George,
I think the gripe is with the seller and the way he handled it. He listed "for sale", for 5K, then started entertaining bids and selling for a higher price. I know what I paid for my 45 and I think you got a great deal. "Offering" to pay for it was one thing, but "paying" for it is another, good for you on the latter.
Now get busy on this thing and post up some pics of your progress!!
