Well - that's just it - the OP didn't get burned - he received the Magneto installation. He just didn't get the skinning completed. I believe the 2nd post of this thread was on point - installing and skinning for $75 is a ridiculously low price - so the OP paid a bit high for the installation is all. Again (as I said in my post) -- Communication is key when dealing with online consultation/freelance. Obviously there was some communication error... Demanding that someone do work THEN be paid for it is not a reasonable solution to the communication error - But if you can find someone to do hundreds of dollars of work for you without a nominal deposit = good for you

At anyrate ==> Yes - I agree - chalk it up to a lesson learned.

I will also add - The OP stated something about having received quotes to install AND skin Magneto for $75 --- 1 last suggestion: Beware of what I like to call "Lowest Price Assassins" --- The recommendations/suggestions I listed in my post still stand
