[QUOTE="Seattlite86, post: 3022359, member: 59737"]Thank you for your thoughts. I know that I’m prone to be short tempered and I also have extremely high expectations of myself above all and others. In that, I often assume that mistakes like this are intentional because I overthink things and would not have done the same thing. I’m working on changing this. It’s much easier to do when it’s electronic and I have time to sit and think. As a follow up, we spoke for a bit and he stuck with his belief that his timespan was justified. At this point, it’s a normative argument and we are both right, so no point in arguing that. He offered to sell me the coins again, for the same price, suggesting he would keep his word, as long as I accepted a delayed delivery schedule. This time, he dropped the shipping costs to $6 and then I paid $20 for the items instead of the $1. Same total price for me, but differently balanced. What does this mean? I get the coins for the same price, netting me $5 and he gets the assurance of accepting a later delivery as well as another satisfied customer. I truthfully think that the seller handled this in the most professional way possible, especially when I, as the customer, suggested I felt he was being dishonest. I’ve got no reason at this point to believe that he intentionally canceled the order because of the low sell price. Technically, he pulled in $19 more than previously, but that’s not really my concern as I still make money on the purchase. He will get positive feedback and five stars all around when the coins arrive. This does go to show that initial impressions and understandings can be wrong, or at the least, that discourse is better than hasty actions out of frustration. Sometimes asking for more information and being a little patient can pan out in the long run. Thank you everyone, for your input.[/QUOTE]
