Matthew, Do you mind sharing who you bought the geiger counter from? I was just about the go ahead and grab one for a geiger counter project. SBM20 or maybe STS6.
As for Jon, Keep nagging that Russian joker. Squeaky wheel gets the grease, Counter pressure her, Sympathy goes a long way and ensure her this is just a mistake, Then indicate you wish to continue to do business so please rectify this immediately and thus you can continue to use her. Recite some of her auctions like you really want to do business and use her again........ As a shooting target with your Russian PPSH41 - LOL Take care On Friday, November 15, 2013 1:29:22 PM UTC-7, Matthew Smith wrote: > > Quoth Chris Stalin at 16/11/13 06:10... > > > She has 99% feedback, Insist she gives you a refund or resend you some > > more goodies.
