He's in "Larchmont, New York, United States" apparently.

I won an auction but he's disappeared after the first copntact. I haven't paid anything... so no biggie, but was looking forward to getting the 924 items from him...

Cheers,

I'd be nervous too.
On the other hand, maybe he's just fallen asleep for a very long time.
Similarly, be leary of anyone named Mad[e]off.
-And watch out for dentists named "Paine", or "Pullman".
-Or for that matter, urologists named Pullman; proctologists named "Fingers"; gastroenterologists named "Rip", surgeons named "Slaughter", etc.

I thought 924 drivers didn't worry much about names

Definitely no affiliation or vote of confidence, but I purchased a copy of the Service Information Manual for the 81 Model from this individual a few weeks back. The item got to me as described, but shipping was really slow and communication was basically nonexistent. To his/her credit the auction I was involved in stated that they would ship sometime within 15 days after payment was received and that was about the case. Hope this helps.

Thanks Greg. He sent me an original invoice, but it was wrong - been chasing a new one ever since with no reply...

Just worried he'll eventually file a complaint against me for non-payment...

You can always file a non conforming seller.
As long as you have mail to prove you asked for a total you should be ok.
