I've bought a few things from him over the years,starting probably over 20 years ago.He always did get back to me,it always took a couple of days.My last dealing with him was a few weeks ago when I bought some powerhouse brushes from him.He did tell me that his wife was ill and there would be delays.After that I still got them sooner than expected,and he threw a few extras in.I did try to contact him more than i needed to,but that was because in the past I've had troubles with the PM's not going through.So,I would message him just to find out if he had gotten my PM's from before.
