I got cheated and that hasn’t happened in a very long time. The shaper I bought took a dump, I can’t get parts, the guy I bought it from is out of business and it’s an import that as far as I can determine doesn’t make the same thing anymore (anyone speak chineese?)
It’s my fault, I know better. I forgot the first rule of not getting cheated. That rule is “you can’t cheat an Honest man” Instead of worring that the “deal” was fair for both parties, I spent my time trying it out.If I had thought about it in depth the way I should have I would have realized there was no way he could sell me something that much cheaper then the typical price and still make enough to pay his bills. I should have realized I was working with a failure who thought that a low enough price made up for his lack of salesmanship.

Hey Mr. French,
You get what you pay for. I got a great deal on an auto level in a pawn shop many years ago. Turned out to be a piece of junk. My mistake. Never again. Live and learn.
