Thanks @roryrens for ghosting on me after we had agreed a deal for me to buy the ram. I had planned my whole day around accommodating you. Selling the product after we had agreed to do the deal face to face is not good forum etiquette but then not answering my whatsapps or calls is just plain rude.

I expected better from a fellow carbie.

Not sure about the selling of an item after an agreement was made, but I know first hand that he has a good medical reason not to reply to whatsapp or answer calls. Just be patient with him please...
 
Hi Guys,

In response to the above, please see below.

As mentioned by @Sleepyknob I am not always available due to poor health and very rarely take calls and only respond whenever possible.

To add, as per above I allow my partner to respond to my WhatsApp messages when I am unavailable or not feeling well. I generally only wake up around 2 - 3PM.

I sent @Gnarls a message on Tuesday evening via Carbonite confirming I would accept his price, but he did not reply until Wednesday morning around 11AM, in which I confirmed I would hold the RAM until Saturday, only to find out my partner had already confirmed via Whatsapp with another member that a courier could collect the RAM without informing me. The courier rocked up to collect and payment had been made, I couldn't turn the courier away as the member already incurred costs.

As for missed calls, I'm not aware of these and received no voicemail,. Confirmation regarding meeting up on Saturday wasn't confirmed as I can't meet up due to the use of a wheelchair.

However, that being said, It was not my intention and is not my intention to upset any other members or go against the forum etiquette. I generally go the extra mile (which other members can confirm) and if it wasn't for my poor health I would have delivered the RAM same day without any charge.

Therefore, to attempt to put things right, I am more than happy to offer you both a Windows 10 Pro and Microsoft Office 2019 license key at on charge as a gesture of goodwill. Alternatively, I do have other 4GB RAM modules, I can get 2 x 4GB delivered to you, again at no charge. Unfortunately I don't have anymore 8GB modules at present.

@Gnarls

Ryan, I sincerely apologize and hope you take me up on the offer above.

@Toxxyc

If I have acted unfairly or against the rules, kindly advise as to what action is required in order to put things right.

Again I do apologize, I accept full responsibility and in no way wish to make excuses.

Apology wholly and sincerely accepted. I've been burnt like this before and I believe it is evident that this was a misunderstanding. No need to worry about anything else. A misunderstanding shouldn't put you out of pocket.

Mods, please consider this issue resolved.
