Amazing. Thanks for the reply.

Just goes to show that regardless the reputation of an auction house you might better take measurements with a grain of salt.

It worked out for you, but if it had been the other way 'round and the measurements had NOT been to my advantage I would be faced with the task of convincing them they should take it back, and cover the return shipping. Good luck with that.

Yet another caveat to buying anything sight unseen, unless you have an ironclad return guarantee.

May God bless America and those who defend her.
