Yo Matt ! i'm with you all the way man apart from the length of time taken to spill your guts. I think you either need to deal with companies off here or that people off here use and vouch for and please remember if you collect a part and decide not to use it for 2 years then find out its wrong or broke 99% of people will fuck you off i think.
What is happening with Dirk ?? can he help resolve anything and why did you sell somthing and not get the money 1st ??
hope you don't mind me saying this but i feel its the way it is unfortunately even though i feel for you man
