I had been in contact with a company who sell used school machine tools and was in line to purchase a Boxford TCL160 cnc lathe. I sent an email on Firday saying that I wanted the machine and would send payment on Monday. I emailled Monday with payment details and he replied to ok the payment then I got an email saying

Sorry, but someone else had already been in and paid for the machine this morning before I answered your message. Sorry about that, but I have been corresponding with several people about the machine.

EVENTHOUGH I emailled Friday and had sent payment info

Then I got an email

Sorry, but when several customers are asking questions about the same item over a period of time, it’s difficult for us, as not all of us are poised by the computer looking at emails.

Really poor service
