You know Jack, he's not the only guy out here with a massive collection of
toys ;)

I deal in cash *and* swap and proceeds from my toys go to fund a place where
people can come and learn about Tesla Coils hands-on (the only such place in
the world that I know of).

Next time you're in the market for trash and trinkets, let me know. I've a
long standing reputation here for helping coilers out and delivering quality
goods on time and on budget. Ask around, there's a reason they still call
them "Geek Group" capacitors even though I haven't carried them in years
(though that will change soon). I have a 14,000 square foot warehouse packed
to the rafters with lots of things that make coilers get all nubly.

Hey guys,

THANKS for all the support! and yes, in the World of Jack King - $900
is a significant sum right now.

Speculation can be unhealthy, and I certainly don't want to flap
everyone's trust in other TESLAPHILES - most all are good, honest
folk (and incredibly intelligent)...SO - don't loos trust in mankind
- and don't let this stop you from buying goods from reputable
individuals and companies.

I am reticent to name a name. This manner was suggested to me by my
Attorney as a "last ditch" effort before serving papers and
litigation - basically a smoking out of the beehive to see if the
honest will be honest. I am waiting thru the week, and if I have no
satisfaction (eg - a cashiers check) then I will move forward with this
matter.

I know the individual feels shamed - and I will say it's amazing that
he actually responded to my email after having read this thread -
It's most unfortunate that this is the level it took to get a
response from him - and the response had nothing remotely close to
the promise of a payment - just more useless tripe.

So, we'll see what ensues this week....and I know trouble can and
does find each and every one of us. IN the past, when I have a stack
of bills to pay and a .3 sized stack of funds to pay them with, I
liquidate some of my treasures - and I wish I could keep em all - but
in a capitalist society - one needs cash....perhaps this person would
be wise to lean out his MASSIVE collection of toys and settle some debts.

Respectfully,

Jack King  801-604-5136
