well see Philly



Carol is right -- that doesn't wash because when Florence got back to me, she said the opposite. This is copied directly from her email to me. It contains the info she needed in order to do the wire transfer (even though it's not listed here, they also needed the bank's ABA # for wire transfer, which I sent her in a follow-up email):

We received the wire transfer a couple of days later. It was 500 euros, which translated (at the time) into $584.95 USD. Our bank charged us $16 for the wire transfer. BTW, we paid our initial deposit via credit card.
