So I send him a message last night if he could send me his number so I can call, still crickets, then I get a message with send your number and I will get straight back to you, so instantly I sent my number, crickets again.
Like WTF, do you wanna sell it or not ?, a contact number with the first yes would have had this deal done and dusted.
I will just buy the other one that's listed instead, little further out, but at least I will have the job done by the time this other peanut calls me.

I was about to tell another seller that I would buy his tub and this Knob throttler finnaly contacts me with a address, so against my better judgement I go to pick it up.
So half hour drive to get there, well when I get there, there is a MR Triton tub that looks like it has been dropped off the back of a truck, not a straight panel on it, I would say worse than the one we are going to replace, he comes out and I just turn and start walking away, he yells out arent you going to make me a offer, F'ing time waster, so I drive home to find the other 1 I was looking at has gone off Facebook
.
I have now found another, I hope its as he has described, will see tonight when I get there.
