I am a Big Brother to a boy nearby. Have been for almost 5 years now. He is into the Yu Gi Oh game Dungeon Dice Monsters. I finally found a place that sells the booster packs for the game in English and ordered the ones they had for him. I got an email this morning telling me "We only have one left in stock of the one item so we have canceled your order." I called and spoke to the people and yes, they only have one pack left of the three items I ordered and since it was his last one yes, he cancelled my whole order. I asked why I couldn't have the last one, his response "Because I will have none left if I sell it to you." I made mention of the fact that he 'had none of the other two items so it must be ok to sell the last one.' He stammered a bit and then said 'Ok, I see your point. But I still am not selling it to you.'

I don't get it...

He's a collector I bet! He's holding it for himself! Why that stingy little... ;)

From dictionary.com, entered word: canceled:
can·cel Audio pronunciation of "canceled" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (knsl)
v. can·celed, also can·celled can·cel·ing, can·cel·ling can·cels, can·cels

Thanks for the correction!

cancel[1,verb]cancel[2,noun]

Main Entry: 1can·cel
Pronunciation: 'kan(t)-s&l
Function: verb
Inflected Form(s): -celed or -celled; -cel·ing or can·cel·ling

Both are acceptable....ahh good...we agree on that and that you type faster.

Have you thought of reporting him to the Better Business Bureau? Or threatening to? If an item is offered for sale and is in stock, I believe it's false advertising if they refuse to sell it so they can still advertise it as available for sale?

Nope, if you speak and spell English correctly!

One time someone tried messing with me on some work they did to my previous vehicle...i told him I had an uncle in the BBB and he basically told me to call him. So I did (well I didn't have an uncle in it, but I called them anyway)...and four days later, the guy called me back, got me a rental car, and fixed the problem :D

The BBB really does get stuff done.

Hmm....this presents real possibilities. Maybe not in this case, but I can think of others.
