In Sayeedi v. Walser, 15 Misc 3d 621 (Civ Ct NY 2007) the Court refused to sustain jurisdiction where the plaintiff purchased an automobile engine through an on-line auction sale. The Court noted that the ultimate destination of the auto engine was determined by potential buyers through the bidding process. In other words, the engine could have wound up in any part of the country depending on who bid the most money. The defendant didn't invoke the benefits and protections of New York law by this type of transaction.
