His response was “that’s all you want to buy?” to which I said yes. He then sighed and reluctantly took my order. Upon receipt, the part was a poorly reproduced version of the original part, the art work was off-center and after attempting to “fix” it myself, I threw it in the trash. So my only experience with him was he was uninterested in my business and the product he sold and represented me was shit. So no, I will not call him ever again because to me, that behavior speaks to total lack of INTEGRITY AND ETHICS. I hope the $12,000 you bought from him were better than my $25. part.</span><span style="font-size: 9pt; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);"> </span></div><div><div style="border-style: solid none none; border-top-color: rgb(181, 196, 223); border-top-width: 1pt; padding: 3pt 0in 0in;"><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;">From:</span></b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="mailto:sdpanteras@googlegroups.com" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;">sdpanteras@googlegroups.com</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>[<a href="mailto:sdpanteras@googlegroups.com" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;">mailto:sdpanteras@googlegroups.com</a>]<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b>On Behalf Of<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></b>Kevin Ryniker<br><b>Sent:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Monday, February 03, 2014 8:30 PM<br><b>To:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>'Westmicro';<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="mailto:mikebecker@cox.net" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;">mikebecker@cox.net</a>;<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="mailto:edducati@mac.com" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;">edducati@mac.com</a>;<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="mailto:sdpanteras@googlegroups.com" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;">sdpanteras@googlegroups.com</a><br><b>Subject:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>RE: [SDP] Hi Everyone please read<o:p></o:p></span></div></div></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">I Have to agree with Mike to the extent that there must be something else going on.
