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 ?? Bruce
