Lee says; "One lousy buck today might be a hundred bucks tomorrow."

True, Lee; but the simple fact remains is that it IS "one lousy buck" we're talking about today. I suggest making your case to ebay when it is a substantial amount of money. It just ain't worth the hassle for a buck, especially when both parties were operating outside the rules of Ebay. Obviously they had a gentlemen's agreement ... and one party (the seller) appears not to have been a gentleman about his offer ... so far... and we've only heard one side of the story.

What's next? If the seller is a club member should we file an official complaint with the Claims Director over a buck? Gimme a break!
