Three things:

1. The ad you cited says "Private seller" but dollars to donuts this
seller is a broker or a quick-flip artist. Look at his phone numbers.
How many individuals have TWO phone numbers that end in 000? Looking up
the tail number in the FAA database, his ownership certificate was
issued in January of this year. Plus the salesmanship patter in his
note. DON'T BUY JUNK! blah blah blah

2. That said, I'm starting to agree with others who say your attitude is
part of the problem. My first memory of you on the aviation newsgroups
was you fuming and threatening to sue your FBO because of availability
problems. You had a legitimate gripe but over the months you sure seem
to be having a lot of gripes and not much else to say. Each individual
one seems reasonable but the cumulative effect is making me wonder --
Are you really that unlucky? Now in this purchase quest you seem to be
looking for a quick cash bargain and then you are *shocked* that you are
not being offered creampuffs. Hey man, you offer cash for a quick sale
and expect to pay less than average, you're not going to hook up with
the class sellers with the creampuff airplanes. You've been advised
several times that it takes patience and perseverance to buy an
airplane, take that to heart.

3. Lastly, no matter how annoying these people are to you, pointing them
up personally for riducule on the newsgroup is simply uncool. At least
twice now you have posted people's private correspondences to you, which
is a major breach of internet ettiquite. It doesn't speak well for your
attitude or the respect with which you do (or do not) treat the people
you deal with.

The nerve of this guy telling me I have a lot to learn, Looks like this guy
needs to learn how to read. This is the second time I have told this guy no
it seems like he forgets things or need to go learn the meaning of NO. First
he wanted to trade me for my Car I told him no a few months ago. I have
looked at airplanes with way better engine times for a lot less looks like
he is trying to recover his GPS costs and myself I don't care if I have a
GPS that's why we learned how to plot a course and navigate.

Good luck finding your "pie in the sky"... you must be very new to this
airplane business. Add to your wealth of knowledge that 1800 TBO is just
a recommendation... and when you buy that plane with old radios...
remember to bring your wallet with you. You have a lot to learn and it
looks like you will learn the hard way like most newbies...
