Richard,
You moron. Helping people out is a two-way street. It is give and take. Not just take. Part of the give is to honor your commitments.
So how am I helping out? Well, I am trying to save the next poor sap from having to deal with you and you flakey financial ways. You told me several times the money was on its way and I believed you. Of course, no money ever came.
Its not about the money or the Non-Paying Bidder record. Its about the fact that you are a liar and people need to stay away from you.
BTW - I have been a regular contributor to this board for quite a while and I think I know how things work around here.
