This is the 2nd time I have piped up to you about one of your threads being allot of BS. So get of your high horse and quit crying about being a victim all the time. I will agree with most here about you putting up a thread and then keep adding things to it to make yourself look like a victim. Look at it this way, you waited to give anymore info until page 5, that was after you got kicked in the head several times. Now your crying about a head injury is causing you to say things out of text! I guess you like being the victim all the time, and think everyone should have a pitty party for poor old Tracklayer all the time. You have accused several members about them kicking you in the head, then look for expect them to say their sorry. Not this time for me! [:D] Step aside boys! I want another kick, maybe I can kick it over the fence this time! You dug this hole Tracklayer, so lay in it. ICRR1964, you've gone completely overboard... Let's you and I just keep our distance from now on. Everyone can see that you're really enjoying running me down. One of these days you'll be the one on the short end of things and I'll be there to get my kick or two in - with interest. TL opps, did you forget this, and no you haven't had a chance to go back and check on what you said, looks like the head injury is showing!!!! reeks of hypocricy!!!!! to high heaven!!!! you can't resist can you??????[xx(][xx(][xx(][xx(][xx(][xx(][xx(][}:)][}:)][}:)]

QUOTE: Originally posted by dannydd Well, if Tracklayer said he wants to now kick ICRR in the face, then he's no better, probably shouldn't have made this comment to bring this topic to the front again, aw well. Without LHSs how are we going to get new people involved in the hobby too!???!!!
QUOTE: Originally posted by Adelie Well, we seem to be split into several distinct camps here: 1) Those who think the hobby shop owner is right. Some think he is always right because the Constitution guarantees him the right to do whatever he wants and forbids customers from going elsewhere or saying anything not glowing about the experience. 2) Some think Tracklayer is a chronic complainer who should be tarred, feathered, shot, the body burned at the stake and the ashes collected, put in a can and given to NASA to ship into outer space. 3) Some who think he should be summarily executed for threatening to be done with the LHS. After all, as the LHS goes, so goes the hobby, so goes the economy, and thus the fate of the free world. Why he must be some sort of communist or something. 4) Some who think Tracklayer is right and the hobby shop in question should be burned to the ground. 5) Still others who don't know if he is right or wrong, but think that, since it's his money, he can spend it where he likes. Those same people probably also believe that, if they don't want to hear what he has to say, they can ignore the thread. Does that about sum it up?

Maybe he/she could of sold it before and they didn't know if you were coming back or not. What insurance do they have? Now if you did put a deposit down or confirm the price with them before you left that day it would be a different story, then I would say, find a new shop or a new way to shop!

He's not happy unless hes got his name up in lights. If he's dumb enough to drive that far for a good deal and then drive back. Well? It was an expensive day that day then. Not to notice his thread he started is almost identical to a post someone left about a week ago, but the words have been changed around. [zzz] ZZZZZZZZZZZ! Not so fast...if I had agreed to purchase a loco and the proprietor had agree to set it aside, and visibly put it under the counter, the deal was for $99.95 and it was sealed. If I drove all that way to find that he had jacked up the price 25% in anticipation of my wanting it, that is tantamount to breach of contract, and I could probably win in small claims court. I'm not a lawyer, so I could be wrong, especially with respect to that state's law. In my books, that way of doing business is "smarmy." Crandell, Another way to look at this is that Tracklayer waited 'til page five to mention that the loco was set aside for him... maybe it's just me, but it sounds a little like embellishing the story to favor his complaint(whining). I have never understood why everyone who has a problem with eBay, a LHS or an online dealer has to flood the forum with their complaints. These issueswould be better handled if they would just contact the person that they have the issues with. I am fairly certain that if this evil shop owner could give his side of the story, we would probably hear a completely different version. Regardless, the shop owner has every right to price his merchandise as he sees fit... it's up to us to decide to buy or not buy. And slinging mud without giving the other party an opportunity to defend themselves is a cowardly way to handle things. Tracklayer, if you feel so strongly that you were done wrong, confront the owner... stand up to him. We can do nothing about this. Also, I fully support my LHS.... both of them. And I appreciate them as much as they appreciate my bidness. I am thankful to have a LHS where I can purchase items or just shoot the bull for hours. I guess some folks wake up looking for things to complain about... I deal with folks like this all of the time. Life's way too short for that. Dave Understood, Dave, but until I have incontrovertible evidence that Tracklayer is fibbing, I feel I should take what he tells me at face value. Now, I am not so naive that I don't realize that most of us use hyperbole from time to time, but if we are to accept the facts as stated, then I stand by what I said. If a witness were to offer proof that the events did not take place, I might agree that his waiting to toss in the trump until much later might be taken as grandstanding, or an attempt to save face. God knows we have seen that tactic on this forum before. -Crandell

QUOTE: Originally posted by Brunton QUOTE: Originally posted by Tracklayer The reason I was so mad was because I'd told the guy I'd be back in a couple of weeks to get the engine and he took it out of the case and put it under the cabinet for me. At that time it was priced at $99.95. Two weeks later I come back to get it and he's marked it up to $124.95... Now you see what I'm saying. Wouldn't you be a little ticked off too ?. Aside of all this. What type loco is that in the photo you're showing in your replies ?. TL The loco is one of the earlier P2K 0-6-0s. I figure in another six months or so it'll have collected enough dust to be considered fully weathered![:D]
