RE: Interesting sale to a someone on HD forms
Sorry to hear you had troubles. For what it's worth, I took an M1 Garand (Rifle) to a local Mail Boxes Etc. about 4 years ago to ship to a guy in Minnesota.Believe it or not they actually had the nerve to tell me it would be$155 to ship that silly thing. Needless to say I walked out,package still in hand.
Well I took the exact same box to UPS and it ended up being about $30 insured for$650. Word of wisdon, NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER ship through anagent of UPS/FEDEX/USPS or whomever cuz theywill get every single dollar you came in with.
Hope it all works out in the end.

He did say thanks, when he sent you the money for the pipes.
What more do you want?
A reach-a-round?

sonar_chris, are you sure you didn't get a PM back? We all know your eyesight is quite a bit off after comparing Michele Smith to Michael Jackson in looks!

Now THIS I find interesting! You shipped a long rifle (well rifle) for $30 insured for $650?? How did you (legally) manage that? Even rifles need to be shipped overnight......

In the end a few more bucks for shipping would have been cool but understandable if he didn't want to send any more money because of our agreement, but at least a thanks for shipping them out and not stiffing the guy would have been nice. Ok off rant now, have a good day.
