I guess the $17.29 they kept was their profit on an item they really did not sell.
Now they can do the same to next custo...

STEAM BUDDY FALSE ADVERTISING Arcadia california
I began to order Steam Buddy on line. The seller - Buystemabuddy.com -offers a free pants creaser. However , there is an additional shipping charge of $10 for the creaser, whether you want one or not. So it is not free at all.
This is a trick, a ruse to get more of your money!...
