Not to UPS!  Actually, remembering back now, *my* shipment was 
prepaid by the seller, too!  That's the other reason why I was so p*ssed 
off about the brokerage fee.  And, when I complained, the lady at UPS 
just said, "Don't pay the brokerage fee....  we'll just sell your $100 
camera and give you what's leftover!"

I *do* hope it works out for you!  Sounds like the seller is honest and 
will make it right?  Hopefully so!  At least *you* didn't get a lecture 
about how L**c*/N*k*n owners have "discerning eyes," and Olympus 
owners are idiots for being picky about fungus-farm lenses!

Regards,

Chris
