David,
Andre' gave a pretty good account of what went down. I am pleased that as a result of my misgivings he did "due dilligence", as we all should, and had a satisfactory ending. When dealing with on line purchases, regardless of the vendor, you must never blindly accept everything that is presented. Even the dealers with the best reputations can sometimes also be taken in themselves. We must be careful when suggesting fraud as it is difficult to determine whether it is a true mistake or a deliberate misrepresentation. You cannot say for sure that any "enhancement" to a piece was performed by the vendor or if he took in a boosted piece and didn't check it out thoroughly. Heed Andre's warning and move on.
