You guys know Ron personally but I don't, so I only judged by the facts.
To be honest, by reading his posts here at PF until now I also thought Ron was a great guy.
But I can't understand his behavior on this case. I asked him politely to tell me the total price including postage. After some days he replied the total price is "X".
I asked him to verify his paypal account to send him the money, and then suddenly he said he thought that I wouldn't accept the total price and sold it to somebody else while I was waiting for his reply.
Do you think this is OK? Wouldn't you be frustrated too if you were in my place? The guy might be your buddy, but try to think objectively for a moment.
And the thing that really pissed me and made me bring it here, was ignoring my emails and PMs and not giving any explanation.
He could have replied giving an explanation and everything would be OK.
Anyway, it seems Ron has a fan club here so, since there's no point, I'll stop banging my drum (or digging my hole) in vain.
