I was so excited for today, I thought I would be able to post not one, but two complete rainbows at the end of today, butttttt
Last week I see a super I need to complete a rainbow pop on ebay, seller wants a very unreasonable amount but has OBO so I message and explain my offer. No cheese, were still far apart. OK, no big deal, he's going to be at the TriStar show in SF today and he'll take it, I'll bring cards and cash, we'll get something done. I accept the fact I'm going to over pay b/c you're stuck when it's a super right? So I convince my wife we should go, I reschedule a job and confirm on Wednesday with the guy that I'm going, he says sounds good. This morning we wake up and head out to SF from Modesto (about an hour and a half), I text the guy when I get to Oakland that I'm on my way. He texts back right away, "Bad news man, a guy bought all the cards I have yesterday." WTF?!?!?! I couldn't freaking believe it! Look, it's his cards, I get that, he can get rid of them if he wants, that's not y I'm mad. I'm mad because I literally changed my work schedule around to go to this show for this one specific card and dude can't even shoot me a text saying he doesn't have it anymore? I had talked to this guy on the phone, told him I have to talk to my wife and move work around to attend and he said he understood let him know and we'll work out a deal. I thought I made it perfectly clear that I would trade and pay in his favor to get this card. I ask him if he knows the guy, he gives me an ebay name so I already messaged the new owner with no reply yet. Even my wife was mad because she knew to reschedule work I really wanted this card. It's just cards but seriously a little respect for others would be nice. Plus I'm pretty irritated he didn't give me one final chance to offer before he sold it.
We needed up having a nice day after that though, took the baby to the beach. Hard to stay mad when you're sitting in Pacifica and it's damn near 80 degrees
