Jeff ObermeyerI've got to agree with Bruce here. If the seller does have solid feedback you really should give them the benefit of the doubt before you threaten to do a whole bunch of other stuff. If, after reading your initial polite email, the seller refuses to comply, then you can always let them know what's in store.
A similar thing happened to me about two years ago with an N300 Mayo. The second I opened the package I knew it was a repro and was bummed, figuring I'd have a long fight to see my $130 again. However, I emailed the seller with my concerns and presto - full refund, no problems.
This has happened to me once on the selling end as well, when I sold someone a 1956 Topps Jackie Robinson that he sent to PSA - they said it was trimmed. He sent me a nice email, I refunded his money (I opted to keep the card... didn't want to sell it as trimmed only to have someone else sell it as legit).
Adam, I think that you may have let your recent experience with the wacko have too much impact on that email. Just one man's opinion...
