Hey everyone, Have any of you ever dealt with eBay member "totherafters"? This person listed a Macon, Ga Straight Side Coke that was deformed to being exposed to extreme heat in a garbage dump many years ago. I contacted him and asked if I could pick the bottle up if I "Bought it now" because I was only 30 minutes away to which he said that was fine and he would leave it at his house on the porch. I then asked him that well, since i would be in the area, did he have any other bottles, specifically medicine bottles, he would be wanting to sell also. Figured it would be a win win for us both. He replied that he was going to renege on his offer for me to pick it up and if I wanted it he would ship it. If it wasn't on eBay he didnt have it and because of my question he was sorry for even extending an invitation for me to pick it up. He went on to say that is the reason he usually doe not let people pick up items from him because they think it is an invitation to look for other items. I promptly apologized and told him that was not the case, just that if he had anything else he was trying to sell quickly that I would be interested in buying whatever he had. I apologized a second time and left it at that. He then accused me of being a pushy buyer. I then apologized a third time and told him i was sorry for asking him a question. I stopped watching the bottle because in the end I didn't like where this was going nor did I like the $24.99 price.
