RE: [Leica] Bad Ebay Experience

[kiklaas@iinet.net.au]

Hi Austin,

The item number is #1332617949 if this helps at all, I have looked at my 
ebay and it seems that with the new setup design that I appear not to have 
a "won bid" record" how odd?

Hope this helps.

I acn tell you that my money and I are not easily parted and so the only 
reason I kept forking out was to secure shipping without the saga dragging 
on endlessly, me being out of pocket with nothing to show for it.  Won't 
be going there again.  (He must have seen me coming a mile away..)
