If this star is shedding its mass so frequently, is it not reasonable to suggest it could shed enough, often enough, to be under the mass needed to become a black hole?
If this superstar sheds its mass this way, wouldn't other super massive stars behave the same way.
The what is left to create black holes?

I hope this is the place to send this post. If it is not, let me know and I will re-post this.

I recently responded to an Astromart ad and sent a cashiers check and I did not received the telescope.

I was able to contact the seller one time since the agreed sale by PM, about 3 weeks after sending the money. He stated he received the cashiers check and sent the scope, but it was damaged in transit by USPS. He stated the money order was less than what I had sent to him, that he was not a thief (?) and he said he was sending the money back to me. I thought it strange that he would ship the scope if the check was not the amount agreed upon. The statement of not being a thief sounded good at the time and I gave him the benefit of doubt.

I sent him the check on 5/26/09 and I have received no cash back and no attempts to contact me by e-mail or PM. One other thing, he has since deleted the ad he posted, the one I responded to.

Can you help me with this?

Thanks,
Mark

Is it possible to rate a transaction that was with a vendor ? I asked them if there was some way to rate their service. They are new to the classifieds and they did not have an answer. I looked at some of the threads under this topic and I did not find an answer.


Thanks,

Hi,

I have a need for the wisdom of the overseers!

I am looking for a vendor/sponsor. He has responded to an ad that I posted. I am trying to find his vendor name in the listings provided and I am not able to locate him.

This has been my search criteria that has had no success:
Under My Account, "Unused Ratings." He has responded to my want ad. This has be the easiest place to start in the past. Nothing!

Under About AstroMart, "Sponsors." Nothing!!

Under About AstroMart, "User Profiles," Nothing!!!

Do you have any and all suggestions that I can use now and in the future, if this happens again?


I need to respond to him ASAP. I also have four other potential sellers that are waiting on your response.


I guess I can give you his user name in a PM, if there is no other search suggestion available.



Thanks for your help!
