Fw: [Boatanchors] BUYER BEWARE XE2NBG, LUIS

[David]

In the interest of fairness to Luis, I too bought a radio from him last 
week.
With any purchase, I was willing to take a risk and fully understood that 
international transactions were not guaranteed.
I was even more wary since there was little online traceability with respect 
to Mr. Garza Sepulveda's license, activities, or recent internet selling. 
I understood that the radio was coming from Mexico and the Mr. Garza 
Sepulveda fully communicated the Fedex charges to me in advance.  As a 
matter of fact, upon receipt of my remittance, he *immediately* shipped the 
unit to me in absolutely record time.  The shipping packaging was less than 
optimal, but I am completely satisfied with my transaction and regret that 
there may have been others who had lesser satisfaction.
