With anything substantial, I always send with Delivery Confirmation, and request a Tracking Number when buying...not foolproof but usually enough to dissuade those of less than stellar character.

Sorry I know how you feel I sent a set of heads out to someone on VTF a year ago and all I got was a bad check. Fished around on the internet and this guy had a track record for burning people. He never

Thats Bullshit man. I've gotten ripped off too and it sucks, especially off a forum that has some stand up people in it. But you know what? thers always a bad apple in a barrel full of good ones. I say we send him a bunch of PMs and ask him to at least respond to you or give you an answer of what may have happened. He's a stupid *** if he rips someone off in these forums because everybody will know about it and call him on his ****....... I think I'll go over there and PM him. I've got your back man.

I tried to phone tried messages.
He didnt use paypal.
Im not calling him out or being unfair.
This guy had plenty of chances to contact me.
I did my part.
I have a good rep here and bought many things from others in HDF.
I just dont understand if we are all adults why this petty crap happens.
Just my opinion.
I just thought id warn you all.
As for others who got their parts from him im happy for you.
It just makes us Honest guys that much more cautious now.

It sucks, yes. Posting a thread like this only allows you to release some steam but does no real good. There is a Forum over in Classifieds that is the proper place to announce to other members your good or bad experiences buying/selling here on hdf. That will do more good. Still might not get you satisfaction tho.
And to all offering to go see this guy face to face....remember you really have no idea who or what you are dealing with.

sorry about the ordeal. By posting on these forums it allows the moderator to be aware of his actions, he'll end up banned probably. So that is good If indeed he ripped you off.

Better to talk to a mod or admin privately first rather than doing so publicly. There's alot more to all of this rather than 'he said/she said' type stuff. Best to run it by one of the chiefs here first.

I'll slap him for you, for a small fee of course, Is sad when that happens.
I sold pair of shocks, guy said he received empty box, I was hesitant at first, them I called his local Post office, and they confirmed that they delivered an empty box, can you believed that US post office delivered a ripped open empty box, anyway I refunded his money.
