Thanks again everyone. Unfortunately, after a long period of not hearing from the seller, I received this reply last night:
"I decided to sell locally so I could personally exchange money for cards rather than do it online. Appreciate your interest and professionalism, but I was not completely comfortable dealing online."
We spoke on the phone briefly once, but primarily communicated through email, and at one point I was simply awaiting a PayPal invoice.
His latest reply was a surprise, but I certainly understand that not everyone is as comfortable doing business over the internet as most of us are.
Lesson learned: Offer to travel and meet in-person next time an opportunity like this comes along (if ever).
He lives in Texas, and I don't know anything more specific than that. Hopefully the couple of key cards will show up soon though. At least we know of their existence, wherever they may end up.
