From PM's received it seems this guy is not a virgin at not paying for things he gets. In this case he told me he had sent payment. When the FedEx express envelope arrived one edge had been cut open and resealed with tape. Needless to say the envelope was empty. On calling him he responded that he would get a check right out. Never heard from him again.
So, once again, no matter how much you would like to place your faith in the good will of others... beware.
Still looking for someone that is in contact with this guy.
