I have had dealings with Barry too, over many years. In defense of Barry, he sells a lot of parts. Over a period of years I am sure that he would not remember every transaction. I don't consider Barry to be a crook, just a guy trying
to make a living who will sometimes sell a part
without full research on that part. (Especially
if he got the parts as part of a group deal). I
have never personally got stung by Barry but I
have always made sure I know what I was buying first before I gave him the money. Once he has the money, his memory of the transaction fades
quickly due to the volume of parts he sells. In
RAMAIRJOHN's case, I am sure that John considered
Barry a personal friend from the number of shows where they saw each other and sold parts. Most
parts have some interchange where the part can still fit. In the Cable example, this is not the case and Barry should return John's money at the
first opportunity. JMA Tom V.
