hey, new here eh

Hey, my name is Jon and I f'd up
so funny story, I don't drive a tacoma, never owned one
I had planned on buying one because I do like them
so I went out to go check one out used off Kijiji
I loved it and decided I was going for it. I negotiate a good price.
So i put a deposit down and was coming back the next day with a ride.
Went home and naturally started looking up parts to buy to make it my own.
I had planned on a lift kit and fender flares with some big rims.
Well, i find some rims that were at a good deal so i buy them up.
I go back the next day to pick up the truck...........
Where TF is my truck........
So the guy sold the truck out from under me because he got more money from someone else that night. I did get my deposit back and although that made me feel decent I was still very pissed that I now have a set of rims for a truck I don't own.

SO
Sorry to spam here guys and I know this isn't a buy/sell section but if anyone has some suggestions for me on how best to sell these things, I'm all ears.
Also, I have learned to not count my chickens before they hatch, thanks to Kijiji.
Also x2 I have heard enough shit from my wife for doing this, I get it, I'm an ass.

Thanks!
