DO NOT SELL OR BUY FROM THAILAND

I admit, I fell for a scammer from Thailand, even though I was warned. It just was that it took forever to sell my Stealth cables at a give away price. These cables are awesome, but evidently not popular in the USA. I refused to send the cables to the buyer because he wanted me to declare the value at $30 USD for custom fees. So he had me direct the shipment to his friend in SoCal. Now, after UPS (and I insured the cables for $4,000 to save on shipping-my fault) delivered the package, the buyer says his friend did not sign and receive the cables! Just be aware A-Gon members, and don't be foolish like me.

dragon_vibe,

I have also been scammed by more sellers and buyers from the US than from any other country. But this does not prevent me from doing business with the US. It all comes down to honest people and dishonest people. It's the luck of the draw no matter what country we are talking about.

Unfortunately their are some patriotic minded fools which trying to convince everyone the rest of the world are just a sham and its best to buy local American Made Products. This level of thinking is what sets people back.

Iv seen some Crappy and Good Quality products from the USA. The Same Applies to the rest of the world. This American Patriotic attitude is just plain silly.

Some of the best build quality, service and support has actually come from England and EU. Not from USA.

dragon_vibe,

I agree with you that US patriotism -- in fact any patriotism -- is just plain silly. It can also be very dangerous.

To those bleeding hearts who insist on pretending that national origin is meaningless when it comes to predicting honesty and fair business practices would you be the least bit hesitant to buy or sell something from a party in say,  Nigeria? To start waving the racism card while denying that some cultures conducting unsavory business practices is almost a national pastime is the height of naive wishful thinking.

That does a great dishonor to real patriots who have sacrificed, literally, life and limb so "enlightened" people like yourself can safely spout such drivel.
