Thanks, TT - and from here on out, I'll be doing the same. It just burns me (and I know I'm not alone here) when someone describes something and hopes someone else will buy off on their judgement of said something. The main reason this practice irks me is that any buyer not happy can return it, sure, but has to eat return shipping. That's like paying for the opportunity to see the item in person in order to assess it, when an honest description and detailed photos could tell the story instead.

Two issues out of almost forty recent Ebay transactions; I guess that's not too bad
