Nobody wants you to get screwed over ... just saying every dealing I have had with sportsam and the photo's, etc add up to be no good in my book... maybe we will all be suprised and it will turn out great for you Chad... we can only hope

Thanks, I appreciate it...and I hate it that he stole and used your pics, that's just wrong. I have messaged him requesting new pics of the actual chassis, with proof that he actually has one, if he really has one...maybe he will respond. Just the fact that he stole your pics and used them to show the item he was selling, even if he has a Lightning for real, make me not want anything from him at all. If he really does have a Lightning, and it is in great condition, he would have taken pics of it...not stole pics of a different chassis. Anyway, I guess time will tell, but I will keep you guys updated on what he says and what happens.

Yea, this adds up to no good in my book as well.

well i know he did have a lightnig a few months ago because when i sold the hrc truck to him he asked if i had a set of tranny mounts for a lightning he picked up, i never saw a pic of his chassis but he was trying hard to get my extra set of tranny mounts because he said ppl did not want to buy the chassis without the mounts..i personally think the rcm cd mount looks awsome on the lightning and if i bought a lightning without the mount i would be fine with that so if you do get his chassis without mount just look at the bright side and go rcm cd mount :party:

Well, if I do get the chassis, it better be in as good of condition as the picture of yours that he used...heh! He also said that he had the transmission mounts and they were included with the chassis, so we'll see I guess...I am not holding my breath on even getting the chassis, much less the chassis and the mounts. I mean, IF he is not scamming me, why on earth would he not take a picture of the actual item he is selling?

Anyway, we'll just have to see how this turns out.

Claim time
 

If it were me I would just file a claim on this one and go from there. The fact that he is not answering your emails is suspicious to me. If the chassis shows up you can always make good on the payment, but if it does not and you wait too long you will surely get screwed. Too may unprofessional mistakes in this sale have shown up already for my taste. Everyone who has dealt with this guy has gotten burned, and his details don't add up.

U should sell me that shiny thing with the blue straps ;

g4 emaxx its just sitting there doing nothing with some tires:whistle::lol:

I agree, and am doing so as soon as I am done typing this.

I'd also check through all the paypal and ebay info you have from the sale. Sometimes you get lucky and the person put their phone number in with their paypal or ebay account. Being able to speak with someone is alot better way to get a feel for the situation. Its also a more effective way of hounding someone into getting something done than a easily deleted email.

Good info
 

That is really good advice. Either find his phone number or get it from that post earlier who said he has the contact info, and call this guy up. If he gives you a bad feeling after talking to him or he just does not answer your calls, then cancel the deal and get your cash back. That way he has to fight with Ebay or PayPal to find a resolution. If you get the chassis and are satisfied with the item, then make good on your end.

It is a shame to have to do business that way, but some of these "A" holes just force us to move to drastic measures. If you sell something to a buyer then please have the integrity to communicate with them and do the right thing. Otherwise your deal is going to end up just like this one. What a bunch of crap.

Did you ever post a link to the ebay auction

Yes he did.
 

This guy responded to a question I asked him about one of his other auctions, so he has been online...it was last night at 9-ish pacific time.
