Which is worse, bidding to get keep the value high or telling him that was
all he was doing???
My opinion on Scooterworks changes with the seasons. When everyone else is
out of stock, they usually have what I need. I prefer to deal with Calif
shops, whenever possible however. Today my opinion of Scooterworks is very
low, as I received a bill for postage on a shipment I returned to them, that
I NEVER ordered in the first place!
