Principles vs. Price

[B1SON]

Well, just to let anyone interested in the final outcome of my dilemma, I bought the item but made him throw in free shipping. The reasoning is two-fold:
1. Nice item at a fair price.
2. I have bought two items in the past from this seller and they were both nice items and easy deals.
I still think I was shilled, but I am looking past it on this one.

I think you did the right thing Dan! Good decision!
