Just want you all to know that Mikel is a true gentleman. I was going to purchase a used Tejon from him, with 2 coils, and sent him the money order. He had indicated that the machine was tuned up from Tesoro and is ready to go.
He then e-mailed me the other day and said he took the Tejon out for a test and it was acting very erratic. He said he did not think Tesoro tuned it correctly and he felt uncomfortable selling the machine to me , so he is mailing back my money order. He was also going to add $10 for my troubles, which I quickly told him that was unnecessary.
It's always good to know there are people out there who you can put your trust in. It's sad when you read posts where deals went bad or people got ripped off.
I hate to say it, but it may come to a point where we as detectorists have to pay a registration fee to the sites just to keep the jackasses out . These forums are free, but with that, comes the ability to prey on innocent folks.
Glad to know there are still people like Mike out there.
God bless you Mike and thanks for being honest.
