I think this is the first time I can say I got taken when buying a part from someone, regardless of where they live.
I now have sent him almost $300 US dollars, and still no knob. I sent him the amount he asked for, then he said there was some extra charge for customs, so I sent another $50. I have sent him many emails, asking where the knob is, no response. So, you can see his name and address below in England, I would wait until he figures out pay pal, and I will never use Western Union again.
I hate to throw someone under the bus, but with no response from him, after sending almost $300, maybe he will see this and email me why he did not send the knob.

Do you have access to Western Union near you, as I could wire the money to them. Would that work? Thanks
