You probably don't work but I do. This was my first chance to respond to PMs. It's pending sale.

IMO, Its just common courtesy to post a sale pending without keeping several others on hold all day, so others like myself can move on.
To insinuate that I don't have a job like you is just ignorant on your part.
I actually have two jobs that I did today, in fact, I'm working right now, but yet still find time to respond to your sarcasm.
Besides, it did get your attention to respond quickly, just as I expected it would.

Manny - your responses have been uncalled for unwarranted.

Cleaning up your unnecessary posts.

Ken,

As much as Bill gets on to us about posting status and making sure we try to be as informative as possible is what my expectation of the seller as well.
I am surprised at you, calling my comments unwarranted when I, as well as others had an interest in actually purchasing the product. I personally have tried to send numerous PM's and since the seller did not respond, I was not sure if he had it pending or not, since he did not have it listed as either. I fully understand your position, but I feel you do not understand ours as prospective buyers. Sorry if it offends you and others, but Im surprised at the others taking pop shots as well. So be it...

I also invited two close friends to buy this ball head, since I already own one, but I can see it was a mistake on my behalf.

I understand we are asking for updates to the for sale threads, but there are users who dont have a smartphone or may be away from the internet for days on vacation, etc. There wasn't a need to be snarky about it, and Andy(Vindure) didn't add to this conversation.

I've taken Vindure's responses out as well, I've only quoted the posts of concerns.

Able can check my PMs. I have not received a PM from you. There have been posts on this thread but I have only received actual PMs from one member here, Jerome. It may have been because my box was full while I was working. It has been clear this evening. I also have other listings for the head (including Craigs list, etc) and the head is pending sale via face to face transaction.

Your questioning my response time and implying that I am possibly lazy is obviously insulting. Not all of us have the luxury of spending our time monitoring our classifieds and posting replies.

Now please leave my thread so it can have a peaceful closing.

Unfortunately, your PM box was full.
As stated, I said I tried numerous times, I sent two of my friends over to you, but only one my friends did get through, that I sent your way.
It just would have been nice to list it as pending, thats all.
So what exactly are you implying? I don't understand?
Its frustrating when you try to help someone by calling your friends to get this item, only to find that there was no way to make contact. You see my point here?

At the risk of adding to this heated discussion, I wish to say that Manny is a good friend of mine. It was he who directed me to this sales listing. I would not have known about it otherwise as I do not frequent this site. Indeed, one could make the case that he was acting as a sales rep for you.

I can appreciate and understand both sides of the argument here, and I hope that your face to face sale goes through as planned. Athough, as you pointed out, many of these transactions do not pan out. I received your PM yeterday at 7:58am and made an immediate offer of your full asking price. I am not sure how one could infer that we expect you to spend all of your "time monitoring our classifieds and posting replies..."

So, with all that being said, please consider my offer to purchase this item withdrawn.
