I hated to do it but after email & voicemail communication from the seller, I felt there was something terribly wrong.
I may be wrong but I felt that I was about to lose a lot of money and have nothing to show for it.
My gut instincts are often correct enough for me to trust them and sadly I walked away from this set.
I thought I had finally gotten hold of a ctc-9.
I am disgusted with the whole ebay experience.
