faro wrote:Thanks! I'd be looking a bit stupid if you didn't since I was the bidder who paid $66.05 for the cut-up example noted on the previous page; which I thought was a good price, fwiw. The fact that the seller in your case stated "GREAT CONDITION!" left the decision up to you, anyhow, since that clearly was not the case regardless of the price being fair or otherwise. And as you're unhappy, it sounds like you've made the right decision. Pity you ca'n't get your time back, too, but has been an interesting discussion, thanks.
