NO NEGATIVE POSTS ALLOWED!!! This would mean that if the part looks like crap, or their asking price is too high, or things of that nature.

I'm not sure why this was allowed to go on for as long as it did and why the OP was basically bullied into not trying to sell it. He got a great deal, put some work and money into it. Didn't like it so he tried to resell it. Who cares what you did for him. If I was in the market for the nose and I found it reasonable I would have bought it without a concern for your "loss." You don't like it tough, deal with it privately and personally.
