Did anyone get a chance to look at these pics yet? I'm still waiting to
hear back from the seller as well, but I'm surprised no one on here has
chimed in yet. I just want to make sure I'm not looking at it wrong or
something. I don't want to raise a stink then realize down the road that
I'm just crazy or stupid. :P
