Damn, that sucks that you couldn't add that Exquisite to your awesome collection!! This might annoy you, but I think seems like a pretty fair price for both the buyer and seller. I know you were thinking that you would have overpaid at that price, but there seems to be a premium on Exquisite of 1's. Anything under would be a steal. This is just my opinion, and I could be wrong. I am definitely not as knowledgeable as most of the collectors here. In any case, the seller is definitely not getting so maybe if you wait him out you'll get it for much less later...
