cool, now you have solved your little problem with the 500 hard drive/powersupply, there is one included, but then again, I think you knew that.

that guy had closed the auction 2 hours after it was posted on may 7, then he took till the 13th of may to pay, then I made the mistake of mis calculating the shipping, I charged him $70.00 when the shipping came to $145.00 (just goes to show you cant do everything by computer) after I spent an additional 75.00 to ship it he said the the monitors came broken, and that he can not leave me positive feedback untill I re-emburse him for the monitors. the title of the auction was for the Amiga 4000D video toaster, I added the monitors in the auction as a throw in, anyway, the system and the monitors was packaged by a professional packing company and shipped via UPS to canada from NYC, USA, but yet I should have to feel responsable for the damage to the monitors, dont worry, I made sure your system got packaged and was on the truck safly,

I just told you that little bit becuase I want you to watch out, it seems like he is demanding monitary damages in return for good feedback.

I checked with ebay, they say I am not at fault, and that I had the option to report him, but the feedback is not all that much important to me (I dont scare easy, nor am I a dumb-ass).

ok ok getting the shipping cost was pretty dumb I admit it, but hay it as the first time I had used the online shipping calculator, will never use it again, nor will I ever ship international again!!
