What's not to trust about this? He's offered to send money in order to pay for goods. If you get no money by the time of the show...no big deal, and if you DO get money, get the goods, and send them back...well, everyone is happy.
I can see you point here; If the person doing the favor buys good with their own money in hopes that they'll see a reimbursement...but that's just foolish and he/she should no better...in this case, he's offering money. Seems okay to me.

biggest wave you are a joke. you are defending yourself by saying you never called him a name or a liar, yet that is precisely what you did and why people are calling you an insensitive dick.
defending myself? defending myself from what?
I do not need to defend myself from anything.
if you aren't defending yourself and your position what exactly are you doing in this thread still?
Responding to people like you that keep bringing it up.
Stupid me. I thought that's what you were supposed to do on a message board.
hello to all, this is Tiffany, Steve's Friend. he had surgery on friday and he is doing good, and still in hospital.some people seem to really care and someone is not very nice...yes there are a lot of scammers in this world yet Steve is a great person even though he is disabled and been stuck in bed for 6 months. hopefully now he will be able to heal and get back in that wheelchair, better than a bed and maybe be healthy enough to go to concerts again. anyhow, i am at his house replying to you all and whenever he gets home, i am sure some good souls outhere thought of him just like pearlgirl did and this other lady who is bringing home some souvenirs for him. even the biggest wave crashes sometimes.... thank you for STeve. bye tiffany :geek:

This was one odd thread. I believe the guy is ill, but I am wondering why he didn't do this via PMs.
I am glad someone is helping him out.
I have to say, though, I have never seen a message like this on this site and it seemed so odd that I understand why others may question the entire thing.
I also was bed bound for 8 months, then housebound for over a year. A guy who frequents this site happened to live by me. I posted that I wanted a certain boot and he delivered the goods. It was a true boot that I had half of, but I knew the other half was out there, plus some of the video. It was of a show I attended. It was when they would make boots of all the shows available for a little while after the show, but then you couldn't get it. I was sick and didn't get the original one, but I knew of this one and this guy had it, made me a copy and met me to give it to me.
So, actually, 2 kind people from here got this together for me.
I'm so shocked at what BiggestWave just wrote that I don't even know what to say...except he better not ever come around here asking for favors.
I have not and will not ever ask anyone for a favor. Not only from this
message board, but life in general. That's one thing you'll never have to worry about.
I'm really sorry to hear that....you just never know when you'll need a shoulder to lean on...you can't do everything by yourself.
is it that youve never asked for a favour cause you know your a jerk and people will say no?
makes much more sense to live in the present tense

No. It's because I've learned throughout my life that doing things on my own
yields a better feeling in the end instead of always looking for hand-outs.

BTW, that would be YOU'RE a jerk. Nice job.
ive done many a thing solo and many a thing with assistance from my friends
i find somethings can be more enjoyable when asking a friend for a favour
like asking help putting up a christmas tree
or asking help when moving
these things to me are all asking a favour of someone and i personally find it more enjoyable with help from others then doing it solo...
as for my bad spelling....
im sorry
but i dont need to be a spelling nazi
i have friends i can count to correct me on a proof read
another favour id ask

Can I ask a favour? I don't want to be indebted to you, as I don't feel I ought to be. I'm asking you do this out of the goodness of your heart. Would you just stop this discussion? I personally love the fact that someone in a time of crisis can come to this community, and have sincere help offered, and you are tainting the goodness encompassed by this thread. Your cynicism shows your immaturity, and your unwavering inability to see past your own pain shows your selfishness which far exceeds your care or concern for the OP, and I don't feel this is a fair treatment for him or her. As others have said, as a side note, the OP did offer payment up front, I believe, to minimize the risk for whatever good samaritan chooses to help him or her, so I'd say there's no reason to linger or discuss. I won't post more on this, because it takes two to debate (or in this case, argue), and I won't be the other guy.

I only respond when someone asks me a question as did missisles and now you. I was done with this topic on Nov 19th until missisles asked me a direct question on Dec 3rd. If no one responds directly to me or asks me a direct question then I do not respond. If someone responds to me or does ask me a direct question then I will respond. See how that works?
Update: I should be leaving the hospital tomorrow. Thank you everyone who was sincere in their posts, replies and their help. ESPECIALLY BIGGEST WAVE! YOU ARE ON MY CHRISTMAS LIST. Once again thank thanks to everyone else.
