i have worked with this dealer for at least 6 years and never a problem. unlike some of the other dealers that come through Montana, all my dealings with this man have been through email except for one time when i went to CA to turn in one of the service pups i had raised and met him in person. he has always told me that if i was not happy with anything he sent i could return it. but he is so angry that i told him he was wrong about the beads that he wants to end our relationship, NOW. i just did a tally and i bought almost $8000.00 from him last year so it shows how angry he is if he is willing to throw that business away. in fairness to him i think he is super angry at his suppliers but cannot deal with them now because he is in CA and they are in Africa so i get major anger.

his demands are that i return all the beads bought from him in the last couple of weeks or he will not give me a "single penny" in refund. i cannot do that because i have already sold some of those beads and since i mostly sell single beads, some of the strands have been cut up.

i decided before going to bed last night that i would just not say anymore, keep all the beads and work with the traders that i can deal with in person.

in my last email to him i said, "i feel very sad for you".
