Thanks everybody, for the help.

I've been out of touch since last Wed (BIL's 21st birthday--in New
Orleans; a good time was had by all) but I sent the guy another email
today and hope to hear back soon. If that yields nothing after a few
days, it's on to Ebay and PayPal.

Larry, I got no notice from Ebay or the seller, just PayPal. That's
why the spidey-sense started tingling. Also, you're right--I wasn't
paying all that much attention, but my three bucks is my three bucks.

Anyway, 'preciate the assist.
