Me-thinks that email and calls unanswered from a "business" for a month
and a half, more than qualifies as "making sure". I've both sold and
bought over this list. I've only bought from those I've known through
exchanging notes long-term on the list and I didn't worry in the least
and I don't think they worried about me (thanks Steve and Carl). I'd
like to be able to continue as interesting items crop up. We most
certainly need to know if someone is betraying trust, employing
delaying tactics or is simply dishonest, or the whole group becomes
suspect (kinda like society these days). From what I read, you acted in
good faith and gave the louse a chance by following up with him. This
person is responsible for their behavior, the very least of which is
ignoring your pleas for info on the payment and the greatest thievery
and mail fraud (I might be pushing it there). You've represented it
fairly, so their is no harm in telling the world. I say flog away!

[Gee, a month and a half?? Just ask folks who've dealt with the Fat Chance
Garage
about slow customer service! Maybe if I weren't spending so much time with
Team.Net stuff I could work on getting my business into gear. Actually, more
on
that later this spring. And I promise to get the last two outstanding lug nut
orders shipped off this week! mjb. ]
