Would you cancel 3,250 deal cause 16 short?

I wonder if the seller was looking for an excuse to back out of the deal? Spending $50 to return funds that were short by $16.00, sounds like a better deal was offered to the seller. The only other explanation that would make some sense is, the seller's "elevator doesn't quite reach the top floor!"

I'm with Rosstaman. I don't think we know the whole story. You don't break a deal for .005%. He had a better-nearer deal.

Sincerely
I remain,

I too think Rosstaman is right on.

Rosstaman is probably right. The other possible explanation is that there are more horses asses in this world than there are horses.

Well, yes I trusted the guy, I talked to him couple of times on the phone, he is a PhD and he had 27 points on the AG feedback system. So I figured that he is not going to screw me up.

Any ways, I guess the deal was too good and he might have realized that because the next guy up was asking $6k for his. It was the Transparent XL 8ft speaker cable. Or the other theory I have is he found somebody else to pay him more. You see, he told me so before I sent the money, but I told him that I understand you will stand to gain more and I have no problem canceling the deal, he said NO it is not a money issue, I just wanted to make sure that you will buy it. I told him please review my feedback I have more than 70 points and when I say that I will buy then it is done.

The funny part is he claims that I didn’t follow the deal by paying for all the bank charges!! I have, and I instructed my bank to do so, I offered to make it up, what else could I’ve done. He said that if I leave a –ve feedback for him he would do the same. Could you believe that?

Thank you guys and I already started over and I am sure I will find something better, it just now I am listening with these old cables that don't match the level of my gear and I am sure anything else would sound better and that is why I will try not to rush.

Thanks again for your support
