The second - there is risk from the seller themselves. Some sellers are dishonest. Some are not. Can a honest seller make a mistake and do something dishonest? Sure. But your chances of that happening are smaller than the risk you face with dealing with someone who is known for altering merchandise.
So to claim the two are equal risk (including both factors - instead of just your one factor) is factually and logically wrong.
And since the central and original question was - would you buy from PWCC in the future? The first risk is irrelevant in that decision making process as that risk is the same regardless of the seller (as YOU pointed out). Therefore only the second risk matters in answering this question.
So once again you have factually and logically answered the question incorrectly. Which you are free to do - just don't expect people to take what you say seriously if you can't think things through.

Are you saying he's using this risk theory?: "I'm going to jump in front of that speeding train, because if I stand here out of its way I could theoretically be hit by a car."
