Well…
That didn’t work out as planned. I found the Maverick listed on another forum I have been a member of for years. I called the owner (he is a member here also but I won’t divulge his name) and we talked for an hour and 15 minutes. We are exactly two hours and 30 minutes from each other so I asked if I could pick it up rather than have it shipped. We agreed on a price and penciled in the following Monday. I tried calling him Sunday to confirm things but had to leave a voicemail. I didn’t hear back so I sent a text message. He has an iPhone so I could see he read the message. The next day (Monday) I tried calling and the call immediately went to a message. I then tried to text him. The text message was never delivered nor read. He evidently blocked my number.
That’s okay if he decides to keep the rifle but don’t you think it would be courteous to tell me? Anyway, I will not be buying his Maverick nor will I ever be doing business with him in the future. I was always taught “A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches” and I should always keep my word.
It’s probably for the best. Now I’m going to save up a little more and have a talk with Martin to get what I’m familiar with with no surprises.
