Was I just about used?? Glad I did have the money. They need to understand it is not cheap.K
Looks like you were about to be left holding and empty bag, (money bag)that is. Don't think he really had intentions of paying you for the work and finished product you were about to do. He wanted to give a free gift to grandparents.
