Guys, It is with my extreme pleasure that I come in here to report that this has been worked out and resolved. Tristram and I, despite our initial misunderstandings, have come together and gotten this taken care of. I was wrong in my paranoid beliefs that he was trying to scam me. That was an over reaction on my part as a result of having been burned before.
Lesson learned on my end of things.
Mods, please lock this thread.
Thank you everyone for your help.

who's glad this finally has gotten cleared up.
