I had been chatting with the seller after Doug sent out his original mail;
I expressed interest in a few items and was going to work out having stuff
shipped but the seller stopped responding very quickly.  To be fair, I
didn't try following up more than a couple of times (I was on vacation at
the time, so there's my excuse.)  I just assumed she'd gotten better
offers.  I suppose I could contact her again but after seeing the eBay
auction I'm not really feeling it.
