I mean, what a mess the guy has caused himself just because he was too lazy or not too bright enough to make a easy arrangement to have the machine shipped. Something in his head isn't right cause he payed for the machine and was happy to leave the money spent for ages before he finally decided to go postal.lol
You have bent over backwards Gav and have practically done absolutely EVERYTHING you could have done for him and he still hasn't just organised the acceptance of freight.
You are a lot more generous than most, I would have just kept the money n sent the machine to the address he provided.
Lose the money in shipping n keep the rest $, versus lose some selling fees n still retain the machine. You have been too kind.
*Maybe his Dad did pass away, maybe he isn't thinking straight at all like someone said, maybe he has had a mental breakdown. Maybe he will send someone, maybe he will come himself, who knows, but at this stage u have done your best not to inflame things incase he does hold a grudge or go further postal. Threatening or not threatening, u just never know what upset people will do. I think u have handled a troubled person rather well by staying neutral which I think is definitely the best thing to do. Hope the nightmare ends soon and u can sell he machine to another wanting n grateful person.
