The first quote above is the OP asking if the OP should pursue the transaction further. The next quotes are all folks saying yes, and this is just a sample from the first page...there are many more. You're right in that they aren't saying he should get it for free. They are saying he should get it for $3. The focus later shifted to filing a complaint instead, but these (and the others) are the posts I was referring to.
You're really reading a lot into those quotes. Either way, the seller should have handled it better and more professionally and it would've been a moot point.
