Ok, i'm closing this thread. I believe it has gone on long enough, and it has certainly deteriorated from the original thread starter's intent. and I believe both/all parties involved have made their decisions/actions/motives clear enough, so if you wish to continue on with the discussion, pls do so via PM or other private channels. I sincerely hope everyone will cool down and move on - these are isolated incidents which shouldn't mar members' transactions still, but in any case pls bear in mind Caveat Emptor - Buyer Beware.
Enough said.
