Default venting!!!

I had a bike lined up to buy but I waited three days for money to transfer from my paypal to my bank and sure as hell the bike got a deposit in those three days. I found out there wasn't even a deposit on the bike but a verbal hold which I guess they will hold for someone for 24 hrs. So I have 2500 cash to throw down and this charlie with a verbal hold got me beat. WTF!!!

WOW I'm more amazed that someone was still worth their word now a days. Sux for you though. Hey look on the bright side, that bike wasn't for you cause it's going to be back in the shop in 2 weeks. Yours is on it's way.

Might not be a bad idea. His verbal must have sounded better than your verbal.
