Heh- Well, I've never posted negatively about that whole situation but I think that the whole thing stinks and always did. I don't think Trottie knowingly set out to do anything or contribute to anything wrong but I also think that if I were in his shoes I would want to know the history behind the rock I was buying IN THIS SITUATION. All of the hoopla about the dealings of the person selling the rock would have raised flags for me. I have been a little irritated by all of this because the person selling the rock that apparently wasn't ever paid for also had a long ordeal with a tank that was never paid for and while those two defunct transactions were going on, the person was actively trying to buy a skimmer from me for more than $400.
In My opinion, if you owe someone that much money for things and keep them waiting for months due to a supposed lack of funds, you DON'T run around buying other stuff in the mean time PERIOD. Thing is, I wasn't the only person he was trying to buy things from during that time! In my mind, that equates to either a very unintelligent person or a very crooked one.
Trottie, Don't sweat this much cuz it's a done deal at this point. The tank looks nice- take things slow....
