John Staples ?

[K-Nole]

If people were to read ALL the pm's, they would see the truth.

Here is the truth..

I had like 4-5 good transactions with John.
Then I simply asked if he had a Gale Sayers (I think it was a Gale Sayers, but not sure). He said he did. I ended not buying it from him because it was too much $$. I didn't think it would be that big of a deal to simply ASK if he had it. I never said I would buy it, I never asked to hold it, I simply asked if he had one for sale.

About 2 months later we are putting together another set, and again I gave him our want list. A few days later, he reply back that he has some of the cards. That is when I told him that I had gone to a show and bought most of the ones he had, so I kindly told him I didn't need them. I never told him I would buy them, I never told him to hold them, I simply gave him my want list.

THAT is when I get a message from him that him that he had deleted me from the Facebook group.
That is also when he told everybody on the page (and everybody here now), that I "STIFFED" him.
Quetion.. How could I have "stiffed" him when I never received the card/s, and he never sent the cards, and I never told h I would take the cards???

When the word "stiffed" makes it sound like he sent the cards, I received the cards, yet I never paid for the cards????

THaT is what made me so upset. Because when he told others in the hobby that I "stiffed" him, it was slanderous and not true.

There are MANY MANY posts on this board, where we post our want lists. And to those posts, Many people respond back with what cards they have on that list.
If the person does not take the cards that were told to him that they have, has he "stiffed" every single person that replied??

Ams as far as the Meridith goes!!! I DID send it back to him!!! He states he never received it, which I can not speak to why, but after the PM where I told him it was 75 cent card, I DID send it back to him.

I have made many new friends on this board in the year or two since I came here. I hope that this one person, after not telling the entire story, and calling me a thief, will not harm my status with this great group of people.
This group is what our hobby is all about. I hope to see all of you in Rosemont, and on Friday night as well.
