Hey no prob. I like free things like everybody else, but I like them the legal way. It's not fair to build something that your proud of, just to have someone take advantage of you. I just thought you guys might to have a heads up on this.

Never had a peice come back from overseas. Although I know how many are over their and who has them too. :wink:

I have the perfect reply to that:

Hello, how is Brazil? I would normally send one out but I somehow misplaced the $500 that I earned from selling the first unit to you (the stores keep records, really they do!) If you could just send me the $500 that I put somewhere, I know it's around here, I'll go ahead and send you out the CC2 and when I find the $500, I will send you back the money. Thanks!

Yeah, you're right. I think the best answer is say that you will send another pedal, but you will need another $500, and when the pedal that the man said he bought and sent to you arrive, you will send the $500 back to the man.
