
