i have never bought anything from Nikad (i wanted that pipe too Fox), but to me it was one of those roll the dice things for the buyer. The buyers should have known the history. I don't buy something from someone on here without looking for negs on their record. "Once bitten, twice shy" should be all the buyers motto now. They didn't get ripped off, just stressed out. Nikad had haters and lovers on here. Plenty of people had a legit gripes and others had his back. I guarantee that any of those people that were saying to lay off Nikad would have been blowing up some other sellers phone if it was them waiting on expensive parts and not having any communication with the seller for a month. Come on. My dad used to say "right is right." Meaning you know if ur in the wrong and not doing something about it and the converse is true too. Glad u boys got ur stuff though and it sounds resolved (too a point).
