After a couple days of e-mail pics and phone negotiating, a guy told me that he decided to buy a motorcycle I had for sale. He said he was headed out the door to the Post Office to mail me a $250.00 check so I would hold the bike till the following weekend. Check didn't come. I thought about calling or e-mailing to see what was up but I didn't want to put him on the spot. I just waited to hear from him-- never did. I sold the bike a couple weeks later.

Once the bike was sold I thought about sending him a nasty-gram that I had sold the bike and what I thought about him not having the decency to let me know he had backed out. I didn't... figured why bother.

About a month later I got a call from a woman saying that she was his wife. She called to apologize for not getting back to me about the bike. She said she knew about the deal and that he was so very excited about getting my bike. Unfortunately, she had been busy with his funeral and things...

Sometimes we don't know what we don't know.
