This is part of the message Phil Hilton sent to me:

"if you don't know me, then it is none of your damn business what I do or anyone else does on EBAY. You can bet your hat and your ass you won't get anything from me...that that to the bank".

I have bought several strikes from him back in 2003 and had great transactions each time. Never a problem, but that was before he started charging $300 for shipping and insurance (required).

He now states that I won't get anything from him and that's OK because with those shipping and insurance rates I won't be bidding on any of his auctions.

Sorry Phil, but good luck with your auctions...Ken
