I have read most of this thread, and I'm not trying to blame anyone, but it struck me that I was having a conversation with an AD about 3-4 weeks ago and he brought up this exact scenario as the reason to buy from AD's vs the grey market.
His main point was that once you wire your money, and this happens, the seller has all the rights to pursue any insurance claim, and the buyer has no power to pursue the shipping company, since the buyer did not contract nor pay the shipping source. Often times, the buyer doesn't really get a receipt, with proper serial numbers, etc, making it even harder to pursue.
It just seemed odd to see his scenario so quickly, does this happen often?
