Had a guy on another site keen to buy my Mauser Vergueiro. Told him I want to wait until my QLD license comes through as I was in the process of changing it over. He said he was happy to wait and even contacted me to see how everything was tracking.

License comes through and I PM him to say if he is still keen I'm good to go and can take some photo's over the weekend.

He replies back with "no thanks"....that's it . Not a "Sorry mate, already found one" or "Moneys tight at the moment, thanks anyway"...Just No thanks

I’d rather have that reply, than a thousand excuses over three weeks.

I get some strange replies from people supposedly wanting to buy my book, Tony. Over time I've become a little case hardened.
