Good on you for posting this. We all have messed up at one time or another, I'm sure!!! Dealing with the aftermath is what really matters.

The purpose was not to insult you or kick you while you were already down. There is a lesson here for all of us and an answer to how such instances can be 100% avoided by anyone. Sincerely sorry how my message came across.
Thank you for your public statement. It takes integrity and class to come before the public and make such a post.
If there are those who feel otherwise, please let it go.
The point of this thread is to mend fences and learn from errors made, not to drag it out any further than it has to or to add to the issue which has been resolved.
The affected party has accepted the statement for what it is.
Good enough for me, and it should be good enough for all of us.
I want to publicly apologize to fellow member, Jimmyinkedup. I got impatient today with my perceived lack of response from him to finalize a purchase from me in the B/S/T forum earlier today. I had others interested and ended up hastily selling a shave kit to another member. At the time, I wanted to get the kit shipped off to a buyer before going out of town tomorrow morning. The end doesn't justify the means.
As the moderator pointed out ( and I didn't realize), once I gave my paypal info, I was committed to sell to the original buyer, jimmyinkedup. I was correctly chastised for not keeping my word. Integrity is important to me. I mishandled this in the midst of a somewhat hectic day. I was wrong. While there's another member out there happy there's one who isn't. I take responsibility for that.
I've had 41 sales threads here in my 5 or so years of being a member. I believe this is the first one I mishandled in such a manner as this. I've always tried to make stuff available at cost to spread the good cheer. Today I messed up. I'll try to make it up to this member if he will oblige me. Jimmy, I truly am sorry.
Real men apologize sincerely.
Real men also tend to graciously accept sincere apologies.
