Unsolicited feedback on recent board transaction

Was debating putting this here or in the PM forum.
Anyways.....
Many know me here. Been here for 20+ years now. Have had small, and large, interactions for buying and selling here. Have met, in person, many members and dealers here.
I've been here to see good deals and to see scammers. Some scammers were new people, some were established members/dealers.
Recently, I had posted I was contacting some major bullion dealers to see what they would offer on some things I was selling for a relative who had her husband pass away a couple of years ago after he had purchased them (gold items).
This was a new member. Like, brand new. No real posts. The deal was ~$10,000.
He could ask people about me but there was no one to ask about him. All I could do was due diligence. He checked on me. And I felt things out myself. I don't think I'm a blind dummy, so I think I did ok.
Anyways, some things happened in my personal life that delayed me by a few days shipping. I kept him in the loop and, when shipped, registered, gave the info. That was middle of last week. Item was received by him today and he immediately let me know.
So, I view this as a very good transaction by a new member who was upfront with me and we kept in touch all the way through. Initially view PMs, then via texts.
Payment was normal paypal, at his request, so he felt more comfortable. Shipment was registered, at my request so we would both feel comfortable (again, $10k level).
So, just wanted to call out @triplelake and thank him publicly for being a good, even though new 
, member to deal with.
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

Always nice to hear about a positive transaction between board members, especially with a newbie. Thanks for posting about it!

Really appreciate the kind words! You were great to work with, and I’m grateful for how smoothly everything went, even with the unexpected delays. Looking forward to being part of the community. Thanks again!
Nice!
New members deserve a chance too, everyone was there once.
I thought this was going to go sideways and was pleasantly surprised to see it was a favorable and positive transaction for both parties.
Great to read good news.

I said some nice things about you, @Bochiman, so thanks for not screwing it up for me
