Will do! I'm hoping this is the last I hear of it. If something does come up I'm not afraid to peruse him. I now know where he works and lives so he would be an idiot to go any further

Wow - glad everything worked out.

I'm usually the buyer, not the seller and I've had pretty good luck buying stuff through the forums/ebay using paypal (other car forum). I've had to deal with a couple of cheats, specifically from a group buy and learned my lesson the hard way of what not to do.

There were some good tips here from a seller perspective, so thanks to those members for that.

The whole "Sorry Dude, my wife trashed the wheels, I want my money back....." thing is pretty weak.

Even if it were true, how the hell would it be Nate's problem? No logic at all.

I feel the dude was planning to get his money back the whole time. Once the cops showed up at his work he contacted me saying his wife calmed down and is calling the bank back.

Life is complicated enough without subjecting ourselves to dishonest people. Even back in the close knit Message Board days we had scammers. I do think that as the Forums get more popular it is harder for a scammer to stay anonymous and we tend to self police ourselves with members in most every community that we would deal with to help out.

I am totally surprised that a local police force would take the time, so congratulations on that and to them.
