anthonya few years ago (when i was an in-experienced ebayer) i agreed to buy a 1934? lou gehrig card for pretty much dirt cheap outside of ebay. i sent a cashier's check for $1k or so, 3-4 weeks go by and no card...and no more emails at all.
feeling ripped off, i filled out a police report that named the guy as a suspect with his name, address, all the emails confirming the deal, etc and stated that since i worked for the largest sheriff department, we will extradite and charge him for grand theft, internet fraud and any other charges we can come up with...i promptly got an email from his wife stating he had died (which i didnt believe) and can we work something out since she did not have any money. she offered me about $1k worth of misc baseball collectibles, cards, signed balls, etc...(nothing worth keeping) which i jumped on since i figured i wouldnt see my $1k ever again.
she did send everything to me as agreed and i sold them on ebay as soon as i got them... i ended up getting about $700 out of it...a $300 loss is better than a $1k loss...
do whatever you can to expose this loser!
