   One thing I forgot to mention...   
      
   I had also e-mailed him and offered to pay an additional $5 to cover the   
   shipping of the parts manual to me.  His only answer was that it was not   
   necessary and still told me to return everything for a refund.  So, even if   
   someone offers a few bucks to cover shipping costs, due to HIS error, he   
   will still be rude about it.
