MOR Furniture, eh? Thanks for the advice.
Yeah, I hear ya that I should be glad that it was only $5 and not a lot more, but it's more about the principals than the $.
Unfortunately the guy has some cool stuff, some of which are at decent market prices, but there is an incredibly low probability that I would buy anything else from him/her. If I said anything to the guy about future purchases, it would be, in Charlie's epic words: "So now, not only have you been called out, you've lost probably hundreds if not thousands of potential dollars from 'Precious' who thought you were actually an OK guy."
