I can only think of it happening to me one other time.
A Les Diaboliques from citizenlime3rd.
Package arrived (supposedly having been interfered with the French
Postal Service) but with a slit cut at the end that was too small to
have removed the poster through.
Won that one at a very good price, and the Joe Coleman style Henry I
won at a ridiculous $27.56.
Being philosophical about it, I could have paid far more for the non-
existent poster that had already been bought by Helmut.
Perhaps the odds of a poster getting lost in the post rise in relation
to how much you've paid below the perceived value.

final card to make a straight flush to beat them) they would tend to

Non-mathematical types would say, "50/50, because there were two
possibilities, either that it happened or that it didn't".
I have sent TENS OF THOUSANDS of packages outside the U.S. and
99.99% of them all arrived safely. This individual sent TWO, and
both went missing.
What's the odds of that happening?

Now that name Al Shevy rang a bell to me, and I checked in my
older email folder:
In September 2005 in bought posters from him on ebay (his ID back
then: coolstuff159 ) for
$292,74
And never received anything! Unfortunately it was too late to file
a paypal claim, or even leave neg. feedback I think.
He first told me can’t take paypal (wonder why) and 3 weeks later
he said I could pay with paypal now, which I did then (I think he
only had 1-2 negative feedbacks) I never received anything then,
and only got one reply from him about when and how they were sent,
saying sth like: ‘I took them to the post office’
Included was a Henry artwork style, Pulp Fiction Quad, Lost
highway 1sh.
So Al, you still owe me $292,74 or these or other posters. How’s
that?

Betreff: Re: [MOPO] Memories of MoPo Past
I can shed a little bit of light ...
Al Shevy is a guy who sold posters on eeebay several years ago, I
was the winning bidder on a particular auction and paid promptly
via Paypal. Poster never posted despite several messages back and
forth, several deadlines ignored / missed, Paypal refunded most of
the $$$.
Al Shevy provided a valuable lesson ... and it only cost me less
than $40
I'm sure he must be a nice guy to some people, probably a great
family man as well, but with online business dealings ... he is
just a low-rent, mouth breathing, jack leg, butthead, suck-egg
country mule geechie, bless his evil 'lil heart. I was once
consumed that this cretin thought he was going to get away without
paying up, then I realised it was small poop from smaller poop.
Now ... I wouldn't spend the time or money to buy salt ... to pour
on the slug. I feel somewhat used by wasting this time to type out
this message, but hey, what's done ... is done.
BTW ... smoochies, Al ... miss you ...

I've been in this hobby for almost 30 years. Will someone please
tell me....
Who the hell is Al Shevy?
I can't believe for almost 30 years I've never had the please
of meeting or hearing of such a warm and wonderful man!
