Gee..... he has about 11 listings on eBay (http://snurl.com/2fm8) right
now........ maybe we should all send him an email or two asking questions
and compare responses ;-) ... just kidding folks but it does make you wonder
how he keeps a decent feedback rating. My guess is most people don't bid
after receiving his email responses so they never purchase and most eBay
ratings are based on the purchase experience.
