Just my

BTW ... does anyone know how much the whole kit weighs? I estimated 50 lbs and Fedex Ground from West Palm to a Fedex store near me would only be $23.

I'm not really anxious to have the kit in my hands. I'm just anxious to seal the deal so some random local fl guy doesn't ****** it up.

. Where exactly does your buddy live in Florida? Flying down would be last resort, but if you can get him to still check it out then I'll wait. I just thought things fell through with you friend checking out the kit. Thats why I decided to maybe go this route.

Do what I did *especially with items over 1k*, pay via credit card over paypal and tell him you want 1 day overnight shipping. Pay the same day and if he doesn't give you a tracking number by the end of the night or if you don't see anything at your doorstep the next morning: call your credit card company and cancel regardless of what excuse he gives. Keep it canceled until he's ready to ship or use www.escrow.com. You are only allowed to draw $500 out of paypal per day anyways, so it's totally safe if you use your credit card.

On a side note; I still have to convince the SO that this purchase was the greatest thing to happen since sliced bread. uh ... not only does it boost hp but .... it makes prada and versaci hand bags

Gate closes like 10 - 15 minutes prior to take off... That gives you 30 mins... from the time you step off the plane till you have to be back on. You have to exit security to meet this guy, then go back through security and get back to the gate.
The odds are, you would never make the return flight, even at a small airport.

. That's some BS though that they had the nerve to sell a ticket that would virtually be impossible to make the return flight on. Bastards!!

If you're worried about stealing the deal, offer him a little deposit and my buddy will check it out this weekend.

He said he'll check it out this weekend if the guy is available, but he hasn't heard from him yet and will try calling him again. Did you tell him to be expecting a call?
