Giving rave review to this professional seller because of communication after I placed my order mistakenly. The sale was reversed and I was refunded almost immediately, which is just the way it ought to be in a good marketplace with an excellent seller. And that was the case here, but I don't take it for granted! Five stars! Thanks, Aardvark! I'll be back.
