Texas, Let me tell you about myself I have a auto repair business & paint/body shop with a performance retail outlet.I own the building and have been in the same location for 23 years.
I was getting real good at selling on ebay & customers were leaving items for me to try and sell for them on a commission.
I had a man well dresses who said he heard that I sold items for a commission and he wanted me to try and sell some overstock items and discontinued items.
He brought two handy cap scooters and some brochures to look at. I proceeded to sell them on ebay and shipped them.The scooters were in a factory sealed box with the warranty cards and instruction sheets.He brought several different types to sell and even some of the his lift chairs in different colors.The lift chairs didn't sell very good and he would change the colors out and some would have different options heater/massage.He would come by in about two/three weeks and pick up some Items and deliver different type scooters and chairs and I would pay him than.He knew what they sold for as it was easy to see on ebay.I would some times make something on the shipping & handling that was all mine. Police came to my shop one day and took all the scooters and lift chairs.There was No arrest.
A month later they came with pictures for me to identify him,I could not.Now 9/3/05 I have a regular letter mailed to me to appear if I want to a grand jury hearing with pending charges of THEFT of Over 20,000/receiving and concealing on 9/08/05. I was not try to conceal anything when I listed them on ebay with my business address. I even gave potential buyers the mfg web site links. I had shown on my listing I was also not a dealer. Since this a holiday weekend contacting a lawyer and getting in short notice might be a problem.Do I go even though the letter was not registered? What will become of this?
