I must confess, I have purchased from her (messages were from a woman). A little over a month ago (before I joined VDF), I was looking for COB sticksavers for my 13" tom. I wanted to get some in as good a condition as the rest of my hardware and she had 2 in real good shape, but not mint. I watched them on feeBay for a while and couldn't find any others in good condition. I bit the bullet and paid $49 each for them. She was kind enough to discount shipping on the second one by 50%, this brought my shipping total down from an astronomical $33.90 to a whopping $25.43! (I just shipped 2 spare 14 inchers to NC yesterday for $12 via USPS). She ships from Ft. Myers, FL and I live on the MS coast, so how could it cost that much!? Soap Box
But, I guess that's the price you have to pay sometimes to get what you want. As they say, it's worth as much as someone's willing to pay for it. I was willing to pay that much to get period correct parts in good condition for my new old kit. I more than likely won't be buying anything else from her though, now that I've got a lot of new friends that are willing to help. Thank you all for the shared knowledge and a BIG thanks to those of you who have offered assistance in obtaining parts and other issues.
