I have warned the list about a guy in Ontario who goes by the name Dave
Elsmere and on e-bay by brwheels. His actions are very much like this fellow
you are all describing. I wonder if he has changed his e-bay name. I note
that he says he is from down south and I wouldn't put it past this Canadian
fellow to change his name and place of residence for e-bay purposes.
When asked a question about something he has for sale; in reply you get
berated for asking and told that anything you have is junk. Boy this sounds
very fishy. Has anyone ever met this guy? I have met the Canadian and his
real name is Steve Choquette. I don't trust him based on some attempted
dealings that I've had with him and his responses to my questions.
Buyer beware especially if forewarned.
