user: You are replying to All about "Dealing with Dave Nemeth".

Write your reply.

assistant: I was going to purchase a 6 meter rig from Dave.  I notified him that
I wanted it and agreed on the price.  Notified him that the M.O. had
been put in the mail. He responded which told me that he knew the
money order was coming.  Waited on the gear to arrive for about 2 weeks.
Got the money order back in the mail with a note that he sold it to
someone else for a higher price. Really irritated me since we had
already made a confirmed deal. This happened about 8 months to a year
ago but still have the money order receipt in my desk drawer at work to
remind me every once in a while.
Just thought I would let everyone know just in case you decide to want
to buy the gear he has for sale.  You may or may not get the gear even
after you make a deal.
