Blind Squirrel

That is good news.  Thanks for keeping us posted.

Looks like the factory screen protector is still in place.  I would peel it back far enough to see whether the screen is actually scratched.  

Nearly forgot... Same day, I emailed another small dealer from his website contact page.  Still haven't heard from him.

I texted my dealer   if he had any info on expecting the next manticore shipment.  No response.

Been there, done that recently.  Texted a small metal detector dealer and it went like this...

Me:  Hey, this is Blind Squirrel, I'm interested in product A and product B.  Can you call when convenient for you?

Dealer:  I don't think we can get product B yet, but I'll check.

Me:  Not surprised.  I'm good with a follow-on order.

A week has gone by - crickets.
