I had a deal for those on 1/2 and have been waiting for days for his address to send him some cash for them. I was told this evening he sent them to you instead. I'm not sure how I feel about this deal going south since I arranged this before you got back to him on 1/4 but wish you the best in your recordings anyway.
pm sent
mr MBHOTAPER
i posted a "pm sent" to the thread in conjunction with a pm i sent to soling. the message i sent to soling was in respone to the communication on board and between he and i regarding mounting solutions for mbho active cables. in the message i explained how my buddy jason and i went to home depot in denver for drill bits so we could bore out the existing grooves / holes in my Schoeps ORTF bar in order to accomodate the mbho's. though the right side turned out great, the left side was snapped in half by the torque of the drill.
i dont know what you are trying to suggest or imply. however, i was in no way trying to backdoor your purchase / acquisition of the clips. seriously dude, how was i even supposed to know that you had an arrangement / agreement with soling to acquire the clips. i have done my research and see nothing that would indicate or hint to the purchase agreement between you and soling. i did see where you lost yours and were ISO a replacement pair.
last but not least, and in closing...

[120] "Dibs" and Gear Selling / Buying
Thanks to JackoRoses for the suggestion to make this a sticky.
TSers post gear for sale all the time. Every so often, a fellow TSer posts to the FS (for sale) thread indicating s/he wants the gear, and may or may not also PM the seller at the same time. Effectively, the fellow TSer is declaring "dibs" on an item for sale. Sometimes, the seller sells the gear to someone other than the TSer who has publicly (and possibly privately) declared "dibs". And occasionally this creates confusion amongst the interested buyers, especially the fellow TSer who has declared "dibs".
Please note:
•there is no TS requirement that sellers honor "dibs", i.e. first-come/first-served
•declaring "dibs" (usually with a "PM sent" post) is meaningless, unless the seller decides to honor first-come/first-served;
•someone still may beat the "dibs" TSer to the punch and just not post about it publicly
•sellers always retain the prerogative to sell to whomever they wish...even if someone already has declared "dibs"
Though many people TS sellers subscribe to the "first-come, first-served" model, sellers have the prerogative to sell to whomever they wish - just as buyers may purchase from whomever they wish - and neither scenario should incur hard feelings on either side.

hope this helps...and i also wish you the very best in your recordigs.
