Many thanks to a friend (you know who you are) 
for urging me to post about this.

Mary Walker purchased a cel set from me on 
November 22nd.  In my auction I stated that I 
must have payment within 10 days of auction end, 
unless you have made arrangements with me 
beforehand.  

Two days after auction close, Mary emails me to 
tell me she will have payment to me no later than 
this Friday.  

On this Friday, she then tells me that her mother 
has been in a car accident, and that her computer 
is now on the fritz.  

Now.... I'm not heartless, but having been in 
dire emergencies where my father has had a 
stroke, where I've been in a car accident, I can 
only remember ONE time *which is on my ebay 
record* that I was unable to pay for an auction, 
thus resulting in negative feedback from a car 
accident I was in and sustained some injuries 
from.  

In the cases where I had family emergencies, i 
was still able to pay for auctions ON TIME.  You 
do not call up credit card agencies or other 
bills (gas/electric) to tell them you cannot pay 
for their services on time and expect them to 
say "oh sure, no problem, we wont cut off your 
power".   

After some thought, if Mary is watching this 
post, Mary, I'm sorry but I will not be selling 
you the cel set, and I will be banning you from 
any of my further auctions.
