To Richard Malin, Plaxico Burress wasn't a customer, he was an ordeal.
It was 2002 when Burress, then playing for the Steelers, hired Malin, a home inspector, to look over a house he was buying in suburban Pittsburgh.
Malin quoted Burress a price of just under $500 and got the job

He should've turned it down, Malin now says.
When it came time to pay the bill, Burress disappeared. He didn't respond to phone calls or letters. Malin appealed to one of the star's handlers for help, but still no payment. Malin filed a lawsuit, Burress ignored it.

After a judge ruled against the no-show NFL player, he sent Malin a check for $700.
"I got a note from Plaxico saying, 'Sorry for the inconvenience. Please inform the court that the judgment has been paid,' " Malin said.

"Then the check bounced."

What a peach of a guy eh?
