Thanks for the update. I purchased wireless triggers from him in January
and got them promptly without any problems, but will stay away from him in
the future. I also try to stay away from sellers who sell cheap but charge
high s/h fees.
My favorite oBoy seller of all times is jinfinance, highly recommended.
