Man, by judging your old eBay account (found by searching under your PayPal address) you should just give up on eBay....heh

edit:
Actually, I thought I would be nice but on your old seller account you had people negging you everywhere about your slow shipping. Maybe this is happening with this guy. What were some of your excuses for taking forever to ship?

I know this isn't the nicest reply, but you should have some idea of how this works from your previous eBay incidents.

Don't know what to suggest, but..

I'm curious - why would someone risk $84 to buy something from a stranger when you can purchase the same thing from a reputable dealer for the same price?

Thinking the same. I bought a 1.4 at a computer show 2 weeks ago for about 110 after tax.

sorry, don't have any real suggestions besides seeing what egay says on their website...

IMHO, I wouldn't have bought something from someone w/ so many negatives.

most of his negatives came after this deal. The guy decided to turn ripoff artist in the last month.

It looks like all the negatives came from around the time of the WTC/Pentagon events. Maybe because of shipping difficulties?

But then again, one person was charged $10 for shipping a stick of ram in an envelope with a .50 cent stamp on it.
