Well, this happened a couple of months before this entire episode on group buy (CD 6003) had started ...
I was not prepared to buy a CDp on that Mumbai visit ... and had to pick up 40 odd LPs which I had bought from Denom. So, landed up at his place in Navi Mumbai. Enquired about the CDps available in Mumbai markets, since had in mind to procure one for quite some time. Denom had suggested me of a place .... bet, it would be the same guy who would be supplying for the Group-buy.
Did not have the cash .... did not have the idea that a credit card payment shan't do here .... did not remember the Tpin of the credit card (as I never used it for drawing money ever) .... never had executed an electronic money transfer before (am ancient !) .... that left me standing in front of a stone wall ... somehow trying to console myself of a 'next time'.
The DEMON (Denom) calls up just at that juncture, when I was walking back to take a cab to my hotel .... dejected. He urges me to accept that he makes a transfer to the seller (3/4ths of the amount) .... the balance cash, I had it on me. So, it became possible for me to carry back (a heavy @ 8 kg) spanking new black coloured CD player all the way to Delhi.
When I sit back and think of the episode, I don't think I could have parted with such an amount .... that too with a person who I had met only once, stayed in a different city and didn't know the person from anywhere other than the PMs exchanged over this Forum.
Don't think I need say anymore about THAT person ........ :clapping:
