So here's my bitchout. I'm so freaking frustrated. I've been talking with these people about getting a lot of shells from them for a great price. I'm talking about around 8 or 9 large mason jars fill to the brim. Plus 2 or 3 gallon ziplocks full of larger shells, plus a solid bag of sand dollars. Not quite Lion's paw large, but close. I've been keeping up to date with them, sending them an email about once a week. We were supposed to meet up sometime last week when they came down to my town. I didn't have any contact about that at all. So I sent an email, got a response a while later saying that they had sold them to someone else. They had me wrapped around their finger with me thinking that I was going to be able to buy this amazingly cheap lot of shells. ($15 for all of them) They never said anything like "Well if we find someone closer, or who can come to us, we'll sell to them." kind of thing. I didn't even get a 'Hey we sold these already, sorry" email until after I emailed them. I had the cash in my hand, waiting to find out when I could meet with them, and they knew this. I hate when people pull bullshit like this. It's like they broke a contract. I was promised first 'dibs' on these, and they sold them out from under me instead.
Am I just being unreasonable? Should I just be like "Oh well, maybe I'll be able to find 'Something' like this again." I just feel like I was ripped off.
