Mike worked with me on method of payment, which I very much appreciated, and which resulted in his receiving payment, sent by me via US Mail, a couple of days later than we both expected, everything worked out in the end. He packaged my purchase solidly and shipped it promptly. It arrived in fine condition, as described in his member classified ad, and my cursory view of the item showed no improprieties. I would not hesitate buying from him in the future. ~ deerflyguy
