Default ChopperBob?????

Anyone on here ever bought any parts from a guy using CHOPPERBOB as his user name? Bought a speedometer from him through this forum, paid him within minutes through PAyPal, and haven't received it almost a MONTH later???? He gave me a run around answer a while back about it being returned to sender and he would "ship it out that evening"...that was 8 days ago?? Anyone with any info on this guy?

Thanks..

HDF recommends not comming out on here and dissing a member..
First contact a Mod...Preferable Terry himself.Let him see if he can take care of the issue.
If not there is a chance that he will deal with it in a respectable way...
If all else fails then you can start a thread in the Good/Bad Seller section at the bottom of the Classifieds...

If you used the normal Paypal and not friends and family option, then you are covered to get your money back. Friends and Family is no bueno when buying stuff unless the seller is a good person.

I hear what you are saying and if you read my post, I didn't "dis" anyone..... I merely asked a question trying to obtain info and stated facts..... I have bought and sold hundreds of bike parts on line over the years and have never run into a problem like this..... thanks for the link...

I know everyone wants this done but the forum does warn against it. I only do it if I feel I can afford to lose the money. Know it doesn't help you but hopefully it helps the next guy.
Hope it works out for you.

Thought I would give you all an update on this guy.....after him telling me he shipped the speedo three times, I finally got one, however it's not within a row of A holes for the right bike.... Chopper Bob told me he had one directly out of an '03 Roadking that he replaced with a Dakota Digital one... the one I received isn't even close to the same connectors/harness... I have never had an experience like this with anyone on this forum ever... this sucks... I see he's still posting parts on here...can't imagine why you would let him....

I don't care if you're a member or not, ship in a responsible time. That's BS the OP has to wait like that. PayPal is good for end result but seller needs to step up to the plate and stop being a dick.

Update on this.... "CHOOPERBOB" guy

Now he won't answer any of my messages about what he wants to do with this speedo that isn't the right one.... looks like it was a complete rip off..... so, my initial "beware" advice seems pretty accurate on this guy... Hope this keeps someone else from the same fate with this guy..

Oh... and I sent this info to the Terry that was suggested by another member and never heard anything from him in return......
