No- but its too complicated to try to explain. He ended up not holding it for the other person after a phone call
I wonder what happened with his other deal?
Here's what happened with an "airplane for sale" at my airport.
The owner tells me he wants to sell his (model redacted),
a model that a couple friends of mine are looking for.
I tell one of the guys about it, he calls about it, nothing apparently happened.
Then I tell the other guy, he goes to a lot of trouble to come over to look at it, nothing happened.
Talking to this guy afterward, he sez the owner wanted to talk about the airplane--
but he didn't seem to want to talk about actually selling it.
When I called & asked him, the first guy said the same thing.
I tell the owner- hey if you don't wanna sell, that's fine,
but tell me so I don't waste anyone else's time by siccing them on you.
"Oh no, I need to sell it". OK.
I sic a third friend on him, a local guy, they email and text back & forth extensively.
I finally tell my buddy if he wants to actually buy this airplane, not just talk about it,
he better make a date to physically look at the airplane, and make an offer if he wants it.
He sets that up, comes & looks at it,
and sez "I wanna buy it. What's the price?"
The owner tells him the asking price, my buddy sez "I'll take it",
then the owner starts making excuses why he can't sell it.
The next day the owner tears into the plane, and tells my friend "I can't sell it now, it's took apart".
I told the owner if he wants to jerk himself off pretending he wants to sell his plane, that's fine,
but it was BS of him to waste our time (and my credibility) by jerking us off too.
