This guy gave us his driver's license, and two "references" that we did call and check out before accepting his check. This guy is a smooth talker and had all the right information, he even talked of how he sold the stuff - some sold on Ebay, some went in his "storefront", and some he just keeps for himself. He even talked of making the trip back for our next sale, and doing business with us in the future. We had NO reason to believe this man was going to be an issue.
After the fact, we tried to google his name and came up with an unrelated arrest a few years ago, and decided to try to dig a little deeper. We found a really old post on this site about a gentleman that had a problem with someone by the same name. That issue wound up being resolved and Rolex1 apologized, said he was in an accident, and made good on his 1/2 of the deal. That was why I decided to try the original posting, thinking I could warn potential customers, and maybe even perhaps get the guy to make good on his payment.
