johnny, quite frankly, you are incorrect on several fronts.
you want to say i have a bad attitude? you go right ahead and do that. that doesn't hurt my feelings one bit.
i placed a bid on the amp over a week ago on jan 24th, here quite plainly on the thread in a completely transparent way, which at the time of the supposed end date to this ef auction was the one and only bid given here or noted by its seller.
regardless to that, the only opportunity i was given to buy the amp was to bid on it via an in game auction done today. i passed any opportunity to do so. i was also offered many times the ability to take the BO on the amp, which i also passed on, due to my having the one and only bid on it for the last week.
someone else who was interested enough in the amp to play the in game live auction that it became with the OP was told repeatedly that i was bidding on the amp at that time. i was not, nor did i have any intention to do so. if the person that the OP was selling for did not wish to accept my 12k offer, that's fine, but parading around my interest in the amp to get a higher price is a bit of the bullshit and that's what occured here, imo.
giving that bidder the information that i was bidding on the amp, was false, and used as a pretense to raise the amount he was willing to pay on the amp.
this is the last time i will deal with the OP here for any reason whatsoever. and i wish the buyer of the a204 the best.
it is ofc the OP's right to do whatever he wished with his amp. it is my right to no longer deal with that person.
cheers,
