I have purchased items from individuals on this and the iBOB list.
Sometimes they send me the item before I have paid and other times I
have paid before I've received the item, and all has worked out.  I'm
a lawyer and deal with scammers, conners, liars, and cheats all the
time, so I'm not a naif, but I also assume that people are honest and
sincere until they prove otherwise, unless they give obvious signs of
mendacity (we all know the difference between a rat and a kitten and
we give the former a wide berth).  It then disturbs me greatly when
they prove me wrong.  I also like to think of the people on these two
lists as some kind of brethren and that there is a code of honor among
us, almost as if participation in these groups somehow filters out the
chaff.  It is therefore disturbing when something like this occurs to
me.  If I were you, I would detail the specific facts of the
transaction on this site, email it to the person, and invite him to
make things right.  I would assume and hope that there is a good
explanation for his failure to respond.  If he does not, then post
it.  Strange things happen all the time and he may have a plausible
explanation - he may be on sabbatical or in the hospital.  Or, he may
just be a little f*****g creep who should be outed to protect the rest
of us.  If, indeed, he is a conner, we can at least take comfort in
the fact that he is the exception that proves the rule.
