Sean you're gettin incensed by a pantless rookie. I was actually angry with myself that I let myself get angry... which made me MORE angry. I think why it bugged me so much is because, out of the blue, I was called a liar... and by someone in the community I feel most safe and accepted and respected in. I encounter dip*&^%s in life all the time and I don't let it both me, but here among the sword collecting community I feel safe, understood... and respected. I've worked hard to earn that respect, and I'm proud of the reputation I have among the sword forums. So I was just taken aback by in insult from a source and in a place I just didn't expect it. Whatever. It is what it is. I just needed to vent to my sword brethren a little bit. Thanks for listening.

For those of us who know you Sean, such a claim is ridiculous. This issue cast no reflection on you. This was poorly handled but not by you. Your communications appear to have been clear, concise, and timely as usual. Since he took it public, as you say, the ball is in his court if he wishes to patch this up either public or private.

No worries Sean, I still believe you to be one of the most honest and trustworthy sellers and members on this site. I think a lot of buyers here forget that whomever is selling a item isn't a vendor or manufacture and doesn't have the resources let alone time to treat each transaction like one. Kudos to you for being one of the few who do take the time and overall attention to each sale in the classifieds thread like one.
If you ever feel your integrity is on the chopping block again go look through the Members Feedback thread and read through all the positive posts in there about your private sales. I'd suggest the accusing party to do the same. I know its easy to jump to conclusions or feel like the odd man out especially when you're new. But really I'd have to say Sean is one of the top three seller/members here and if he said someone beat you to the bid he's being honest and not just picking favorites.
This thread has reminded me of my one deal with Sean a few years back regarding a Sword of Roven. I was originally supposed to buy a Roven from another member here who pretty much fell through on the deal yet spent my money sent through Paypal before deciding to fall out. Sean didn't have to step in and offer his Roven for the same price but he did and the fact he went out of his way like that for a measly $135.00 transaction speaks volumes of his charity and integrity. Thanks again Sean.
