Ok, relax, I get your point
I do get your point and I apologize for any offense caused. However, I hope you get my point too, as my riposte had a purpose. I came in here asking a legitimate question and was received by indirect attacks regarding my honesty. Everyone should be careful nowadays, but even in anonymity being interested in an article posted for sale on an open forum should not make me deserving of your insults. I found this article for sale after Googling and joined the forum so that I could post, so therefore I do not have a posting history. I made the comment on the shipping to let the seller know that I did not expect him to ship to El Salvador, which is costly and unreliable. Having said all that, I reiterate my apologies and humbly withdraw from this confrontation.
My dad was scammed out of a nice vintage Nikon by the type of thieves you mention, and we have to be careful that a few rotten @$$holes don't mess up informal trade for the rest of us. Cheers...
Still interested in the skimmer btw, and I will leave shipping issues off the public forum .
Regards,
John
