Nonpaying bidder?

I was just looking at my auctions, and I came across a bid I am very suspicious of. It seems the guy is bidding on all of my Wolf ammo. He is NR, and I am wondering if he will seriously pay for it, or even respond to my emails. Have not had a nonpaying bidder for a while, but I have had many in the past, most being NR. The total amount he will pay is $250, and I really doubt it is going to happen. I would like things to work out, but I am not sure at the moment, especially when I did a search and a lot of sellers have the same ammo for cheaper. Seems he choose my most expensive auction, due to the large quantity. Have about 8 hours left on it, so we will see how it turns out.

  I was nervous about NR's but I remember I was one of those at one time. I've done OK with them on several rifles. [8D]

  It's just weird because most people buy 1-5 boxes of ammo at a time. This time it is the whole 50.

  ...I think I would wait to "worry"...until he actually does not pay; as of now your just worrying over something that "might" happen.
  
  Ive bought several "higher priced" guns from NR sellers...of course I always call and talk to them on the phone before bidding...to get a "feel" about them, never a problem.
  
  ...As another auction site requires phone numbers to be listed with the auction ( A GOOD THING!) so should GB..."talking" w/someone can tell you a lot, vs an em...[^]

  Give him the benefit of the doubt, don't worry until he actually doesn't pay up.

  Well, the auction ended and I boxed up the ammo and took care of business on my end. About an hour ago the winner calls me and we discuss it. I was taken aback, because buyers normally email rather than call, but it sounds like he will go through with it. Payment should arrive next week. If all goes well I told him I will include a free box of ammo for him to try, since shipping is high. Hope this does work out well. Guess I was mistaken, but will see next week.

  Use his IP address to track his location, then go there and beat what he owes you out of him and give him nothing.
