My policy is "Never screw a government, unless it's convenient."

Send the seller a fancy-looking receipt for twice what he claims he paid for
it. You can be anything or anybody that you want to be...that's the joy of
desktop publishing.

"John's Antique & Rare Communications Devices, Inc" sounds catchy and
believable.

When the seller collects, you split the dough, and try again.
