I too never ship anything out until I have received payment. Not that I dont wanna trust anyone, its just that its hard to when you hear about crap like this.
Sorry to hear about this man. Karma is a b*tch and ALWAYS bites you in the a$$. It'll find him.
Bummer! I sell some stuff online, but it never leave my possession until I'm in receipt of verified payment.
This is the second apparent rip off we've seen in the last week. Folks take the mans advice above, buyers beware, I feel the majority here are honest, but it's still the internet and you still take a chance of losing money when you deal online sad, but very true fact.
Dude pay the money you owe the guy for the pipes, clear this up and show good faith in return for the good faith the seller put in you by sending the pipes without payment, do the right thing and fix this problem how about it??????
sure does make you lose faith in people. I borrowed a nieghbor kid (20 something) $45 bucks a couple months ago for a day and said don't let me down; I haven't seen him since. I planned on never seeing the money again but thought I would give him a break and the bennifit of the doubt.
post the address where you shipped the pipes to. I got ripped off last year by a "master bike builder" in Nashville, and was surprised by the number of people that offered to go "visit" with him...
