I have regrets too. I spent considerable time and money to package the two transmissions and one differential in coolers and ship them to someone who was needing parts. It was a charity effort. I didn't ask for any money from him, and he said he was broke and couldn't pay me anything at that time, but made a vague promise about sending me some money sometime. I didn't care about the money.
Never heard back from him--not even a "thank you" or a confirmation that the parts arrived. Crickets.
I don't really subscribe to the idea of Karma, but I do believe good deeds make the world a better place for everyone.

That's fucked up because I contated you like a day late (my luck) and you had already (or were in the process) of 'selling' them. not only was I willing to pay, you were willing to ship which is rare.
I hope the asshole's van burns to the ground.

Did you overlook/ignore the update?:

I wanted to followup that the person I sent my last Vanagon auto transaxle to eventually did surface and communicate with me and send me money for the transaxle. That was a nice gesture that deserves recognition. The world is still a good place.
