I'm not bad-mouthing anyone. All I said was that I was very disappointed. I'm giving an unbiased, and honest review/account of my dealing with him. I called him because of the repeated ravings of his good prices. I take my business where it's appreciated. As a matter of fact, the Les Bear is for my best man, not for me. He was going to purchase one in CT, and I said he should give Jim a try since I heard nothing but good things about him.
FYI: I' just received a call with a price. A very good price! It sometimes takes a squeaky wheel. I believe 5 weeks is a very long time. I called way in advance, because I knew my buddy's permits would take a while.
