You're misreading my message man. Let me clarify. $500 is a lot of money, if I lost it, I'd be pissed, as you are. But you said yourself you should have checked with him first before sending the money. That doesn't excuse what was said, but to get the money back would be my personal goal, rather than trying to vent on the forum. In my experience when a vendor has made a mistake or I'm waiting on a re-ship, rather than inflaming the situation, I usually try to work with them so I get my desired end result. I've been purchasing from IOP's or a little over 2 years, and we've ALL had an issue where a shipment is seized by customs, wrong order, delays, etc. Easiest way to get what you want, especially as you said "in this not so legit world", is to work with, rather than against. Same energy being used on here, could be done in a more productive manner to get your money back. That is what I meant. Sorry if you took it the wrong way.
