I tried to buy some used hardline from NL7AX. After I paid
him, he claimed the site where the hardline was stored had
been pilfered. As soon as I heard that, my "huckster alarm"
started blaring and I started saying my goodbyes to my
$200, but in the end after a little prodding, he refunded
my money in full. That of course is small potatoes compared
to buying an F/A-18 Hornet :):)
