If that woman won this item you should have explained your situation and sent it to her as soon as you can get out. This happens to me here in the mountains of MT and people are usually willing to wait for a win, especially if it's gold.
No, I did not lose my credits and be honest, I waited 5 extra days, asked if it had been shipped and never heard another peep from you, so you could have communicated, you wasted my time and tied up my credits.
