This is the last I'll post on this, because it is pretty pathetic (me included).
The seller told me three days after the purchase, that he'd give me the tracking number, when I asked if it had shipped. He never did. When I saw the package was covered in stamps, I immediately felt like this could be a scam. Shipping with stamps does not give a tracking number, as he told me he had. This is why I felt lied to. Now, maybe his secretary shipped it or something and he assumed there would be one, I'll never know why he told me that. Then when the IPR was pulled out, it was without a screen. The screen was in three pieces inside the bag. That was the icing.
He DID offer a new screen after the fact, so it looks like he would intend to make a bad deal right.
The IPR seems it will also perform doing what I wanted it for.
The IPR was modified and tested this weekend and the results were VERY positive. The intention was to send one back for use by the shop that gave me such a "good deal". This is why I apologized to the other vendor in the thread (which turned out to be his partner) who had offered me a price on a IPR. I wanted to open up communication for the finished product.
I should have taken my newly aquired opinion of the seller as a lesson learned, "silently". He has lots of support on this forum and I'm sure he's a real nice guy. I think I also expected too much from, or thought too highly of the vendors on this forum.
Long story short, I'll take this one on the chin. I handled it wrong.
