One thing I forgot to mention in my original post is this person is NOT a 
member of the Triumphs list.  At least I don't think so.  I've never seen him 
post a message.

I haven't asked about shipping the fender collect YET but that is something 
I had thought about.  The fact that the money I sent including extra for 
shipping really pisses me off.

I have never had trouble with anyone from the list itself.  Several people 
suggested contacting the post office.  I'll do that when I get home 
thursday.  It also sounds like it probably isn't mail fraud since he didn't 
advertise through the mail and I didn't use a USPS money order.  Something 
I think I will use from now on.
