    Takes Bizz's info and PM a MOD or VET. If it was confirmed by one on them then PM the same person.

    You are right! I am trying to be patient. But when my source goes days without responding to me with an update I get worried.

    You track him down and take his little toe. Nothing too drastic, just something to remember you by. lol

    Depends on who you know in the hobby... I was scammed for $350 once.. i contacted some people.. got a full refund and the gear i ordered free. No matter how stupid these people are they dont want to lose buisness so if you can make them lose 20-30k a quarter in sales they are going to take care of that $350 problem. A few boards have scammer lists. The reputible scammer lists are updated and it is one place these suppliers do NOT want to be.

    I will look into that. If I have been scammed I will burn money to get it taken care of.
