    Great sellers, I’ve purchased from them before and had a great buying experience, however for this purchase I was a little disappointed to find one of the camcorders broken during shipment, the box used was very thin and split open at one of the corners, other than that everything was as described

    It was so easy to may my purchase. The seller was clear about the condition of the boots. There were plenty of photos showing the boots. They were as described. I knew what I was going to receive. The boots were packaged safe and sound. Shipping was excellent. I believe I got a good value for my dollar.

    The book I ordered arrived in the mail and I couldn't be happier! It came just as described by the seller, barely used, if at all. The price was too good to pass up; the shipping was fast and packaged securely, as well. All in all, it was a pleasant experience. I would recommend this seller to anyone. Thank you!
