Leon,
I did not get a little frustrated, I was angry as hell. I will no longer purchase antique cards from sellers I have not done successful business previously and that irritates me. Even though the seller's mother in this case offered a refund it wasn't until I threatened legal action that she did so. This incident was sucking my time away from me and after Anna began to see my point is when I decided that this was not intentional but negligent, and it became easier for me to let it go.

Dan is right. This is a case of principle. For me, I must let it go and had. I bought a card that was advertised as VG/EX authentic, the card was a fair conditioned fake. I initially informed the seller and requested refund, I was denied and sent irate emails questioning who was I to know the difference. I posted on this board. I responded to the sellers refusals with threats of legal action. Seller's mother got involved. She wanted to know why I believed the card to be fake, I asked what made the seller think it was authentic. She continued to question my "authority" on the subject. I referred her to this board for education and pressed the legal issue. She then offered a refund, but the original seller did not.

I judged the sellers mother to be reasonable and let the whole thing go due to its drain. Now it's back and I'll quell it.
