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.
