Yours was for sale and then you agreed to a trade? You put was traded, so had he shipped his already, but you had not? I guess also you were trading because you thought it wouldn’t sell at an acceptable price?
If it were me and nothing had been shipped yet, and I knew you were trying to sell outright in the first place. If you said, I know we have an agreement to trade, but I got a much better cash offer I’d like to accept, I wouldn’t be upset.

No. The other party's rifle had not been shipped. He chose to use the USPS -- which was closed on Sunday. Our agreement was made on a Saturday evening. In fact, UPS delivered my rifle to him a full 2 days before his rifle was delivered to my post office.
When I make an agreement, my intention is to keep my word. I assume all other forum members operate under the same set of rules. As another member stated above "...a deal is a deal."
It was unfortunate. I was at a New Year’s Eve party. It’s done. Spilled milk. It’s a $275 scope.
@30Harry, you bad mouthed me publicly. You didn’t have to do that but whatevs. I haven’t lied. I take deals seriously and I expressed my condolences. Like I said, I’ve learned something here and will alter how I handle this situation in the future. Capisce!
Sorry OP, I know you didn’t ask for this on your thread. Happy New Year all.

A trade is one thing, cash money is another. And I totally understand, a deal is a deal for you. What a great testament to you, on any further transactions you make on here.
