Wonder why the seller has not commented yet? He has been a member here since 2010, has decent stuff for sale and I know some members who got great deals and parts from him. Glad he refunded you your money, sucks you had to pay shipping but sounds like it ended ok.
The biggest thing is that the interested party needs to see more pictures and better detailed pics if they are uncertain when it comes to deals. I have bought things on a whim cause they seemed like a good deal only to find out why it was so cheap...it happens and many times the buyer doesn't get any money back.
