They said they HAVE to ship it to us. What kinda crap is that. He's making his money on shipping. He wanted $23.00 to ship 10miles for a 0ne pound part. We ship all over the country and $23.00 can ship one pound a pretty long way. When we asked why they wouldn't let us pick it up they would not reply. They sell alot on ebay. They are Crooks as far as we are concerned. Heck we deliver parts in the Houston area sometimes for free
THis is pretty much the same thing that happened to my son and I. He works as a video editor in Los Angeles and needed a couple 19" flat screens. He knows how to edit, but he does not like buying hardware. That is my job. So...I found a couple of flat screens on ebay about 30 miles from him. They wanted $50 each to ship. I emailed them about picking them up and they said no. I went to NewEgg and bought a couple of nicer ones for the same price and shipping was free.
