Yes, thanks. I am seriously considering a new Thedi. I love his selection of leather. My problem is that most of his designs are too complicated. I prefer simple moto/half-belt cuts.

This discussion is not about the scammer/fraudster referenced in the other thread, nor reactions to his communications and associated thievery. Rather, this thread is about negotiations between honest participants. A scam/fraud/theft is a completely different issue and one has every right to...
We ALL have purchased things for what we believed to be way, way below market value . . . and smiled all the way home at our good fortune. Exactly nothing wrong with that. Would I do this in a face to face transaction with an obviously mentally incompetent individual, and thereby take...
