    Sat morn on Craigslist I saw a Viking Mega Quilter with cruise control & an Inspira Frame...$500 for the whole thing. I spoke with the woman & made an appointment to go see it & try it out this Wed. I could not make it Sat & she was busy Sun & Mon. No mention was ever made first come first serve. But she sent me an email stating this morning stating she sold it. I am just sick.

    So Sorry - People just do not stand up to their word.
    She should have told you.

    Oh that is too bad. I am sorry. Maybe you weren't supposed to have that particular one. Another will come along again one day.

    Don't make yourself sick about it. I have found that things always seem to work out for the best. Good deals are out there, and being patient pays off.

    Sorry you missed out, but from her stand point, she couldn't be sure YOU would actually show up. If someone came with money in hand she would be foolish to miss a sure sale.
