D. - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of Frank Filippone Sent: Saturday, August 24, 2002 2:49 PM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: RE: [Leica] re: dishonesty on the lug I trust my fellow man. But after doing business for 35 years through mail order, used, etc, I trust payment first. Pay me and you will get your goods. Balk at payment up front, and I then go into distrust mode.... with good (suspicious) reasons and the deal is off. I either know you, at which point I MAY be lenient, or you pay up front, or the deal gets closed down.... I remember a guy that bought a 3F from me.... His check arrived without a signature. He wanted me to ship the camera to him anyway. When I balked, he told me he was part of the ( country X) Embassy staff and therefore his word was good. When I refused, he claimed he was going to have me sent to jail. I still have the camera. Never been in jail.
