Thanks to everybody who offered assistance in this matter. The seller finally
agreed to ship in exchange for a little more cash. It was fine since the
whole thing was my fault for overlooking the little blurb about "local pick-up
only" in the auction description.

It never ceases to amaze me how many listmembers offered to come to my aid in
such a short period of time. Some offering to drive as much as two hours away
each way. You guys are great.

Cheers,
