I just won a like-new UE Lightning Chassis for $416!!! - Page 4 - RC-Monster Forums

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.

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.

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.

JERRY2KONE · **Good info -** 05.19.2010, 10:02 PM

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.

hey bud, nice chassis you bought. what are you selling?? and no i have not seen those dace adaptors in the mail yet? but i still have your hcr skid. let me know.

Chadworkz · 05.21.2010, 02:07 AM

Well, he finally responded...he said he was not sportsam, and that he personally took those pictures of the chassis, and that he will be getting the chassis shipped out tomorrow. I told him about the pictures being ones someone else had taken of their personal chassis that they still own, and asked him to take another picture of the actual chassis since he hadn't yet shipped it, this time with a piece of paper with today's date hand-written on it next to the chassis...no reply yet.

I contacted eBay and told them about what is going on, so I will not only get my money back, but this dude will get his account suspended/deleted as well.

suicideneil · 05.22.2010, 04:13 AM

Didnt you win the auction like a week ago, and he hasnt posted the item yet? What a total knobber.

I hope he does post the item, but I have a feeling you'll be getting a refund.. in about a month ( good old ebay/ paypal, get there eventually )

Chadworkz · 05.22.2010, 02:13 PM

I know, it sucks. I have started the refund process, though, so I just have to wait for the refund. The best part is, I have also filed a fraud claim, so he will be investigated and will lose his eBay account. I know he will just create another account, but he will at least lose his current account, and will have to go through the trouble of creating a new account and start over with a 0 feedback rating!
