Thanks for the PM Bud. Unfortunatly that number is no longer in service, and paypal cannot help me cuz I waited over 30days from the time I sent him the money to file a claim. i now have to wait another 180 days before they can help me again. A member sent me his address but that really doesn't help me much, as I cant go to his house because I live in NC. Its pretty gay this grown man has no responsibility to follow up with his transactions. i hope I am not over blowing things out of proportion here, but this really sucks and puts alot of my plans to a halt. I am still looking for this guy, and just want my cash back at this point.
Thanks to all the members who have PM'ed me and continue to help me out.

Acceptable excuses at this point......Seller has died, in jail, in the hospital or death in the family.

Anything short of that and he is a F#@king thief. This makes it bad for others that would like to sell something.

With that said...its safe to assume at this point that he has scammed you. Its not like you purchased a 350z emblem from him, and he forgot. I am sure he cant help but notice the motor sitting in his living room.

Louie....post the address....I am sure there is a member that lives in his area that would be willing to slip a reminder note under his door reminding him that there is a new owner of the motor...or return cash.

There is only one thing I hate more than a shop that rips off customers and that's a member that rips off other members.

Good luck

The mods probably won't let you post the address because of the privacy policy, but you should be able to contact him through it - certified mail if you have to... At least that will erase any possibility of this just being a case of miscommunication.

EDIT: why don't you post the city and zip and maybe someone will volunteer to drop by if they live close to him? (you can exchange the specific address by PM)

I know where he lives just dont have a way to stop by. All his numbers dont seem to work any more, so I am kinda stuck till someone drops him a line (knocks on his door).

Ask in the regional forums for someone to go by his place and see whats up. I'm sure there are people who would be willing.

check your pm's.

also:

if he lives in a apartment find out which one it is and the number to the office. Call and pretend to be something important I.E. debt collecter explain that the said person is avoiding a $500 bill and that if you could have the house number (if there is one) since one wasnt provided or a current cell phone number. if they decline simply ask if someone may put a letter in his door/mailbox or something with your name contact number and maybe say that it was in regards to a transaction on my350z.com.

and if he lives in a house you try the same thing with the homeowners association. they are usually only active in townhomes or upscale neighborhoods, but its worth a try plus the reps are usually the old lady that snoops on everyone so she is probably more than glad to let him know whats up. the number for the homeowner assoc is a little harder to get, but its always available.
