I have to agree with susan as one Neg in a host of Excellents or AAAAAA+++++. well, It does define what the NEG poster is all about.


My experience wasn't with an e-bay buyer but a friend of a friend of a friend carver. H didn't want to drive 30 miles to pick up the basswood and didn't want our friends to pick it up and take to him. So, it was the post office which usually charges more. Even with the receipt, a complaint. Oh well, Ya can't please everyone. "Cost of item is subject to change according to the attitude of the customer."

Mryooper, lots of comments and opinions given about eBay buying and selling, so here's mine.Smile.
(I) I won't bid on items that have the bidders ID kept hidden.
(2) Not much use saying "sell international etc." and provide a postage calculator that only allows US mail Zip codes, even though it has an option to change country which in turn will only provide "United States". Smile.
Just my 2 cents worth.

Cheers.

OG

Mryooper, There is always that one dissatisfied customer or like yours, Who posted a "good and bad recommend Just for fun".
I know Of one e-bay seller friend who bent over backwards and finially refunded the person's money and told him that he did not have to ship the product back.Still the customer was not satisfied. I think the customer got what he wanted and was not honest enough to accept it.

Anyway, Hang in there buddy, not all customers are that way.

Im here to tell everyone. WOW!!!!! I just recieved a huge piece of basswood from Mryooper. Darn near 70 pounds 5' high 18" wide and just over 3" thick. I have not seen basswood this nice around the Maryland area in 4 or 5 years. I was going to cut this piece up for santa blanks and two walking sticks But as soon as I cut the cardboard off of it I could see a 5 foot high relief old world santa in there. I have no complaints and think the shipping and handeling for this piece of wood is more than fair. Now I need to order another piece for my original purpose.

Thank You Mr Mryooper,
Harold And Anna Goodman

Thanks for the complement! Where I get my wood, they have some of the largest logs you have ever seen. A vistor from a company about passed out from the sizes we had there. It is said we are 10 yrs behind other states on logging. All the wood is from the U.P of Michigan or northeasten Wi.
