[time-nuts] Recommendations for a newbie?

[Said Jackson]

Charles,

Because you make and post negative assumptions about a seller without any first hand experience based on your opinion on what you consider a sub-par EBay listing by a non-English seller.

This is close to calling the seller a fraud in my opinion.

This seller gave me a most positive EBay purchase, with a unit that basically looked factory new and one could tell they spent a lot of time putting this package together.

It is unfair to post that kind of negative opinion without you having any first hand experience with them.

I wish most stateside sellers would be half as good as this seller, and consider him an asset to folks like us. I remember what it was like before we had EBay and could buy from these kind of sources, and hope we never have to go back to those dark days.

Bye,
Said

I just said that the descriptions I've seen do not appear to me to explain the great price differences and that there appear to be many different variants, so getting exactly what someone else got may not be easy or straightforward.  Prospective buyers can judge for themselves.
