Does anyone off here know him?

Bought a hauler nearly 3weeks ago an still not got it

Anyone know who or where he is please

I bought his radio gear & a lipo saddle pack from his 'Giving up' for sale post.

After a couple of PMs & an email it was posted 10 days after I paid, but it arrived safely the next day as described (well, almost!)

He said he'd been working away, hence the delay (which sounds completely feasible).

I have no problem with the guy, the purchase or the transaction, but it seemed ironic that he wanted me to pay instantly (he agreed to hold it for me until I got home from college to pay), but then didn't post it for ages

Sounds like others have been delayed more than me (there's another in the trader feedback too)

Thanks for the reply pal

I should give him the benefit of doubt i guess - though 3 weeks is pushing it...

Hopefully my bag will turn up soon

I did get a pm from a buyer that had been waiting 4 weeks for an item from him. Not sure what the outcome was with this one though.

I haven't seen him on MSN for a few days now, but he's a sound guy so I'm sure there's a reason

Suppose thats what i was looking for - he certainly seemed a sound guy (once he offered to help me out with some Durango parts, x-rings for free) however they ddint actually come!

If he's sound enough guess he's just busy....

I think the moral here is buyer beware, not with ref to this guy, but just generally buying off people you don't know, I've bought off many people with very mixed results. some take ages, others are quick, some reply to messages and others don't. sometimes it's as described and sometimes it's not and really there is no comeback, so unless it's something cheap it's a gamble.

Hope you get your hauler mate

B4 Pete used to race at our club, and I know one of our members has his mobile number.

If you PM AdamS (http://www.oople.com/forums/member.php?u=7239) he should be able to provide the phone number for Pete.

Chris.

Yep course its a gamble etc -though everyone i have bought off from here i have found to be very good (all honest etc)

Like you say there is no come-back, unless of course i had an address, not adverse to knocking on someones door!

Me too....I brought a motor off him 3 weeks ago and its still not here

If he's taken the payments and not got round to posting after at least one week then this is a no no

If he has proof of posting then he's in the clear as it's then the Shipping Service that's at fault. Lets hope it's the latter.
