	I would like to thank all of you who responded with some very 
	valuable information such as the Federal & Oregon State Laws
	that might have been violated.

	I was contacted by Glen Anderson last night.  He called me and
	his attitude was very "care-free" about the whole situation.
	His reason for not calling us back was that he lost our phone
	number (yea - right !!!).  I asked him what his intentions were
	and he was less than truthful since he would NOT volunteer the
	information about getting paid the $250 (plus shipping) from
	FEDEX.  He was a little surprised when he found out that I 
	knew that he had paid a month ago by FEDEX.  He then offered
	to re-imburse us the $250, but no more.  I indicated to him
	that was NOT acceptable, and at that point he hung up on me.

	I called him back at his old number, which he answered this
	time.  I informed him that I wanted the entire $426 refunded 
	and if he wanted the printer back he could include the
	shipping charges.  He then started to try to get me to feel
	sorry for him, which simply did NOT work at this point in the
	negotiations.  I told him that I would give him until tonite
	to call me back and tell me what he has decided.  Thats the
	way it was left.

	Do you think I am being to hard on this guy ??
