Oh, BenRickert, get a life.
Thank you sir. Now that I have the tracking info at least I know that there's something coming for the beans I threw in the pot. I'm hopeful that I will receive a working rig. In any case, I appreciate the support from the folks here - and yes, for something that is thousands of dollars, I'll certainly use escrow - but I've bought (and sold) items here without escrow before very successfully and if it isn't life changing amounts, I'd choose to do so again. YMMV.
As far as the hating is concerned, I don't appreciate that especially when the hater has nothing to do with the transaction. Threats are uncalled for in any event.
