So I guess it’s a testament to the calibre of people on here that a faux-pas I’d made (totally by accident) was so readily accepted by all parties - I can only imagine the fallout on other forums.
So, I list some pinballs, six in total
User 1 sees the mail and posts to say dm on the way with regards machine a
User 2 sees the mail and sends me a dm to purchase machine a
User 3 also sees the mail and sends me an enquiry about machine a
Whilst all this happening, I’m fielding lots of messages both sympathizing with my situation (stroke forcing sake) and enquiring about machines b-f inclusive.
Nothing weird there then other than at some point, I don’t know how or when, I’ve accidentally set IGNORE on User 1. So I see neither the post he made or the dm, so he misses out on the opportunity.
User 2, starts his dm talking about the dm I got but if it falls through, he’ll have it. I pull a face as if to say ‘what dm?’ And say it’s still available.
User 3 gets a “next in line” message Incase it falls through.
A few hours later, user 1 posts a question if it has been saved for him as he’s had no dm. At that point I notice a small message saying user is ignored. (I have never ignored anyone)
So, bit of a mess.
My feelings are that it’s unfortunate but I have had the chat with user 2 and sale agreed.
Now I feel badly about user 1 no matter that this accidental and I couldn’t even blame beer.
I’ve put the situation back to user 2 to see what his view is now that I get what he was originally saying.
This is a very impeccable forum.
