I just thought I should put a post about kvinbrwr since I wasn't the buyer and I can't leave an itrader for him.
My friend bought a Tad that Kevin (kvinbrwr) had on ebay.
After my friend won the auction, he contacted me since I already contacted Kevin via PM here to see if it was him that had the cue on ebay and the fact that his English is not his native language and he didn't want to miscommunicate with Kevin.
Problem was that my friend was leaving for Japan two days after the auction ended and couldn't inspect the cue if it was shipped right away. He wanted to delay the shipment till April 3rd so he can inspect the cue once he got back.
Kevin was happy to do so, and even thought I wasn't the person that actually won the auction, he worked with us, communicating with my friend via e-mail and me via PM here on AZ.
Then Kevin contacted me last week saying that he is visiting his mother and can not send the cue on April 3rd. I was sure that my friend wanted to see his new Tad once he got back so we talked via PM about what kind of options we have. Kevin went out of his way by saying that since it was him that can not send it on promised date, he will ship it on the 31st of March and my friend can inspect it for extended period of time after receiving the cue. All during this time, I wasn't able to contact my friend but Kevin's generous offer made it easier for me to decide for my friend.
All in all, my friend came back to the US and his office yesterday and he was very happy with his new Tad when we played last night.
Big big thumbs up to Kevin. He is a great seller and top notch.
Big thank you from Tomo and also from me, Kevin!!.
