    yeah basically 2 people have done charge backs on his paypay and now he is in negative balance. So I can not send him funds using that. Guess I'm going to use western union to do it.

    Oh boy! Western Union, that doesn't sound dodgy at all!

    A better option might be buying UPS labels or USPS labels (not sure if you can buy USPS labels) I've often received offers to have UPS labels sent to me though. Might be safer then sending western union since it can only be used for one purpose.

    Yeah I know how that sounds trust me

    Yeah but doing that way I would end up having to like mail the labels to him, kind of defeats the purpose of trying to get everything mailed fast.

    I'm still hoping for a miracle here but a Western Union would open up much vulnerability. I've worked at retailers who do the WU money orders and wired funds and there is little to no recourse if you get shafted by the recipient.

    well there is hope yesterday David sent me a txt that I feel will end up helping everyone, plus I am actually trusting not just David with the money, but also our fellow members.

    And that tracking number I sent to citris3000psi says it should be delivered later today (but with current weather might take a day longer I would think). So once packages start showing up into peoples hands will be better. Not sure if I posted this yet or not but that package David covered the shipping I have not given him any money yet.

    Don't use Western Union. No comeback, and there's a charge.

    As I said before, if you insist on paying for shipping, YOU (the recipient) order the shipping and pay for it. I also mentioned that he won't be able to use his PayPal if he's in debt (which includes you guys doing chargebacks, of course).

    Still, it sounds promising.

    I did get the package last night. Everything looked to be in order. I haven't test it yet, it might be a while before I do so. I already have an x3 in my regular use xbox. But I do have a virgin 1.6 up on a shelf I plan on installing this into.

    I got to say I'm still surprised I got this. And I don't think I would have ever seen this without wizard stepping in.

    Thanks wizard!!!!!

    glad to hear that it arrived safely man, when you get the chance to test let me know :)

    just glad I could be of help on this.

    not yet, still waiting for a reply from David, I did send all the cheatsheet images to David (except mine) so that he can look over them and tell me which is the next one that he wants to work on next hopefully.

    Okay heard from David, we is going to be gathering up and testing a couple packages hopefully this weekend, And one of my tax refunds arrived this morning so I have funds to hopefully cover the red case, and the 2 packages he is putting together.

    I will let everyone know once the package pictures are given to me, what the total cost for shipping was, and a tracking number when I get them from David.

    [UPDATE]

    tracking number for anthonyx3 sent to his inbox. supposed to be delivered on monday.
