About the Author

Preface

This story if one in a series of fictional narratives of activities related to purchases on the Internet. Of course, there are many true stories that begin with an ecommerce sale. Most people who buy or sell on the internet encounter events they did not expect. Either there is an upset in the purchase, something happens in the delivery, or the object traded is not what the buyer thought he was buying. With goodwill and perseverance most of the misunderstandings can be resolved. Like any transaction at a distance, there is this chance for miscommunication. Sometimes the most interesting events occur when the buyer starts examining and using the item purchased, for better or worse.
