Exactly my thought, Jake. I just chuck it up as cost averaging. One
time I won the auction on some cargo doors from a bad apple called Flo
Lemke on German Ebay. Lost $195 and received nothing from the guy.
Another time I bid on another cargo door on UK Ebay. It was brand new
and only $50. Fellow listmember Paul in the UK (forwarded) shipped it
to me at his cost even he was not the Seller. Reminds me that I owe
him a cold one if and when he visits San Francisco.

Interesting how the bad guy is stuck in my memory. For the life of me,
I cannot remember the name of the Seller for the bargain doors.
