"I Don't Trust You Phyllis!"

Yesterday I posted this very long, detailed story about how Isaac and I lost 300 dollars buying a non-functioning washer and dryer from a man named Skip. I was feeling upset about the whole situation and writing it all out was somewhat therapeutic. However, we received in the mailbox this morning a $300 check from Skip as promised, and I began to feel a little bad about how I had portrayed this man in my story and decided to the delete the post. I may have been too quick to judge.

The short version of the story is this: We bought a used, guaranteed washer and dryer set for 300 dollars. When we set them up (after a lot of work getting them up the stairs), we found they didn't work.The seller, Skip, was difficult to get in contact with and told us if we got them to his shop, his mechanics would fix them as they did have a 90 day guarantee. We instead asked for a refund. Skip was upset, but finally obliged. He came and picked them up in his trailer, but told us that we would get a refund when he sold another set as he didn't have the money to pay us back right then. He told us that it would likely take 1-2 weeks, and that we could trust him. We tried to argue, but in the end agreed. We tried calling him during those 2 weeks, but weren't able to really reach him. After 2 1/2 weeks, we received a check in the mail from Skip for $300. We hope it doesn't bounce.
