Rich does not have to come up with anything. The probation list is chock full of people who just don't get it, or how this board works.
The concept in the buying and selling forums is pretty simple. You buy and item, you pay for it. That's it. If you can't afford it, don't buy it, or work something out with the seller before you commit. That means contacting him BEFORE you purchase.
Many of us have bought items on time payments. We contact the seller BEFORE and work out the details to the SELLERS satisfaction, not after.
I would like to think this is still a close knit community aside from all the hot air. There's a ton of reputable, honest, trustworthy people all over this place. They have a reputation. It means something to them, and to the people they deal with.
I don't know Rich Henn and won't speak for him. I've never done business with him either, but I would without question because he has a reputation around here and backs it up. I would like to think people who don't know me will deal with me the same way.
You need to drop this and let it go. The hole keeps getting deeper. Let the man cool down and see what happens. It's his call and all the belly aching in the world won't change the present.
