"Who's on First?" at the 'Gon

Just thought I'd share a moment of absurdity I experienced during a transaction yesterday over at the 'Gon. Follow me on this...

An individual had some cables for sale. I e-mailed him asking if they were still available. He responded with an affirmative. I said I would take 'em for the price offered, if they met certain specifications. He assured me they did, and asked for me to let him know as he had another offer.

I replied by saying "I'll take 'em". He gave me his address. I e-mailed with another question -- one which wasn't a deal-breaker, as I was already set. He responded by stating "Sorry sold, had an email an hour earlier then your email". I replied... "I'm sorry. Didn't you just offer me the cables. I thought I was first in line and the ball was in my court." You even gave me your address for crying out loud...

He then said, "Now I'm confused, yes you are 1st in line. The cables are yours if you'd like to buy them."

:confused::confused::confused:
(at this point, my schizo meter is running in the red)

anyway...

Then it hit me. I'm both buyers:D I'm bidding against myself. I was both late and early to the party. Victor and loser both. Jeee-zzzuss:D
I immediately let him know of my suspicions. And attempted to confirm this by putting my physical address in both the Tweede-Dee thread and the Tweedle-Dum thread.

This poor guy.... the short and sweet of it is that two different addys were showing up on his end. How? I don't know. I thought I was responding to the same thread.

Good good stuff:D
I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore
