I got my Wii....sorta

Today I was talking to my boss and she said that she had seen Wiis at Blockbuster which she thought was a funny place to see them. She said she didn't tell me because I had already ordered one on ebay. Fast forward 4 hours and I get an email saying that I got a refund from ebay because the seller didn't actually have the item that they sold to me. NICE. So, I think, hmmm, maybe I should call blockbuster on my way home (well, on the way to get my nails done but you get the point). They had a Wii!! YAY. They said they would hold it for me! Double YAY. I get another email while getting my nails done saying that there is a dispute on my transaction and that the seller claimed I didn't pay...REALLY. I paid within 5 minutes of the auction ending and he already refunded me my money....how does that equate me not paying. I was on my bb and it was hard to respond so I waited until after the nails and then I got another message from the seller saying that he was sorry and that he had tried to say that we both agreed to cancel the transaction (which isn't true but not like I had a choice). Rewind back to me getting to Blockbuster..they had the Wii and they saved it for me and I asked them if they also had the Wii Fit and they said yes...SCORE. I got both for the same price as the ebay deal but minus the shipping so I came out ahead :-) I now want to set up my Wii but I need to do some editing first and submit my photography contest photos. I can't wait though. Also, as a side note, both the Wii and the Wii Fit were in the back room at Blockbuster so had I not asked for it I wouldn't have known it was there...just in case any of you are looking for one or anything.
