Just checked ebay & my email, still don't have the second reply you refer to, including checking the spam filter.
Anyhoo, it was ebay item# (and later, complaint#) 320054294409 for a swingarm I never got. I did recieve a wheel & axle I had purchased in auctions a week later. Those would be two items you (Chi-Town) refused to answer 2 emails asking about combined shipping on. Gave up & paid separate S&H, BTW.
Emailed after getting the wheel & axle but still not the swingarm purchased a week earlier, no replies. As mentioned way later in email #3 in the complaint procedure, I recieved NO answers until I filed the complaint with ebay & then I got an answer in less than 8 hrs. saying the item had been listed twice by accident and already shipped to the "first" buyer, and that Chi-Town would send me a refund check. My bank said the bank MO I sent (#14257 for $33.69 of 12/11/06 from Southport Bank, Kenosha, WI) had already been cashed. Yup, as noted in an email a long time ago, I'm less than an hour from your door so nothing I ever said was hiding behind a keyboard-I'm in the phone book and you had my address from other items sent. I count 9 separate correspondances ending 2/2/07, with that last one regarding "mutual withdrawl" of the negatives, but never a refund check. If I ever snipped off a log while working on this I can probably go back and find records on it's length & weight if it comes to that
Hope these details put ya at ease and explain my attitude before you get one going. I'm the one that got dicked, not you, & it wasn't a single oopsie or dog musta ate the paperwork. It was a deliberate "fuck you-watcha gonna do about it?" that cost both of us more effort than the dollar amount should have justified. That said, I appreciate your responding here and offering to make it right. That's all I ever requested, on any level. Hopefully it was your departed partner that caused my grief. I propose we let it go & move on now. I can assure you I've caused you to lose sales for many, many times what I lost so the money hasn't been an issue for a looooooong time. It's been the fact that I was cheated & never got anything remote resembling an apology or attempt to make it whole. No need to send a check since I had the monetary satisfaction ages ago, but I DO appreciate what I belive to be a sincere offer on your part. What say we start over now?
My best,
