BAD seller on ebay, rips me off for Weird Tapes #3 & #6

[William Duffy]

Me again.

Adding to what I said earlier, I would also avoid this person at all costs,
as I feel that in many cases he is ripping ppl off, by claiming he is not
responsible for non-insured items (in other words, he's probably keeping
some of it!).

As you are in the same country as him, & not overseas, I'm not so sure about
whether he's posted it or not.

William
