    I'm actually surprised, I know he had it. I almost bought it 2 weeks ago, but didn't want to respray it. The Black on it is so nice. I'll text him and see what he says.

    yeah i jump on it cause it was a good deal, sent him the money and he said that he recieved the money. Still waiting to recieve it.

    I purchased this too! paypal'd and everything. Asked him what the deal was when he quit responding, said a family member died, gave him a week, still no response! What a POS! We're all adults here but this is crap.

    someone told me that even if you sent the money as a gift you can still place a claim.

    I'd call paypal right away before it's too late. It's worth a shot.

    Sorry to hear that guys, some people are just parasites of this society but people like this don't make it far

    Good luck.

    Sorry to hear about this.

    Notice for everyone: If anyone ever requests you paypal as a "gift" say FU . It's 100% scam.

    I believe I purchased some Spacers from the same user a while back. I cleared my inbox so have no record of a reminder any more. But the username looks familiar.

    I paid him, he said he sent the spacers which I never received. Saying they were lost by the PO yet never provided a receipt or tracking number for the item. This is odd because I receive about 10 -15 packages a week and everyone at my local post office knows me by name, yet never had one package lost.

    In the end he kept making excuses about how he doesn't have the funds to refund me, etc. Long story short, after emailing back and forth in frustration, I told him to keep the money as a charity donation for his sorry self. Good karma on my part, bad on his.

    I wish Vortex would have a more filtered approach to the classifieds like the Audizine does.

    People like this are a reason I request stuff I buy to be sent COD to me.
    This way the part is at the Post Office when I pay for it.

    Sucks to hear you guys got taken.
    Hopefully someone here has a drone with a little "something" to send over the guys house.

    Thats if he even shows up now. Since no one likes him (and he knows that) and he knows people are looking for him, I am guessing he won't come.

    Such a scumbag. Oh, we didn't notice you changed your location and your vehicle either. Too bad the 716 in your user name is a buffalo area code.

    From user "Lifesgood" in his other for sale thread of the GLI partout:

    Purchased spacers on Oct 30, it is December 13th now with no spacers in sight, no tracking number as requested prior to shipping, and NO refund.....Buyer beware.

    anybody have an address for this dude. I legit will drive up there and knock on his door. How old is he? live at home still? I would thoroughly enjoy having a conversation with him in person. Anyone else who got taken feel free to come with me. Any of you locals in the Buffalo area, feel free to message me if you have any more info on this guy Tilly.
