Hey Barry,
keep doing what you do good! There are at least two possibilities here. The
guy really doesn't understand, in which case there seem to be a whole bunch
of us -- probably at least 25 and maybe a 100 or more -- who will be happy
to help you educate him in a reasonable way. OR the guy really is a jerk or
wants something for nothing, in which case HE should get reported to eBay!!
Whether you report him or he reports you, that same 25 to 100 or more guys
will joyously write to eBay to back you up.
No matter what, it is good to pull a good part, when you find it. So much of
this stuff has departed NOS, and much of it sooner than we'd like will be
unvailable in any commercial venue. WE are our only hope for continued
mobility.
