Don't want to give the name of the bad check guy until I give the ebay dealer a chance to settle with me. I want to stress I don't want to embarrass or sound like I'm accusing them of any wrong doing. The bad check guy provided his drivers license with his real name, three credit cards with the same name. I took down his license plate number off his car. He had an amazing knowledge of everything comic related. Haggled price with me for 45 minutes. Only picked out 10,12, and 15cent books. No Disney or funny animal. Went through about 8,000 books to pick out what he wanted. 4 long boxed and 2 short packed tight. Seemed at the time that if he was writing a bad check he would have taken everything and not haggled price just to get in and out quickly. He was there over two hours.
Cop that took my report said he had many warrants for the same thing from New York to Florida and all the way to Colorado and Texas. Professional criminal. They also told me he has a violent record and I was lucky I didn't try to back out of the deal.
He didn't care about using his real name. He even posted on craigslist selling stolen items using his real name and phone number. Maybe that's how he got busted don't know but he is in jail now with $100,000.00 bail. I think they told me there are 14 other jurisdictions waiting to get to him if he ever gets out. Hope you understand my reasons for keeping names quiet for now.
