    Very disappointed with bow freak. Had been messaging multiple times throughout the week about an optic. Comes to Saturday when we are supposed to meet. Sent him 3 messages and he ghosted.

    Even sader.
    Just a simple call would calm me down.
    Not even a call is akin to saying - -> FORK YOU !! --- SAWMAN

    There is another thread with negative reviews also. He left a friend hanging last week. Set up a meet time and didn't show. No call or anything.

    I certainly am not bailing on you. I don't have a cell phone that I am attached to at all times. There are days on end when I don't touch my phone or even know where it is. I do appologize for forgetting to get back with you yesterday and can meet you whenever you are ready.

    Many of the wheeler dealers on the forum have made a part time business out of buying and reselling and expect everyone to be available immediately. This is supposed to be a hobby and fun , not a on time on schedule business venture. I doubt that I’ll sell anything else , but if I do don’t expect an instant response from me . I sometimes leave my phone at home on purpose. It could be a whole day before I respond to an offer. :)

    Sounds to me an appointment was made and he didn't come through. Phone left home or not. If I set a time I honor it or give advance notice I can't.
    That sounds reasonable , I guess I’m just more casual about my hobby than a lot of folks are. :cool::)

    I'd think if you make an appointment with someone, you'd show up, phone or not?

    This has nothing to do with being casual or being a hobby or even about guns. I wished to hell I didn't have a schedule, I'd do what I want when I wanted. Not contacting someone who your setting plans with is just wrong imo. Whether it be buying a gun or a vacuum cleaner or setting a meet for a cookout.

    Oh in June? I am sorry that happened. I already openly appologized and also said that whatever I can do to correct any loss you may have had because of that please let me know but perhaps you didn't see it.

    The last correspondence I have from you is June 20th and you said you were going to think on a deal tha we were talking about.
    So when was this because I truly do not remember but would like to find out.

    Also, I very well could have deleted the messages when I deleted some to clear up space but I don't think so.
    I faIl to see why saying that I am not insinuating that G-Rat is incorrect and it could be that I deleted the old messages is funny.
    But hey I get it... My children find stuff funny that isn't too.
