Not being a dick, but why didn't anyone help me? All I got was a message from a mod arguing with me about whether or not my post was threatening. I never got one red cent out of the dirtbag that ripped me off.

Probably for the same reason JoelRS is still going on about it: I require PM or email proof, then I can look into it. If you say "so and so ripped me off" without providing any proof or following up, I can't do anything.

On August 15th, 2009 I worked out a deal with member Less10. I was trading him brand new STRI EGT and Oil Press gauges and a used STRI DSD SLM Boost gauge (I had them listed for a total of $225 on the Market Place) + $35 (to cover shipping costs for the dash). Less10 was supposed to send me a dash pad. I sent him the $35 on google checkout on August 19th. He finally claimed to have shipped the dash pad through Grey Hound almost 2 weeks later on August 31st. The gauges I sent him arrived around August 20th. It is now October 6th and I still do not have my dash pad. I have received excuse after excuse from this guy about why it isn't here, lost in Arizona, my Mom is sick, package is too big, etc, etc.... Today I asked him to just pay me for the gauges that he has had for two months and refund the $35 I gave him for shipping for a total of $260 which was the original amount we agreed upon. He refuses saying I am out of my mind asking for that much.
Bottom line: Less10 is a liar. Do not do business with him. I have also been contacted by another member who was scammed by this guy for a stroker kit on Ebay, maybe he will share his story with Less10 as well.

thats sucks pete man sorry to hear what you went thru. I allways go somewhere and see what im getting, and make a point to show what ive got because thats the only way to do buisness. Even if you have to fly, just do it and make one big trip because its well worth being able to be present when making a deal.... sorry ebay. but craigslist and forums give you a chance to exchange information and meet up in person!!!!

I tried buying a lip off of silverguy. He posted if for sale at $140 or $180 shipped. I offered $200 shipped to sweeten the deal for him. He agreed and I sent the money via paypal.
He then backed out and sent $196 back ($200-3% fee). So when I got the money back it was around $188 after my 3% fee. So I didn't get the lip and I lost a little money. He said he would pay me back but has avoided me for months. I'm not real concerned about the money. Its the principal.
Just kind of a crappy deal.
chaotichoax (evom mod) also tried contacting him with no luck. He gave me permission to post this. Thanks.
