    Let me know what comes of it please. I still need my trim pieces.

    It is people like this who ruin the rest of the honest sellers' reputations. After a couple of these occurrences this year, I think I am finished with used parts.

    Thanks.

      I purchased a set of euro front trims from him a month and a half ago. I was pleased with the original transaction until I realized he sent two drivers side pieces. I asked him what he wanted to do about getting me the proper piece and on 3-16-14 he said he would send it out to me.

      Still have heard nothing, no response to any PM's or emails. And he has been banned.

      I called, didn't ring and went straight to v-mail. I sent another text, hope you guys get to the bottom of it.

        He just sent me a PM with some bumpers for sale... I think I'll steer clear unless he can prove he has his shit together.

              I put him in timeout 30 days ago with instructions on how to resolve this issue. It seems he has no respect for the R3V staff or his customers. I have sent him a final message this morning asking him to explain and resolve the situation. If he does not reply promptly he will be permanently banned as well as IP banned.

              For those who have vouched for him, tell him to man up.

                Is there anything we can do with the authorities?

                  I've found the following requirements to be hugely beneficial in mitigating sale scams on other forums:

                  1. Post count requirement (50-100 posts minimum)
                  and/or
                  2. Membership duration (3 months minimum)
                  and
                  3. Picture of said items in current condition
                  with
                  4. Screen name and Date written down on a piece of paper next to items for sale


                  I think being able to sell items on a forum is a privilege that should be extended to contributing members only.

                  Sweet, only 9 posts to go before I can sell something. JK

                        Dang, I actually purchased a great working heater core valve from the guy with no issues. Sad to see he couldn't deliver on what he promised.

                            Hopefully one of these nice fellas who vouched for the guy has this info and can assist you.

                            Wish I could.

                                I'll do my best to reach out to him this weekend, but his communication lately has been pretty spotty at best.
