Hi Mike,
I think the board is tired of hearing of this matter.But,I for one understand exactly where you are coming from and wished the board was more sympathetic.You were screwed and just want to vent. If it happenend to some of the other members I am sure they would see it more clearly.
I don't know if Mr. Hacket intentionly did this or not.But,the way I understand it is he did give you the wrong city and zip and I think that makes him a great deal more responsible for the loss.
But,the point most are trying to make is when selling something valuble that can not be replaced it is a good idea to protect yourself and insure it even if the buyer does not.Yes,it adds to the bottom line but, it really can give you peace of mind!!
Mike, you are a great guy and super part of the chipping community.We really appreciate your contribution to our hobby.I hope you resolve this issue and I understand your anger but, I hope you can chill just a bit because this anger is not healthy to keep worrying about and carrying with you. Remember a bomb usually explodes and we don't want that. Try to let it go and work it out behind the scenes.
I wish you well my friend!! Good Luck!!
Your humble supporter and friend-
Mitch Heller
