Bob, I cannot answer your private messages because that is the way you have it set up. I also emailed you twice since Wednesday and they never were returned, so I assume they went through. The email address I used is the one you mention above. There is a definite need for you to look into your messaging systems.
As far as the bike, my first email on Wednesday indicated to you that I also have it listed on Ebay and needed confirmation of your purchase in the form of a return email or payment.
I have heard nothing from you since then until today. I have also emailed you two or three times in the past 7 months with no answers. You might have used a filter to block certain people, like it seems you did on here.
I waited two days for you, but communication is key. I find it impossible to believe that I am the only one that can't get a message to you through the CABE or direct email. Haven't others complained of this?
I did my part and waited much longer than I normally would have, but I had to move on.
My attempt to let you know that I had emailed you twice is right here in this thread for everyone to see.
Saying "I'll buy it" with no follow up in a timely manner doesn't mean it's a done deal.
