I did not involve ebay although I probably should have. I have been buying parts from various folks for a lot of years, including some of the folks who post here and have never had any trouble. And I generally don't expect any problems. It would have been better if Aaron had just made good on my order (i bought three sets because he was willing to make them up for me in 3/8 so I was trying to be fair with his efforts) just based on our conversation but that did not happen. I would have even pitched in for shipping and maybe the cost of the material just to close out the issue but no dice. So the end result is that I just won't buy from him or recommend him to anyone. That seems to be the best avenue for me. To much aggravation otherwise and to be honest, life is entirely too short.
