Well, from what I remember...early on he had nine grand to put into purchasing a bus.  Now seems he said he was getting this one for $3,320.00 or something like that.  I was amazed that there was quibbling in $75.00 increments.
But what really got my goat was the part about buying it on a BUy It Now, and we all know it was never offered like that.  If I would have been bidding on it...I would have some questions!

yeah I think I commented on the bitching over 75.oo in the other thread.

likely it is a good thing if it did not happen......as I had doubts this kid knew what he was getting into.

9k budget for any highway based Conversionis ludicrous (sp?)

I too would like to hear what happened, but I think you guys are being way too hard on him.  I like to consider all the people on this board as friends until proven otherwise, and I would not ever talk about a friend the way you have here.  Even if things don't add up in our minds, none of us knows the circumstances behind his comments and situation.

So Mike, what happened on your purchase?

Jim, I agree, I like to think we are all friends here too.

He has been asked several times, what's going on.  He has yet to answer. 

I am known for challenging my friends when they have done things that me and others think should have been done differently.  Most of them take the lesson and run with it.  Sometimes I have to say I am sorry, that I did not have all of the information. 

A lot of information was given on this thread and another as well as several other forums. 

We are curious as to whether Mike has a bus or not.  He started out looking at a Buffalo, somewhere in there he said a Scenicruiser was his dream bus...at that time I told him maybe he should wait on a 'Cruiser, he probably would not be happy with anything else.  Thats where we are now.

Jim, I said, "I am known for challenging my friends when they have done things that me and others think should have been done differently.  Most of them take the lesson and run with it.  Sometimes I have to say I am sorry, that I did not have all of the information."

Let me expound on this.  It is clear that from what we have been told that Mike and the seller took this sale off ebay, if you doubt it, read the posts here and the other longer one.  I think that was not fair to the other bidders.  Now can me and Mike still be friends, you bet!

Actually, It looked like someone with fidgeting fingers edited the thread for content somewhere along the way.

That's why the story looks goofy at this point, The original center of contention is missing so everything looks out of context now.

I expect we will hear how that all worked out in another week or so.

Quibbling over $75 is just crazy.. If it were thousands or hundreds that would be expected.. Not over $75 .... Fuel costs more than that....

Jim, you might want to read the other thread if you haven't, it might 'splain' some of the questions.
