Subject: RE: Buyers Warning! (fwd)

I really hate to hear when this happens.  As a frequent trader on the
internet, I feel betrayed when some other seller stiffs his customer.  I
go an extra two miles to prove my integrety in any deal.  Although, I
have also lost money to some unscroupulous traders.  Sorry about the bad
deal.
