Alas, I didn't and after so many prior good purchase experiences with all the other sellers I've encountered through the years prompted me to use Paypal friends & family (no recourse), I'm now out $540 and very unlikely to recover it. He was very communicative during the one evening and following morning as we negotiated on two adult female T's I was seeking to buy. However, almost laughingly instantly after he announced "Got it" for receiving my Paypal, he totally vanished off the radar and never replied to a slew of subsequent requests I made to at least let me know when he might get to shipping. Though I'd never done business with him before, I've seen so many ads of his over recent years, I thought he must be a reliable seller as I couldn't imagine he was all the while trying to set up one single 'Sting' for just over $500 so I must assume he's just prone to dubious business practices or outright swindling on a routine basis. With two issues in one month, my advice is just stay clear, there's too much risk of getting disappointed.</p></blockquote><p></p>
