I fear I may have been screwed...

[snrusnak]

Offered a member my oem headlights for free if he paid shipping. Yes took me a month to get to it (sorry, reroofing my house, holidays, travelling 1200 mile round trips twice in december, etc, etc). Since it was out of the country I had no idea what the cost would be so just told him paypal me after so we don't have to guess. As soon as I shipped it communications ceased. I guess I'll be optimistic and hope he got busy or something, but I guess in reality I need to stop trusting people...

Username Bu311. Should have known, 2 posts!!!! Tracking is vague just says when it shipped, does not show received. Maybe he's just waiting to receive it to send payment... If he does end up paying, then I take back everything I said

I will keep my fingers crossed for you mate and i hope you dont get screwed and if nobody trusted then where would we be so i commend you for doing that! and good luck i guess.

Bu311.

From somewhere near omaha nebraska perhaps? where the band 311 originated....

or just a clever way to spell buell???

2 posts?? That sucks, I really, really hope it works out.

I commend your generosity, don't let one a-hole ruin your outlook

Shipping address and name? PM me and I will see what turns up on a background check.

Background check.......god I love this group. Chief of smoke can call in a 'reminder' shot.

Society needs the good and generous, don't ever let the lack of character in others dull your own. Hopefully, it'll work out fine; if not youve got a pay it forward marker to turn in when its your turn to need something.

Do you have tracking number? Has it been delivered? You can use Collect on Delivery (C.O.D.) service.

That's funny snrusnak!, but wouldn't a fake one look a lot like the old ones? haha! Or maybe that's the genius part?? Print out 100's of your own design and just tell people it's the 'new one'. Profit!

Craigslist is one of those "necessary evils". You get to meet some uh, 'interesting' people, right?

 

[AZmidget91]

Yeah, create your own "new bill" and update the wikipedia page to show your bill, because you know, if it's on the internet, it's true....free money :up:

I think we're on to something... wait a sec! Thats what the .gov has been doing for years!

Never mind

I have been unloading my stuff on the new wallapop app. It might not be available in your area just yet but its very easy to use from a phone. Really fast and user friendly local action.

Well after 5 months of every once in a while thinking "damn that guy in Africa", I received my headlights back today in the mail. Labelled U/C RTS or Y/C RTS, not sure. I know RTS is return to sender, not sure the other...

So maybe he didn't necessarily screw me, but I am out $30, maybe something screwed up in the mail but the way he suddenly stopped responding I'd bet something happened to him...

I spent $30 to mail my junk lights around the world...I can now say my buell has been on another continent

 

[snrusnak]

hmmm, so maybe he was trying to steal from me and not pay, but forgot to pick the part up? lol

I've been to South Africa. When I asked why things are the way they are, they just get a matter of fact attitude and say, "this is Africa".
