Hi Cowgirl,
Don't feel bad--even the most canny people sometimes get ripped off.
I paid $600.00 for an inverter. It ended up being JUNK of the worst sort. I returned it for a full refund. That was 3 years ago--funny--I've never gotten their cheque.
Then there was the generator that came not working correctly--after I had it fixed--it burst into flame while being tested (thank goodness it was outdoors at the time). No refund available--but they offered to sell me another one at 50% off. I declined. (btw I'm clearly NOT very canny.)

The first guy came highly recommended by a horse trailer dealer, so I didn't worry or check references. Bad on me. I'm taking him to court, which is out of state.
Not asking for pity. It just sucks.
