Ahhhhhh.....a reminder of stickergate!

It's amazing the trust we give people over the internet, isn't it?

Glad it worked out.

Well, I'd like to report that after nearly 6 weeks from winning the auction
I received my package at last!

There was a lot of headache involved, and mostly because of me being unsure
of this guy's true intent.

 I am too busy right now to put this thing in anyway, but having to keep
track of potential fraud is annoying.

Anyways, I'm happy that it finally came but don't know what to make of it.
In retrospect, I will check all feedback not just a brief glimpse and will
just be more cautious.

The guy's behavior wreaked of FRAUDULENCE yet he has sold a lot of
legitimate stuff and had 5 or 6 positive feedback replies since my auction
ended. When I simply asked for a tracking # before this wednesday he went
out of his way and sent it to me priority mail (even after asking me for an
extra $40 to do so).

Plain weird. Buyer beware ^ 3!

FG
