- I made a mistake of _attempting_ to buy something from Taras some time
- ago.. In a nutshell, I send check, I never receive cards, I attempt to
- contact Taras for several months without luck, I inform the net about
- the run-around. Taras finally contacts me back, and after long
- 'discussion' I finally get my money back.
-
- The moral of the story? DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM TARAS LAWRIW!!!
- You're taking a very big risk. I have traded/bought/sold on the net
- before and I have never encountered the crap I had to deal with
- when it came to Taras.
-
- Just my opinion... your milage may vary...
