I guess he must of hit rock bottom and he must not have my Nipponias, so that is why he hasn't mailed them back.
This time I gave him the opportunity to send the Nipponia or send me a refund or I was going to do as many others have done and file charges.
Kopp is still continuing to sell with all the complaints that have been filed aginst him and doesn't even have the sense to change user names.
