If you try to or are successful in spoofing or defrauding me, I will take all legal action to prosecute. As a portion of proceeds go to support humanitarian relief, you will doing more than ripping off a person, you are affecting the lives of untold others. As most of these orgs are managed by former special operations personnel, you will also be incurring their wrath.

If you live within Florida, I may be able to fly or drive to pick up an item. (Same goes for defrauding).

To that end, I do not support excessive shipping/handling costs by either me or another person. I do not charge a handling fee unless it is an item that requires it. (Oversize, foreign packaging requirements, etc). I will not bid on an item no matter how much I want it if the S/H is ridiculous. Ex- a cassette sized item for $12 with $20 S/H from one end of Florida to another, or charging $7.00 s/h and delivering a package with a .37 stamp on it.

 I support the following organizations with a portion of proceeds.

Kiwanis of Cape Coral FL (Children are Priority One! Our aim is to enhance the lives of those living within our community).

Special Operations Warrior Foundation (Supports the children of US Special Operations Forces members killed in action by providing college grants).

Civil Air Patrol FL 040 Sq (Page Field/Lee County based. Aerospace Education, Search and Rescue. Congressionally chartered US Air Force Auxiliary).

Air Commando Association/McCoskrie Threshold Foundation (Ft Walton Beach based veterans org composed of USAF special operations personnel from WWII to the present. Threshold Foundation provides relief/aid to numerous peoples worldwide).

Knightsbridge International (Sir Ed Artis, former US Army medic, personally travels worldwide providing on-site medical assistance/supplies to peoples worldwide).
