I see, then I can't help with that and be unhappy with this if this
ever happens. Contact means to get in touch and talk to finish
the deal and method of payment. Email or phone, I prefer email.

I commend that but some far away people wishes not to have phone
given due to LD cost or something nasty but many are reasonable
people. Realize that I always remind seller I pay by MO, not checks
or credit cards.

Interational sales PITA? I see this way less PITA between Canada
and USA border. Especially across the sea or south of that USA I
can agree with that being some more PITA.

BTW, what can I do about that to withdrawal from this deal
gracefully if Mike Ford advises against negative feedback? Well, I
give this time till Tuesday night but I'm not sure why you're against
negative feedback. They there for that reason.

Cheers,
