I know CHRIS at Kustom Emporium PERSONALLY. I've known him for about 6 years since he was the parts guy at the local Indian shop. I was just in his shop on Saturday and between my father and I ....we have easily dropped $2000 with him since January 1. Chris is a GREAT GUY and cuts some CRAZY DEALS if you can show up at his shop with CASH IN HAND! While Spending the 2G's with him....we've probably saved another 500-700 over what the stuff would have cost at the average shop! Do not hesitate to deal with them......THEY ARE GREAT FOLKS!!!!

Pay Pal needs to cool it charging such high fees, I have noticed a lot of sellers are dropping it. But myself I wont buy from somebody that doesnt take it.

We take paypal selling our log home products, fee's are the cost of doing business. Agree I don't like the fee's, someone else have a better middle man, thats reliable andtrustworthy? I wouldn't buy from a vendor that didn't take paypal or a form of visa/mc. Our business picked up greatly since accepting.

I look hard at feedback also. But doing money order or cashier check is just a PITA. Plus you really dont have much to fall back on just in case something does happen. Pay Pal has help me resolve problems a couple of times.
