It was auction # 4584841217. As you can see, there isn't exactly a huge sum of $ involved. If there had been, yes, no tickey no laundry indeed-- unless I'd dealt with the person before, or he was at 100%-- and a separate trip down to FedEx would've happened-- assuming he WOULD have eventually paid if nothing had shown up yet... I do try to ship out right away to established 100% bidders though (which HE wasn't, but...), if I'm in the FedEx area anyway, to compensate for the fact I don't take PayPal. PY member 6T5 Cat for example, recently won an auction from me and with his 100% fb rating of over 400 I never gave it a second thought shipping his item out right away. Still, pursuing my fenderwell nightmare as a deterrent to other like-minded crooks does make sense. Take the NY State Dept of Taxation & Finance, for example, the equivalent of the IRS on steroids plus the Khmer Rouge squared: they wouldn't hesitate for a second to spend millions of dollars on an investigation if they think they're being screwed out of dozens of dollars.
