                        Thanks, Chris!
                        I figured the rascal must be pretty nasty to have elicited such a harsh reaction!
                        I'll certainly avoid him!

                        Well Ill put it this way DONT DEAL WITH THIS GUY! His problem is more than just high prices....its receiving money without ever sending the kits promised. What absolutely amazes me is that the people who have been ripped by him in the past never filed mail fraud charges. Mail fraud is a felony and federal offense at that. In some of my net searching thanks to a few others plus some stuff Ive dug up on my own....I have yet to find a single good thing about this guy!

                        I got his list once. I thought his prices were to high. I have never had any contact with him again. I am glad I didn't with all of this negative feedbacks.
