Why do you have no problem being banned for whelching? it seems extreme to me, and to be honest just plain stupid.
did you not read the rules?
are you so special that the rules don't apply to you?

There's a locked topic at the very top in every single for sale forum on ar15.com

Do not welch on deals

if you say you'll take it, then pay for it. If you don't I'll kick you off. If you manage to get past me and open another account here I'll put your name and address on the web to make sure it doesn't happen again.
how hard is that?
Plus your PM's/emails to the guy don't ring true.
no explanation, no nothing, just a $300 expense means I can't buy your thing that I said I would.
Now, you had an engine blow up and you need a new $5000 engine, that makes sense, but a $300 expense means you can't do it? Sorry, doesn't ring true, you have no explanation, no sorry, can we work something out, no nothing.
It's your own fault.
Most sellers are pretty understanding, but you acted above the rules and that others should instantly understand and then got dinged for it.

As a seller, I'd be unhappy too. I wish we had the rule here. "I'll take it" is very specific on any gun board. It has meaning and it matters.

Their board, their rules. Same as here.

Actions have consequences

Man up and admit your mistake, learn from it and don't do it again.
