I don't think any of the contributors are of the impression they got scammed. It was an old bike, not running, that most likely would still be sitting around in the way if this contribution wasn't made. Only people stark raving upset on the deal was/is the two Walkers. As soon as they found out that the kid couldn't touch the ground when sitting on the bike, they figured that was as good as a woman and they attacked. Acorn posted 49 messages about Chris attempting to solict others to join his crusade against the kid who couldn't yet touch the ground. I think all involved learned something, at very little expense.. I'm looking forward to the day Chris can touch the ground. Someone will be pissing themselves. ...louie
