DEC Flip Chip book

Hi All, I realize that this is NOT the proper venue for pursuing this, and I apologize to the list before hand, however as this has to do with a persons credibility, and doing business with people on this list, it is definitely on-topic. Last March I had a fairly large lot of IBM XT and AT parts from some 5150's and clones picked up at an auction. I had no use for them but looked for a good home for them. Several of the items were somewhat rare and maybe even semi-valuable, as I received quite a few responses from people on the list that were looking for these same parts! I decided to cut down the hassle factor by giving away the stuff to the person who would take the whole kit and caboodle! There only cost would be re-reimbursing me for the UPS shipping cost, approximately $30.00. The person who agreed to this, received the shipment, and then complained to me about the rough handling by UPS, then totally reneged on the shipping costs, despite several polite reminders. I decided not to pursue this as it is not worth my time and effort. I have given away for free, various items using this list and off-list. About 98 percent of the people I have dealt with have no problem sending me the money promptly after I have paid the shipping upfront. Unfortunately this person IS NOT one of them. Just a word of caution. Credibility on this list is, IMHO, worth more than any Ebay sales effort. Respectfully, Tom ++++++++++++++++++++ Paxton Hoag wrote:
