haha these posts always give me a chuckle. Someone is a cheap *** and misses out on a deal, then immediately gets all pissy and tries to make the other guy the bad guy. Ive had so many people on here try to agree on pricing and such only to never fulfill or pay when it came down to it...the way i see it, first to pay get the goods, You didnt pay first, so keep looking

I bought wheels from WHONXT this summer and he was great. Not that it applies to this but I figured I'd give him some positive feedback.

Thanks for the good words. I had a for sale thread that had to be closed due to this guy, but i'm glad to know that people don't judge the wrong way.

I agree! I never give dibs for this reason. First to pay is the first to get the parts. No question about it.

Again, the deal was complete on the supercharger kit. When I asked for his information so I could have insurance for my purchase..IE> Copy of Driver's License, he never replied for several days and then came up with the story he sold it to someone else. I was not sending 3K+ in a money order and not have any insurance, so that if I had to involve the authorites, I could.

All I can say is I was just trying to warn of a possible scam. if you feel that I am pissy over a few dollars, that is fine also. You can buy his parts and take the chance!

That's the thing. You are not out any money. It's not like he took your money then decided to sell to another person. You have every right to ask for identification and all, but if he found a person that was willing to give him his asking price, he has every right to take their money and sell to that person if they get the money to him first.

Thanks for the help here, but don't waste your time with this guy. Reasoning won't work. The items he wanted are almost all shipped out and gone by now. He isn't going to move on, he will just continue to bitch and do stupid things like start this post because he cannot find all the parts for such comparable price anywhere else.

I'm the one that he sold the kit to. I paid him his asking price, and he sent out the kit quickly. I received it a few days ago, and everything was fine. He is not a scammer, and was actually very easy to work with and seems like a nice guy. He always answered my phone calls, or returned my e-mails very quickly. He sent me tracking numbers as soon as it shipped.

He is a good seller and a good guy.
