WHEN HE PICKED UP THE CLOCK, I LET HIM KNOW THAT I DIDN'T WANT TO SPEND A LOT OF MONEY. WE MADE A VERBAL AGREEMENT THAT IT WOULDN'T GO OVER $25. I LEFT THE PAYMENT AND PICKED UP THE CLOCK AT THE ANTIQUE MALL WHERE I GOT HIS NAME ORIGINALLY. IT DID NOT WORK CORRECTLY. HE TOLD ME TO CHANGE THE HANDS AND THEN IT WOULD WORK PROPERLY. AFTER DOING THAT, IT STILL WAS NOT WORKING AND WAS DOING THE SAME THING. I LEFT A MESSAGE. I HAD CALLED THE ANTIQUE MALL TO NOT GIVE HIM THE CHECK, BECAUSE IT WAS NOT WORKING. I TALKED WITH HIS WIFE AND SHE SAID THEY DIDN'T RECEIVE PAYMENT. I SAID I WOULD PAY WHEN IT WAS FIXED. I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM HIM SINCE. THE OTHER ISSUE IS THAT I HAVE ANOTHER CLOCK HE LOOKED AT. HE SAID IT WAS WORTH ABOUT $185. HE SAID HE COULD CLEAN IT FOR $100. I SAID IT WASN'T WORTH THAT TO ME. HE THEN SAID HE WOULD BUY IT FOR $25. IT SEEMED TO ME THAT HE WASN'T BEING HONEST.
