Thanks for the early responses so far. And apologies for our ambiguity -- he wrote via eBay messaging
to demand we send him more money privately off eBay, not writing us privately off eBay.
Seems self-incriminating.

Leon, that's probably wise advice, but we've adhered to that most of our lives and it just seems like
it gives some people license to walk all over us. Now that we've been card-carrying AARP members
for many years and it feels like time's growing short, we're less inclined to take things lying down...

iCollect, yeah, a scarce item for sure, but not terribly rare, let alone unique -- we'll eventually see another
and in much better condition, just not for the very nice price at which we won that auction. The guy's
attitude ticked us off as much as not receiving what we'd promptly paid for (he did refund us).
