Okay - here goes... I was the one that sent the message. If you look at Tony's original post it appears that he is ONLY selling the mallet. why in the world would anyone offer that low on a book? Not even I, the most (in)famous member here would do something that dumb. I have pretty much rebuilt my reputation here with some solid deals (the most recent being the DT Set Acquisition from Dive). I sent Tony a second message as soon as he posted here, apologizing but also saying that his listing wasn't clear, and that his "LOL" response was hardly appropriate. He then updated the listing to include the clarification. At no point did he handle anything with me privately, but instead flamed me here. Oh well, shoulda learned.
I Apologized to Tony privately about my outburst but also, as Tippy pointed to, I got pissed.
I for one am totally shocked by this revelation, and never suspected this for a moment!

You know, re-reading the PM conversation between the two, it's kind of obvious (now) that he's talking about the bone mallet.
Miscommunications abound, we've all done it. Well, not me per se, but ... all you guys.
Tony's post said "I've got a copy of Subpress' NOS4A2 S/L for sale that comes with the bone mallet that was made just for the lettered edition". What's unclear about that???
I think kingfan's response was kinda jerky (I have received the "If you don't take my offer then you are a complete moron" kind of PM before), but I also misread the initial post and thought that only the hammer was being offered for sale.
I too thought that only the hook was being offered.
I only responded jerkily because i received the great "LOL" response.

The ever vigilant (and never forgetting a harm) Randall Flagg just got off the phone with stevohump. I don't think he was expecting my call (he answered). After identifying myself as being from TheDarkTower.org, I asked him when he was going to reimburse our members; he stuttered, hemmed, hawed and then said "I thought Paypal took care of all that".
I informed him that since all of the payments were sent as gift form no one was reimbursed. I told him that as a group we are so upset that we are going to pay for one of the "injured" members to fly down to his county and file a report with the Sheriff and perhaps pay him a visit to discuss the matter in person.
I asked if he would come on the site and explain himself. He said he would "tomorrow".
Normally I wouldn't do this, but since it is all a matter of public record, here is stevohump's personal info:
