Just want to add that I'm the friend being mentioned :P
I know that snuzzle and I had started emailing/pm'ing the seller at pretty much the same time. My original message clearly stated what items I wanted and she was agreeing to sell them all to me. I had pm'ed babysnuzzle to ask her about pricing for one of the items and also to find out what she had been buying since I noticed that she had pm'ed the seller as well. Come to find out that we were both being promised the same item. It may just have been a misunderstanding or miscommunication problem, but I think we'd both feel better knowing about past transactions before we progress any further with this seller.
Thanks everyone for your input
