Beware of a company named Advantage out of NY. I sent a Mike Germony at this company a Amiga 4000 over a month ago and despite being promised 'a check will be sent out today' 3 times I still have seen no check. I have had no dealings with this company in any issue other than this, and I just hope to keep some other poor fool from falling for what I obviously have. I would be careful with any and all purchases or sales to this company.

j., Sorry to hear of your problem. Do you have a proof of shipping, and delivery? You should get on the phone to the NY attorney general's office. Where exactly is this place? Certainly call the better business bureau as well. Good Luck, Gary

Gary, Yes, I have proof of everything and I'm seeing my lawyer next week about it. Thanks for the concern!

Well it's a hard lesson to learn but I've found that the best way is to ship it COD Cash only, or prepay with shipment after the check clears the bank, no exceptions. I've done quite a few transactions like this here and on the Internet and so far everyone has been happy. Hope you eventually get your money! // John (Warp 4040 & Emplant Quadra 840) \X/ Mercury@ins.infonet.net
