OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Collectors Corner Rotary Scott Bonnar 35 My second one.

Thanks to vccomm notifying of an add on gumtree about a Scott Bonnar 35 with catcher.As I wasn't on-line at that point and only new to the iPhone I now have.It took me a couple of days to find the add.So when I rang the seller he told me it had been sold.So I asked 'Sold as in sold and gone or sold as in still there and going to be picked up?' He said 'It's still here.'So that was when I said,'OK I'll double the offer.'He then told me that due to the first person who was going to take so long in picking it up,(about a week).

That the offer was at $50.So I said,'OK then $100 it is.'During that conversion he told me that it was for a friend of Chris's.I suddenly thought oh dear,but at that time he was adamant that the first offer was the one that he was going to take.I said 'OK then that's OK.If you change your mind you now have my number you can ring on.'I then rang Chris (dristo72) and had a talk to him about it.He was happy about it.I also asked him if I could take photos and measurements of the catcher as for the purpose of re-manufacturing a catcher.I thought oh well my lose,but at least I could make a copy of the catcher.However almost a week later with no contact from seller Chris sent me a message saying they were not getting it and he was taking a higher offer.I thought to myself well that's not me I haven't herd a thing.I rang him and had a talk to him.He was understandably upset that the seller had had changed his mind and not gone through with it.That was on a Thursday.

The following Monday I got a phone call asking when I was picking it up.Now I have managed to upset a good friend of mine here in Brisbane (which was the last thing I ever wanted to do).Now at the time of telling the seller I would double the offer I didn't know that Chris was getting it for somebody he knew,who wanted it.You know it has made me feel bad even though when the offer was made I had no idea whom it was who was after it.It's strange as I should be happy but at the same time sad that it upset a good friend.So Chris (dristo72) if and when you read this,Sorry man it was not my intention to do it this way.In-fact if the seller didn't mention your name I would have never even known it was you.I just hope that your not upset with me,I had no idea.

The catcher hinge is broken off.Although it just appears that the rivets have let go.It is held on with a piano hinge.Not sure if that is savable as it is frozen stiff.



The muffler is buggered as someone has tried to re-weld it and just made a huge mess of it.Bugger.

Look the Scott Bonner decal is still there.[Censored].
