I am only an E.F.L. speaker, but unless the English grammar and verbal tenses were radically revised lately, I also understand without any doubt from this sentence that he's asking for pictures to be sent.gramophone-georg wrote:That's what I see, too, and it's really got me baffled...OrthoFan wrote:Talkophone wrote:Grumpy yous missed where he said don't send pictures

Thank you for reaching out to me. Do send me some pictures. I'd like to see the machine. To place a value, it would be benificial to understand what is and is not original. I understand there is no lid.
Is that copied and pasted from his original message? I see DO send me some pictures. (Unless you retyped it and left the n't off.)

Re: What did I do wrong
You started negotiating with someone. At that point it's one-on-one unless you make it clear to the potential buyer that others are interested. You did not do that and you shut the poor guy out by shifting gears and putting it on the Forum.

Re: What did I do wrong
I guess I was wrong. Every time I read that one PM I read it as "Do not send pictures" so I'm the one at fault. And I thank you guys for clearing this up for me.
