If you emailed him, and he answered, that would really bother me. I
sent him a question about shipping, before I placed the order, and he
has never answered that mail and 2 more that I sent after I had ordered.

I don't remember how he was going to ship. This was my first try with
EBay so I just went ahead and ordered. There were many that said his
shipping was good so I didn't think twice about it.

Thats why I asked if you had a phome # for him. I saw that you had
ordered from him directly so thought you might have his number. Even
if his prices are better then others I don't like the fact that he
isn't answering my mail.
Thanks for the tip though. I will ask questions 'before' I order or bid
in the future even from people that have a good reputation.
Thanks Dennis
