I don't know whom you bought them from, but I know one or two Ukrainian and Russian sellers who sell them and who are completely trustworthy. They are honest, they show you good pictures and they pack well. I don't want to advertise them on the list, but can reply off-the-list inquieries. Of course there is always a risk when buying a used item with mail-order, and the seller does not have a return policy. > AND payment had to be Western Union'd > to Russia in advance, This is indeed a serious drawback. And faster and more secure shipping like UPS or EMS from these countries expensive. I usually receive my items from Ukraine in about one week by UPS. Alex.
