Hey Guys,

I need to know the financial arrangements you made with Gil Irwin regarding his Skyline Duck Dunn. He ordered this bass through VBTC and I am holding a $500 deposit. Did he pay you in full and should I refund his deposit or was some other arrangement made and should I send you the $500?

Please let me know asap as he has apparently filed a complaint with the FBI against VBTC and I would like to clear the matter up as soon as possible.

Regards,

Steve Barr
 
Dude, whats the go mate?

The "go" is I have had other things to contend with and have not been able to reach anyone at Lakland to determine whether or not I should send the $500 to them or return it to Gil...nothing more. Furthermore, nobody (Gil or Lakland) has either called or emailed me regarding this issue and I am left to piece things together by following around various posts on the internet while my telephone and email remain fully functional and capable of communication.
