I had member willvabch (Will Abplanalp, 3205 Monet Dr, Virgina Beach, VA 23453) contact me by PM on 5/2/14 about buying some pewter ingots. Later that day he said he should get the MO sent the next day. On 5/5/14 I sent his order and another member's prior to receiving payment for either. I know this is not standard procedure but I do this often and have never had a problem till now. I feel the trust thing has to go both ways. Anyway, I didn't see anything from Will for the next couple of days so I checked USPS tracking and saw that the package was delivered on 5/7/14. Will hasn't had any activity on the site since 5/5/14 when I sent him tracking info (9114 9011 5981 8107 3895 28). I contacted 2 other members Will had recent dealings with him, 45coltnut and Teddy (punchie). 45coltnut said his deal was above average and went without a hitch. Their deal was just prior to mine. Teddy's deal has still not been completed because of Will's non-payment. Teddy did not send the item to Will in advance of payment. Teddy and I have monitored Will's activity and seen none. I believe Teddy is going to repost his mold for sale and is out nothing but time. I am out a small amount and expect no recovery. It is totally on me. I want to believe that Will has a situation that has demanded his attention and we are way down the priority list. But I don't want another Calvarymedic situation to occur. Will may start a new user name or try something as a guest. Because this may be the case, I wanted to make you aware. I don't know admin's capability but I have to watch out for others if I know they may be bite. This has little effect on my trust of our fellow members. Thanks for your time and work to keep our site up and running. Jim/jsizemore
