Before we mount a full-scale Salem Witch hunt... allow me to say that I have had many pleasant dealings with my friends on this list, and other lists... the percentage of deals gone sour has been very low. Andrew Carnegie said: "It is better to be occasionally cheated, than forever suspicious.." And I can confess that there a few Nice People here on Classicmp to whom I have promised to send various items; the promise still exists but I have flaked out so far. Sorry Eric, Dave, Megan, Ian, .... :] (In my defense: absolutely *no money* is involved in these deals, most I am even shipping myself. And packing. And lugging..) If I have sent you money, and you cannot complete your end of it for some reason... send me the money back. Or tell me *when* you can complete the deal. Or offer me something else I might want. Or at least **tell** me that the item(s) and my money are no longer available, and why that is so. Shit happens....at least give me the true info and let me see what I can do. But disappearing with someone else's funds is.. theft. That's all. Confess your sins! Con-feesss you sins!! con-fesss your siiiins!!! Or we shall torture you wiiiithhhh... The COMFY CHAIR!!!!!
