I can honestly say, I think this serves as a good lesson to you, David. It's
about time someone gets back at you for all the crap you say about other
people on here. If you are thinkina about seeking legal advice with this
purchase though, it only stands to reason that the parts you did buy were a
large quantity, in which case, I can feel for you. This person does seem
like one I have dealt with before. In that instance, it took the seller more
than two months to get me the merchandise, though he certainly cashed the
money order quickly enough. I hope this gets straightened out for you.
