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... |

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. |
