Sean, couldnt you return this and/or use ebay buyer protection to get a refund since the poster you were sent is NOT the copy that was advertised and offered in his auction? It wasn't as described and you could easily prove that. You would get initial shipping, poster cost and return shipping costs covered.
Might you consider doing that?
i could if it was bought on ebay, but i got it off his website
to be honest im kind of used to it with italian sellers either on or off ebay. im sorry to say they are the worst to deal with. which is a shame as they are my fave posters. i have WAY more italian posters than any others.
ill have to get digging and find some more rodolfo's hehe
