David, let's back up and review. We have learned some important lessons here. To wit:

1) The only thing you did wrong was asking the BATF for their opinion after putting the non-gun up for sale. If you had thought about it in advance, you could have gotten the legalities squared away before putting it up for sale; but . . .

2) Once putting it up for sale, you absolutely did the right thing by contacting the law enforcement agency responsible for regulating the non-gun to make sure you were complying with the law. It would have been better if you had an advocate make the calls on your behalf, but you protected yourself from any possible criminal charges and ongoing hassles by the Gubmint by contacting the feds first;

3) For a real legal opinion, don't count on the enforcement agency - you need an advocate in your corner who can advise you; and

4) FDR initiated the Fair Deal, Truman had the Square Deal, according to Biden health care reform is a Big F'ing Deal. But the PPOT board knows that Jim (Dueller) is the Real F'ing Deal;

When Shawn visits, make him buy all the food and alcohol you can consume in a single sitting, I will pay him back by doing the same to him if he ever returns to Minnesota.
