I tried of course, but to the eBay listing so I suppose the messages were never passed on by the scoundrel.
To be fair, a couple of years later I did find an address for Shawn but all I asked him was did he have a catalog of recordings. He did not at the time and I did not follow up. I would have reminded him of the specific recording to see if he could make good on it or give me a discount, since as I recall the original amount was not very much. So I guess I really should not hold it against him. ---- Steven Medved <steve_noreen at msn.com> wrote: > The guy was selling the records for Shawn, he never paid Shawn and just took > the money and never sent the records.
