It's not often that any of us need to warn the rest of us of customers or businesses that simply do not play the game the way the rest of us try to operate by the accepted rules.

If there ever comes a time that you, as a consumer or as a business, feel that a light needs to be shined upon another business or person who has not operated according to the established rules and regulations, this may be the place to do that shining.

You need to have your facts right.  This is not the place for emotional outbursts or from-the-hip-I'm-so-pissed-off-I-could-choke-so-I'll-say-whatever-I-damn-well-please-shots.  Be cool.  Like Sgt. Friday used to say, "Just the facts, Ma'mm, just the facts."

So here's a tale to set the tenor of the page.

A certain Mr. Smithers committed to purchase a unique H&K pistol for a figure just under $800.00. The terms of the sale were accepted and paperwork was exchanged and evidence that payment was on its way was submitted. That was the last the seller heard from Mr. Smithers. No payment was received, no apologetic email or snail mail to explain the situation, nada, ziltch, zip, nothing. Granted, electronic and USPS, UPS, FedEx and all other carrier service may have ceased to exist in Mr. Smither's part of North Carolina, and some word may yet come out of that part of the United States, but this seller is not holding his breath on this one.
