I am not sure what Ohio oil meant by that, if it was sarcastic or how it came out. Never swore at the guy, called him names, just told him that he made the deal on the phone and in my thinking if I would have been closer and came earlier I would have possibly owned the pump. By the way it was not just minutes later, probably 10 at least.
Again, it was a mistake on his part and I showed him or tried to that it was a life lesson and even he had to laugh when I told him that the mistake would probably never happen again.
I have had many people honor what they said on the phone even later when others have asked to sell for more. Even gave a guy an extra $100.00 for doing so, In fact still have the pump. The Bowser 310 in which I was trying to match.
