TBobWhile I simmer over getting bilked out of a $30 transaction, things could be worse:
Ohio State fan Alan Pressman paid $4,162 for eight tickets to the Fiesta Bowl after his Internet bid was accepted.
But when the Columbus (Ohio) businessman and seven relatives arrived in Tempe, Ariz., to see the Buckeyes play Miami for the national championship, the tickets never materialized.
An arrest warrant was issued last week for Salt Lake City resident Mark Beaver, who was charged with bilking dozens of fans on tickets offered through eBay.
Pressman, who owns a company that supplies prisons with footwear and clothing for inmates, is working on getting reimbursed. "I hope [Beaver] ends up being one of my customers," he said.
