So heres the story I put a want add for a newton 2100 about a month ago and no replies. Just two weeks ago a guy mails me trying to sell me his newt, great deal 16mb card, and disk, and manuals, and the oriinal newton 2100 I offer 160 and a hardware trade, my old 30gig firewire drive, I mail my stuff out and he takes the money. I have waited and waited no newt, next thing i know he killed his email address. All I have is his home address. What would you do?

Sorry, man. I just bought my first newton, a 2100, off of eBay. No problems whatsoever

Send him a letter, or look him up at http://superpages.com
Some people just take a while to get stuff shipped off. I hope this is the case you. It's been two weeks you say? I've waited a lot longer than that sometimes.
Ask him what the status is and request that he ship the item ASAP. If that doesn't work after two more weeks, then I don't know what to say.
Sometimes eBay is great. Like when stuff like this happens. You've got a little backup..

You should have gotten ALL of his personal info before you shipped anything. This includes a phone number (that you should have called at a random time to see if it works and he answers). You can never be too sure these days. www.powerbookcentral.com had an article up the other day about a powerbook selling scam running from Romania. Also, depending on what his email address is, you might be able to track him down if he never contacts you. Say it was johnny@aol.com, then the police should be able to get the needed info out of AOL. Hope everything works out for you.

Call his local PD, and report the theft. You know his name and address, and that's all they need to pay him a visit. Ask the detective you'll talk to to give the fellow your phone number. They should explain that if things aren't made right, they'll pay another visit. Have all of the correspondense prepared to fax to the PD.
