    I have to say the thread was a bit harsh

    That being said, you really should try to keep the promises you make here. People take the promises made here seriously. You got a ticket, shirt or poster for me? Cool. Dont be surprised when you get called out if you fuck it up.

    And its not about the money, its about the fact that someone relied upon your promise, to their detriment, to make something happen, and you failed to live up to that promise.

    no need for threats or any of that stuff

    But dont make a promise here that you cant keep, its just not right. People trust each other here, and when that trust is broken, people get angry.

    yep, understandable, promises were broken to me as well many times and i wasn;t refunded, so... i decided to keep it. it's not so bad. not for nothin', but he didn;t include his statement where twice he said, "you WILL send me that poster". lol. and who threatened anyone? i simply said i decided to keep the poster and refunded his money in full, promptly.

    don;t tell me what i am going to do, i do what i want... period. as we all should.

    peace

    You did what you want is not a reasonable thing to say.

    He paid for the poster. You promised him a poster in exchange for the money.

    When you realized you liked the experience/poster, contacting him to ask his permission to reufnd the money would have worked out much better.

    You technically can't do what you want since his money was in your hands, but you could have asked him to do what you want.

    The situation as a whole was handled very poorly

    The true character of a person is not how he describes himself... rather how he is described by others.
    ...
    A Promise is a promise. There is no valid arguement to that statement.

    well if it helps, i miracled two lovely ladies from wishlist, so this falls by the wayside in my book. i shouldn;t have sold it in advance. i'll admit that, but refunding his money, when there are probably 1,000's of these ugly things out there for less than $50 at that... well... i did what was right (by my code, not yours, his, or anyone elses), and in the end, i do what i want when i want. i do what benefits my family first, then myself second.

    if you don;t like that... well... heh....

    wheine-akin?
    french cries?

    in the meantime, have a good night and see ya at the next batch of shows...
