[QUOTE="Lowlacs, post: 8101834, member: 642968"] Ok thanks to all you guys for taking the time to read and reply. After reading some of ur replies I decided to look back on our pms and txt messages. As with any online deal I like to keep well informed, just ask Winky or anyone else Ive dealt with. So here is a Pm I sent him yesterday morning after tracking the package. In this message I clearly laid out power recommendations and kindly offered him a volt meter for free just to show my gratitude and freindliness.
