[MRCA] Seacoast confirms his arrogance - AGAIN

[Paintball Plus]

I was going to refrain from posting the information regarding the above 
military surplus seller at the suggestion of some other members of this 
forum, who's knowledge and advise I have grown to trust and respect. 
However, the other party involved has attempted to discredit me with 
e-bay, a resource that I often use as an instrument with which I am able 
to obtain items for my hobby, the restoration of my M35.  I now consider 
my sharing of this incident a service to my fellow hobbyists.

After having the winning bid for some NOS window channels for my M35, I 
went to pay the seller. It was at that time that I first noticed the 
seller was Seacoast Supply, I name I have seen negatively mentioned 
quite often recently on the forum. I contacted the seller and expressed 
my concerns with sending money to someone who has been accused multiple 
times of not sending items that have been paid for. Here is what I sent 
to Charlie at Seacoast Supply:

Charlie,
"I received your auto response from my e-bay purchase. However, I will 
not send any payment until I hear from you directly regarding my 
concerns about your failure to ship to many, many people. I have enough 
children to support and do not intend to adopt another. I will wait for 
your response regarding this matter before I send you payment. Upon your 
satisfactory explanation I will send payment immediately. A copy of this 
e-mail, along with my original e-mail and those on the mil-veh list will 
be made available to e-bay if there is any question made in regard to my 
sincerity."

His response was as follows:
"Ask questions before you bid. if you pay you get your item if your not 
a pain in the ass, simple enough."

I then replied that, "That was NOT simple enough, and I would not be 
sending him any money - that a buyer has the right to their item once it 
is paid for, regardless of the status of Charlie's rectal nerve endings!"

It was at that time that my decision was made to drop the matter. That 
decision stood until I got an e-mail from e-bay stating that Charlie 
reported me as a non-paying bidder, which could result in my bidding 
privileges being suspended.  That was about an hour ago, at which time I 
decided that anyone who feels he can take money under false pretenses 
needs to be exposed.

We all rely upon a network of surplus dealers, who attempt to be honest 
and fair in their transactions. Fortunately, dealers with an attitude 
like that expressed by Seacoast Surplus are few and far between.
