Well.... The person posted a list of Mosaic boxes that she was selling on the BNBB and one of them was the AH box which had *just* gone OOP like a week before. I sent her an email, we agreed on a price($150), and I sent her a check that day for that amount. 3 months later and many, MANY emails she finally sent the box. It was pretty bad. First she emailed me to say that she had sent it and she gave me a tracking #, which turned out to be bogus. Then she switched her story saying that she was sick and would send it the next week,"post haste" when she got better. Then she said she was too busy because she was trying to finish her disseration and couldn't spare the time to head down to the post office, blah, blah, blah. Actually, I was getting nowhere(and had pretty much given up hope of ever seeing the box or my money) until one of the other BNBB members*(who is a attorney) sent her a letter threatening legal action. I think he had bought one of the other boxes and had some trouble completing the transaction too. I should have known better because she had just joined the board. But I was DESPERATE. Those AH Mosaics were fetching over $200 at the time on Ebay. Lesson learned.
* not sure if he wants his name used.
