I am so sorry to hear this. I was anxiously reading to the end on your thread...resisting the temptation to skip past everything to see how the story turned out...to see what you got for him, and when you picked up that little angel. You might check again with her. If she "forgot" about you, she just may "forget" about the next potential new owner, too, or vice versa if she's the ditz she sounds like she could be, and then you could run right over after him.
She may just be hoping for a 'better price' or something...private auction, I call that, and I have been a victim for other items. There's this technique where something is advertised, then a lot of hemming and hawing, a lot of reasons why it cannot be shipped or they cannot take your payment...we were told payment had to be by check, we wouldn't get the item for close to a month, but he wouldn't give us an address. We suggested Paypal, so they could get paid immediately then ship the item, then they had to go to town and would get back to us later, etc...but...then you are (we were) told the 'item' was sold to someone else (who wasn't in a negotiation process with the 'seller' beforehand) because they think someone else will "pay more" than they have agreed to sell the item to you for in a done deal except for the money changing hands...then, if you inquire under a different name, you will be told the item is still available.
Whatever happens, if this was not meant to be, when it is, nothing will go wrong. You will find him/her because your baby awaits! :p :D |
