A package that was more valuable than what the person actually bought got misdirected to them. I can't get the person's contact information because the transaction was done on Half.com (you don't get email addresses), now the person is NARU at Ebay. I can send a letter to their address but what kind of threats can I make that will get them to send back the item or the money?

None, zilch, zip, matter of fact, that if you send anything that looks like a threat can get you booted from ebay.[half. com]
You can try to write them and explain the mistake and hope that they will understand, but I would not hold my breath over this one.
Your screw up so you will have to eat this mistake.

If the person was honest they would send it back. If you have their name and address then look it up in the white pages at Yahoo and then call them or write them. I would think that might be the only way or another way is if you go into their user ID to see if they are a seller and any of their old auctions are showing try and send an email through ask the seller a question. Good Luck

Nicely and very politely ask the person to send the item back to you. You have their address so shoot off an envelope with more than adequate postage. Send the correct item to the NARU'd buyer and hope for the best. I've had this happen from time to time and a polite request has always gotten the desired result. I'm truly overdue for a royal FU one of these days but people usually respond to this approach.
