An unfinished deal...with CarbonEvoFiber
Well, I've always observed sales going on here in hopes of getting a decent set of wheels, and recently bought some in the past month. Unfortunately there was a problem with all of this, and I've recently created a Paypal dispute over it. I just noticed this forum, already rated him on his sale of poor business ethics on here so I apologize if that was out of order. Though poor business practice in my opinion can't be undone nor should my rating imo.
The proof
This is just a PM where the price was disclosed... I responded saying I was really interested just wasn't ready to spend that kind of money yet. This was the final price I paid.
In the email I got with the pictures, he said this to entice me.
Later on after I received the wheels, they weren't with it obviously... I emailed him and this was the response.
Then after not hearing from him for a while after the whole "Oh I forgot" spiel I sent another email.
That's it basically.
I just recently sent this as a dispute in Paypal. While it's not the most perfect wording I've frankly spent enough time on this already just compiling the evidence.

Brad,
Let me just highlight a "Timeline of Events"...
This is the PM where price was finalized. If you recall I was very interested but I wasn't going to be able to buy them quickly... http://i1139.photobucket.com/albums/...ps8eb0605e.jpg
In the initial email you sent me you offered the lugnuts (http://i1139.photobucket.com/albums/...psa2bd5288.jpg) that were mentioned by you a $60 value. They were never retracted from the deal. The fact that you're unsatisfied with the final price and that you got "hosed" from shipping just means you shouldn't have made the deal, not that you should dishonor the original agreement. This is just simply poor business practice and ethics.
Then these emails basically you backing out of your deal.

What do I want? Simple. Either the lugnuts you originally offered or a $60 refund for the price that you mentioned they were worth.
I'm sorry it had to come to this, I really am happy with the wheels but it's very poor business to do something like this to your customers.

I am by no means a law student ( and correct me if I am wrong) but what he said is "I CAN" not "I WILL"
Dont get me wrong I despise scammers and people that take advantage of others (i have been on the unfortunate end of being scammed here) but when he sent that PM did you respond YES I want the Lugs?

sounds to me like he owes you the lugs or the money back. He may have said that "he can" but in the next message he also said that he forgot, implying that he meant to but it had just slipped his mind.
Shame he tried to change the deal on you because he made a mistake. That's just not cool, but glad to hear you're getting your lugnuts after all.
