>The seller is sending it parcel post - wouldn't budge on her disclaimer, and, since the brace had, for some reason, not attracted much attention and gone for a little below average, I decided not to push it.

Today, I received a tape measure in the mail from the sender, one of those giveaway tapes with a company insignia, in this case "The Petroleum Iron Works Company, Sharon, Pennsylvania." Very ornate circular metal case, push button return in the middle of the case. A nice lagniappe.

Ironically, she paid more in postage than I'd have been willing to accept in reduced postage on the original purchase.
