Dang! The perils of buying at a distance. Most people are honest, but that's no defense against cluelessness. If it's any consolation, I was recently disappointed in a long distance deal. A guy in another state ran across some one-owner McIntosh audio equipment -- two tube stereo amps, the correct preamp, and correct FM tuner. I made what I considered a fair offer and we traded email for weeks while various locals started stopping by to look. He kept me on the hook until he sold it all to a local buyer. I don't blame the guy -- he didn't owe me anything -- but I still felt let down. I had been imagining what fun it would be restore that stuff and use it.
Always more fish in the sea . . . .
