It's the disregard for your time. That is the worst. It takes 5 seconds to text or call a person, so choosing to just ignore repeated calls, knowing you have an appointment, is just 100% disrespectful. Pat on the back, James, for how you handled everything. 👏 You're a good person and a class act. Your concern over the guy's safety is commendable.

You got to be careful about making videos like this, especially as your channel grows. It opens the door to scammers + trolls who may love the notion of purposefully scamming you in the future to see your reaction in videos.

I feel for you quick courtesy call would have alleviated soooo much frustration.

Goes to show that some people truly could care less about others. Being considerate speaks volumes and when you aren't straight up with someone sbout the situation, aka selling the collection to another person, it causes grief. Thank goodness for the other collection you picked up!

Unfortunately it’s a risk of the reselling business. I’ve been stood up many times as a buyer and a seller.

The measure of a man isn't how he acts when things go well but how he acts when things don't. Youre frustration is very understandable and I respect how you handled it

[ccculture]

At least you got some sort of explanation. I normally do not if I find myself in that situation. You didn't get screwed you got inconvenienced.

[T.Edwards]

Dude…..I’m sorry to hear that! I would have been furious as well not only that my time was wasted, but like you said not even a courtesy call in a time where communication is very easy accessible!! Just happy you got that bigger haul

[NextGenCollector]

At least you got the call back lol! I’ve had a time where I drove out of my way to sell someone something and they ghosted and blocked me…

[derektitov]

I think it's the lack of a courtesy call that leaves me in awe. Oy. That kind of behaviour always cheeses me off.

[HeroicAge]

This whole situation is extremely weird. If he needed the money that quickly it sounds like he is probably in a bad way and isn’t even thinking about things like you driving all the way out maybe

[danfoley]

Glad the 1 collection that you did get was a good one, helps to cushion the blow. I admire your optimism that the other guy is actually going to send you the promised check. Don't hold your breath!

[macorourke]

That's totally not cool. Happy the other collection worked out for You. Thanks again for sharing Your passion and adventures from Toronto Ontario Canada 😀👍♥️🇺🇸🇨🇦♥️💯💯

[Sammmmmmmm]

Something similar happened to me while buying Video Games. I'm still angry about that 😆

[justinshannon]

Damn dude. Yeah I'd be pissed too. I'm glad you at least were able to get the other collection. Makes you wonder if the dude has a drug addiction or something that he was willing to take a hit just to get the money a little faster.

[johnnydropkicks]

The guy should also pay for you and your wife’s ice cream. 😊

[ComicCollectorGeek]

Basic courtesy is important especially if someone is doing you a favor and going out of their way. He really should have called you.

[BrokeBoyComics]

That absolutely sucks, for you to go out of your way just for him to sell it to someone else is kinda disrespectful. You’re a good guy the good karma will surely come back to you.

[martezberry]

Im glad the dude did offer to send ⛽ gas money, James... Hopefully the check arrives

On an unrelated note, i would like you to know that i am not really a huge green lantern fan, but after discovering the awesome cover of green lantern 52 you featured, i HAD to pick up a copy and thank you for making me realize its existence 👍
