I have done a couple of evilBay deals with these folks, one of
which was the purchase of the best black XLRF I have ever seen.
The price was high and the guy was sort of a horses's patoot, but
I was so happy with the camera I didn't care. But I didn't know
he was the sort who thinks the world ends at the Rio Grande and
the Great Lakes. Business must be good.
