[QUOTE="aplusmnt, post: 454394, member: 1399"] Well I bought him. I think he will grow out of the neck and it really was not as bad looking in person. He was cut a little late. But buying him was not a pleasant event. Turns out my posting his picture on here, got me a private message. I told this board member all about the sale, gave them directions and even called them on Cellphone to make sure they found the place. What did they do? They bid against me on the steer. I told them I was going to go with him and in the end it was a two way bid between me and them. Posting the picture on here and then helping a board member make it to the sale, cost me around $600-$800 dollars depending exactly when a third bidder got out early. I know this was a public sale, but in my books a little integrity would have kept a person from bidding on the steer of the person that hooked them up with the sale. When the sent me a PM asking if there was ANYMORE I felt that implied they would not come down and try to backdoor me. I gave more for the steer than I would have normally especially considering there was another 35 steers to of similiar quality going for half the price. But it would have took at least $5,000.00 before I would have let them have the steer. They had no chance of getting him, all they did was cost me money. I have been burned one to many times. I am tired of trying to figure out who are the quality people and who are the worthless ones. Sad thing is their kid got a bad lesson in integrity today from his own parents. Sorry for the rant. Just burns me to help people and then get stabbed in the back. [/QUOTE]
