Personally, I think your last response may have been a little harsh. Granted, they could have done a better job of packing your stuff, but was there a guarantee of any kind listed on the auction or an offer for "Collector's Grade" as suggested?

And in your first response, you clearly stated you weren't mad, yet your last response (and this thread) shows that you clearly are upset.

Also, I would consider Mother's Day to be a perfectly acceptable excuse, especially if the dude is married and has kids (I know from personal experience). How long was the wait between the end of the auction and your first request for an invoice?

I'm just trying to come at this from an objective point of view, not to point fingers or take sides, mind you.
