I that's how I feel superficially. But what if had replaced the hammers
w/ s/f and he had an old set around and exchanged parts. I put money into
the project to be delivered and out of avarice the dealer cheapens my efforts.
So now he not only makes a handsome profit with my consignment but now
has brand new parts for his disposal.
Is that not breaking the spirit of the deal?

True , it is only a bench, but that is 10% of what I made on the piano where
he made more than double that and still has the bench to sell for greater
financial gain. It just makes for bad business dealings.
