Thanks for closing it, Avenger007.
I do want to exercise my privilege to render one "official" opinion on the catfight.
Master, BADWIN is not wrong. This should ideally have been handled by PM, and if called out in public, a subject title of "have I been scammed by XYZ" is unnecessarily provocative and inflammatory. In light of this, I've edited the official title of the thread, and should you receive the item you purchased, I want to request that you let one of us know, so the thread title can be changed again to reflect that this is finally over and done with, because not everyone is going to bother reading all twenty-two pages of drama.
BADWIN, I gave Master some slack because, as I had previously stated, while I don't agree with his judgment in starting the thread, he did back off after it was explained to him. So if he's already modified his behavior as I requested, there was no point in insisting that he feel bad about it.
Now, if Master insists on dragging it through the mud again and starts slinging arrows, then I can't defend him any longer, all bets are off, and you can have at each other all you two want, only please take it to PM.
