Having read the email thread, it looks like retrogeek was baited with a few you Suck, so his comments back should be taken in the same light.
This guy opporates a store front. A business will always buy items for about half their street value. Otherwise, how else will they make their money.
I must admit, he has good marketing write ups. Nothing wrong with that.
two to eight weeks is a long time, but if it was specified, then why did the buyer not ask about it. When I want something, I always ask for shipping price and time and sometimes pay more for faster shipping. I have also bartered the shipping rate before
I am curious. For those that have bought from him, has the item ever had trouble?
Just my two cents,
