Re: E-bay feedback

Josh, I'm sure your a great buyer and I would be more than happy to sell to
you.
But it sounds like your more worried about getting feedback then the item
itself.
believe me, if I had an item you could not get anywhere else. you would bid
on it, plain and simple. even with that statement in my ads. most buyers
have no problem with it, because they get what I promised as promised.

the seller takes the chances, I can't chose who bids on my items. but the
buyer can chose who he buys from. you have the judgment call, not me. Again
lots of idiots out there and I can't stop them from buying from me. I don't
get to pick and chose who I sell to on ebay. Not to mention the biders who
waste my time by not paying and cost me $.


Troy,
