Oh. Alan, I do know the meaning, having been in a number of flash mob conceptual pieces, but couldn't see how that would help...when I get angry, I do tend to go a bit literal on people, so, sorry Sheena...

Not having a clue about Canadian law, but suspecting there is some similarity between the two countries, it might be possible to seek out the Candaian provincial attorney generals office, the States equivalent. You might be able to pursue him through their deceptive trade/fraud violations. Since it was a 'private sale' it may not be possible, but at the very least you might be able to seek some help, without any cost to you.

Remember, any inappropriate activity would actually give him the right to pursue action against that person, resulting in quite the opposite of what's intended.
We don't want forum members to suffer any more from this lowlife.
We do want him to realize that there are repercussions when ripping off honest people.

Yeah, OK. I just spoke to his brother on the phone...he owns a pawnshop. Why am I not surprised???
I will continue to call his brother regularly until I hear from him.
I requested his phone contact from eBay twice to no avail. But there's gotta be a way, folks.

You might want to at least give this a look, Paul.

Thanks very much, Stan. I have filed an official complaint.

So Paul, does this incident mean that you're the victim of organized crime?
I am so sorry to hear about this misfortune! It does seem that somebody is being less than honest.... I hope it works out in your favor!

They actually ask on the RECOL website if I believe this was done by "organized crime", Melissa...it was tempting to say yes, but I refrained...

Oh, I didn't mean literally, Paul! I guess the pun was so bad it even passed by YOU!

It did not pass me by. Read my response again (above)! I'm going to pull out all the stops on this one. (Organ-related euphemism...)

Hope it works out for you, Paul. I used the AG's office one time on a local level, and it paid off. It was slow, but it paid off.

Paul, I hope you're able to see this resolved promptly and with minimal effort.
However, I do have relatives in southern Saskatchewan (was just up there in April), and plan to be there again before year's end. As I trade police patches, I sometimes have dealings with law enforcement agencies. I guess there is the slightest chance that, with proper documentation, I might be able to persuade an officer to stop by for a minute and ask the "seller" why he hasn't refunded your money (they wouldn't have authority to do much else). It's a longshot, but sometimes the stars align, my karma is good, and I have the correct haircut. (Some neato patches help too!). Sounds ridiculous, but even I have been surprised at the offers extended to me by officers in Germany and Canada.
I'll let you know if I'm able to make that trip.
