It does appear as though the seller is trying to get out of letting you have
a set that went cheap because he carelessly misspelled ‘castle’ in the
listing.

Naw, that’s nothing to do with it really. As long as the words Tyco and Lego
appear, you’re golden.
FWIW, I honestly think that the number of people truly interested in Tyco has
dwindled radically. Given some of what TLC and MB are currently providing the
need for Tyco stuff is for madmen only. Basically, it’s not worth anyone’s time
really. I don’t see huge demand for it from anyone but Dave! or myself and we
each have our areas of interest that do not necessarily overlap. And Dave!
mostly just wants a representative sampling of each element for his clone CAD
work. That pretty much leaves me alone with the big Tyco jones -- that is, for
the real “hold them in your hands” bricks.

You could let the seller know you will be watching his future auctions like a
hawk, and if the set comes up again you have all the correspondence saved to
file a fraud complaint.

This will occur as a matter of course, I have ebay’s crazy “favorite searches”
turned on from long ago (a feature that appears at least partially broken to
updating, hmmm...).

Or you could just leave the negative feedback and let it go.

Yes, it will probably come to that. And it will mean nothing -- eBay has turned
basic honesty into a mere option of which one may or may not choose to make use.
I’ll give this loser another day to see the error of his ways or to make a
showing of proof in support of his story.
Hey, he gave me the money back again so he’s not a total creep. I almost half
believe his story, but then I’m willing to give most people the benefit of the
doubt. He gets my trust until he shows me that he does not deserve it. I am at
least suspicious of his story -- I mean, I’m not a complete idiot.
