Alright, I finally heard back from Chris. I'm gonna send a PM over to Rob (Beers) in the next few days and tell him what steps he needs to take if he decides to pursue this. Anyone else who has been (NOT almost was) ripped off by arafat209, whether here or on eBay, please feel free to PM me and I'll send the information to you too.
I don't mind doing the leg work for you guys over here in NJ, but since I personally don't have a case against him, it's up to those of you that actually got ripped off by him to get the ball rolling.
Tom
