[SEL] ot ebay

[Richard Strobel]

I agree Lew..In 250+ buying transactions, I've only had one small problem 
and we worked it out quick.  Mostly items that go with the old engines.  I 
purchased hand hole gaskets for our boiler a while back using PP.  I really 
like it...and as you say...over and done with.

  Regarding the OT ebay....I've heard they will never send you an 
email...scam comes to mind and I just delete them when they show up.  If 
ebay wants to communicate with you..you will get a message alert on your 
ebay summary.

"Happy user here in The Big Sky.
