Come on, I know you said that this happened at the same time of the unusual, but it just shows little to no market sense in you, you shouldn't use a grey market unless it's well established like [REDACTED] and [REDACTED]. It almost always ends with scamming.
It's like going up to a shady back alley and finding a disheveled, crazy-eyed man willing to give you a heart transplant and giving you £30 for it, finding a stack of bodies covered in an ill-fitting, smeared tarp with a sign written in semen that says "NO REFUNDS NO TAKEBACKS" stapled to it. That's what it's like going grey/black market in unorganised territory.
