Just a heads up to anyone out there to possibly protect someone from a bad deal.

The guy I restored this beautiful NID for is Dan W. Mcelroy of Idaho Falls, ID. apparently of Mcelroy Construction and Delelopment LLC.

Well, Mr. Mcelroy is refusing to pay me for my work on this gun. To the tune of $4,400. I have had the gun completed since late May and he has been stringing me along and lying to me since then.

I still have the gun. But at this point it appears that he is sticking me with it.

Just be mindful of the name if anyone should possibly have any dealings with this guy. He cannot be trusted. Beware.

I would think a builder and developer would not have a problem with such a bill. When can you sell it?

Trust me, builders and contractors are like everyone else, some are good and some are worthless. I can say that because I have been selling product to that industry group for 32 years.

We have heard many stories on this forum about bad vendors as well as bad customers. Brian is my hero because he is the first one to name the offender, yes, the first time ever. We'll see how this pans out. This customer knew that the end result would not end up with a profit. It reminds me of a Parker VH 12 gauge that was in process for more than 15 years, but ended in a wonderful result. I'm sure the shipping charges were more than my VH is worth, but I'm very happy with it.
