Chris, I am sending you via surface mail another order. This  is for
another grab handle on the passenger side door post. MO is enclosed in
the envelope.

Have deleted all the mail about good guy/bad guy Chris. What a PITA, all
that stuff



thanks, i appreciate it..
just doing this for a little while longer till i get rid of most of my stuff.
 after this experience, id soon just get rid of it all and be done with it.  
its not worth being permantntly branded like the way that guy did that to me
over a $25 item because i forgot to put some damn sheetmetal screws in the
box, and the delay from complications with my eye surgery. i couldnt even
drive for 2 weeks.  i feel like i gotta send a doctors note to the vw van
list.  
i dont do this for a living, but it does take time.  with the feedback i get,
it seems as most people just want to complain. most people think that i run
some kind of shop or business, or big vw junkyard or something. it aint like
that..   they think and have  nothing better to do with my time than cater to
their vanagon parts needs.  ..  Im not Busdepot or Vanagain with shiny new
parts, big websites and next day shipping.  thats not me.  there are others
on the list who are also parting out vanagons, alot of people.  yes, i have
more vw van/bus related parts than the average person.. because i have a
place to store it, and its accumilated over the years.  you know, have space,
accumilate stuff.    and so i post it to the list , offering it to others who
may need it. i try my best to get stuff out timely, but i dont have a UPS
pickup service who'll come to my door everytime someone wants something. i
gotta drive 45 mins to the UPS ditribution center.  so i often get a few
things together to make the trip worthwile.   but i dont need all this.   i
dont want it to get to the point where i go to a vw function and feel
ostracized (sp?) from other listmembers.  all this sh*t in the past few days
makes me sick, wondering  why i dont just sell the 2 remaining vw's i own and
get a damn HONDA.  

sorry, john, the above wasnt directed at you,  i am just venting..
