11 days later leave negative feedback and
immediately file a FVF credit to cancel the sale.

Jeez, ever hear of punctuation? The one place where you didn't really need
the
period (when there was nothing more to read) was the only place you put
one.
Sorry, I was too distracted trying to figure out where one sentence
stopped and
another started to make sense of the actual advice.

If he is a NW pilot, he's lucky to find the right airport, let alone find
the punctuation keys...

I flew up to Keene, New Hampshire today.
NH is one of the ONLY states where real fireworks can still be legally
purchased. :-)

Can you define "real" fireworks please? Here in easern Missouri (or Missour
AH for some of you) we have a lot of fireworks tents his time of year.
Firecrackers, rockets, roman candles, aerial displays, and the less violent
sparklers, smoke bombs, fountains and other quiet stuff.

Is there somehing more interesting (excitin' and loud) available in your
neck o' the woods?

Yes, my punctuation could use some work so what!

Let see I have bad punctuation and some one needs to learn geography! Ohh!!!
I have never landed at the wrong airport.

Jay, check out this eBay page on non-paying bidders:

The entire thing is set up so that the middle man (Ebay) can make money
on a transaction.

Now, that's not really so terrible, is it? eBay flourishes because it
provides a service that people want, both the sellers and the buyers,
and they are willing to give up a part of their transaction in
exchange for that service. Willing buyer, willing seller. That's what
capitalism is all about.

I drove down to Afton WY from Jackson one time for a ride in a Husky.
Lonely road! I was especially bemused by the sign in front of a
roadside enterprise: FIREWORKS AND REAL ESTATE.

The "so what" is that you are losing a significant portion of your
audience. I've read some very interesting posts from you but some of
them take so much work to decipher that I give up and move on. If
you're going to take the time to post, and actually want someone to
read it, take the time and effort to make it readable. You clearly
have the capability of doing exactly that. We all make punctuation
and spelling errors. This is not a grammar class, but some level of
readability is warranted. Keep posting but use some of these: .,?""!

If you want return and refund priviledges,
then you have to pay full price through a regular merchant.

Not necessarily true ....at least not in my case anyway. I seldom buy
retail. In fact, with my business contacts I usually buy at the lowest
wholesale levels on most everything......but that's just me.
It is true however, that people not favoring a transaction like that
found on Ebay should be prepared and willing to pay any additional cost
involved to insure return and refund privilege.
It's a matter of perspective and business preference, not a matter of
"if you don't use Ebay...you need to be educated"
There are those in this world who will take a 75 grand risk to buy a
piece of equipment on Ebay. There are also those in this world who are
capable of working a VERY nice deal on the same piece of equipment
through normal channels and at 0 risk. It's all in how you play the
game. :-)
