(as "kamraz" -- since 1997)) Some words of advice: Always use paypal or similar if buying. Never buy from someone without money back rights (minus shipping of course). Actually look closely at the feedback comments, especially the older ones, not just the recent ones. Ignore fancy or flashy web pages, a simple description is all one needs if buyer and seller know what they are talking about. I'd email the seller and see what they say. And if you are treated poorly, let us know the sellers' name.
