Hope this isn't a sign

[Crusher]

Just bought a guitar off Ebay, the seller is in Alabama, here is the email I just received:

"As was stated in the Ad Paypal is the only method of payment I accept. What is your shipping address and I will determine shipping costs since you apparently live in the UK."

Huh? I live in Warwick, RI....Rhode Island.....one of the original 13 states.... I hope I get this thing in one piece and the seller is just geographically challenged. Now that I think about it, when I was in the Army a few guys did ask me where Rhode Island was, even when I said next to Massachusetts, they were like "where is that", then I would say New England, again blank looks, wasn't until I said near New York or Maine that they would know where it was [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Alabama scores at the bottom of the list almost every time as far educational scoring. I live pretty close to the Ala. line and I'll let you know "book learnin" ain't a real big priority.

I had a rep that refused to send a part to a guy in New England because we do not export our products. I took care of the guy and smoothed everything out. I then tried to explain New England to the rep and only received a blank look. I was telling her "you know New England, like the super bowl champs, the New England Patriots"? She never got it.
